Feels a bit familiar to me. Microsoft don't seem to be trend setters anymore. They seem way too obviously reactionary.

"hey! Let's do minecraft, kids love minecraft!"
"good idea! ... what's minecraft?"
"dunno."

i reeaally hope that this won't affect the pc version at all (new features, etc.)

Notch said on Twitter that Mojang isn't developing it, another developer is, so I wouldn't think so.

Also, Minecraft on the Xbox 360 seems like a great way to think inside the box. I'll stick with the version that allows for modding, dedicated servers, etc.

Everytime I think of Minecraft on anything except a PC, I lose interest pretty quickly.

It was destined to happen sometime. THE FUTURE IS HERE.

Can't wait, just hope i don't have to pay for it again (even though i know i will).

sounds soo epic. :D

My only question is will I be able to play minecraft on xbox with the controller instead of kinect? I really hope so.

I saw a video of someone playing the PC version with Kinect on youtube a while ago. Looked good so I hope it carries over well to the console. 

Fortress Craft is doomed.

Mojang is still developing it, but another team inside the company was what I got from his tweets. There are several projects Mojang is working on, the PC Minecraft team is still plugging away.

As long as it's free for those who already have a account then I'm on-board. 

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

Ugh... Kinect...

I don't know if someone posted this already, but I found it... interesting. Minecraft Xbox free for alpha buyers. Does it hold any water? Do you find it immoral to exploit a legal loophole like this?

Since microsoft charges developers for updates to their games, I have no idea what notch is going to do since the game isn't really finished yet.
