Minecraft is coming to Xbox 360. Its only console appearance will be on the Xbox 360. And it will support Kinect.

That's all we really know about this ill-defined new version of Minecraft, otherwise known as the most addictive PC beta test of all time. I've been sitting here racking my brains, trying to figure out exactly what all this is going to entail, but I just can't do it. I just keep picturing people doing the Fable: The Journey Fushigi hand motions to build stuff and terrible child actors trying to collect square coins, and then talking loudly about how they failed to do so. Or, maybe not.

All we do know? Minecraft is coming to the Xbox 360. That is most definitely a thing. We'll bring you more when we have it.

ok
Cant wait for the paid dlc.
Chopping wood motions anyone?

This was unexpected

Yeah more Minecraft! You can play that shit anywhere now!

Not gonna lie. I would play some xbox minecraft.

The one massively cool Microsoft announcement. Respect! Didn't see this coming.

Oh goody.

Fortress Craft is doomed.

My only question is, am I going to be charged for Minecraft again?  I mean I love the game and all but I'm not sure I want to pay for it again just to play it with my Xbox. (When I already have my computer hooked up to my TV if I want to see giant blocks even BIGGER. :) ) 

I still don't get how you would play Minecraft with Kinect.

lmfao what the fuck

Yay no mods/paying for mods.

Minecraft is also coming to the Playstation... phone... game thing.

Woo swing your arms until they fall off, only with Kinect.

I would play without Kinect. With Kinect sounds awful.

Hell ya! Love me some Minecraft, bring it to the xbox with achievements and I'm down! ;)

Nice of Microsoft to detail this version so clearly. 
 
"IT HAS KINECT!" 
 
'sigh' 
 
I also find it bizarre how an unfinished game is being ported to a console- thats got to be a first. Uhh... if it is a port. Come on MS, what is this exactly?

This was so weird!!

I feel like this is trying to be very "hip" with the "kids" by getting Minecraft for this new-fangled Kinecto machine.

Yeah, that came out of NOWHERE...but I'm still excited for it.

Only on 360... erm... no.

Minecrosoft. 
 
Feel free to use that, Bomb Squad.

OMG! OMG! OMG! (head goes boom) =)

I just hope they also have regular game pad support. Then I'll definitely be on board.

Minecraft on 360 plus kinect = me actually getting in shape

IF nothing else this means Minecraft will be moving over from java to C meaning it "should" run faster with increased view distance etc
 
i wont be using my hands to play a version with no mods/texture packs but not having parts of the world disappear in multilayer will be nice

One more place where I can play Minecraft, but I won't.

Fuck Yeah

Sure, why not? I'll still be playing Terraria instead.

it better release on ios before it does for xbox.

I'm curious about what's going on here, but I'll probably let this one pass. Still, good on someone for striking when the iron's still hot and getting this kind of stuff to a console.

Will Microsoft even support the amount of updates that come out for Minecraft? The prospect of having it on my phone is much more appealing.

This Minecraft bullshit HAS TO STOP.

This will be good if I can play with a controller

Sorry but Minecraft was so 2010 ...

Because that's the way you want to play Minecraft. On a console. With no mods. With motion controls.

/Slow Clap

Not for Microsoft, not for the Xbox, not for Kinect. But for Notch. Selling 2.5M copies of a game that technically isn't finished yet. Bravo. Signing an exclusive deal with Microsoft for said unfinished game. Bravo. Getting said unfinished game mentioned in the biggest press conference of Microsoft Games. Bravo. I tip my hat off to you, good sir.

Anyone else find it odd that the only microsoft games that mattered got no mention of kinect  with them?

And thousands of nerds screamed in rage.

Let's see how popular a 20 Euro Arcade game is...

I can't even imagine how you would play Minecraft with Kinect.

@DantronLesotho: Well, at least your right arm.

lol,with kinect eh? That´s gonna be fun to watch!

This makes no sense.

Now you don't have to play with kinect right, I can just use my controller right?

@DantronLesotho: Well, at least your right arm.

This sounds like something a deranged homeless person would scream at me. This makes zero sense. Are you going to use kinect for the inventory screen? That sounds retarded.
