why is minecraft 1600 microsoft points

shouldnt this game be 1200 microsoft points

It's more expensive on the PC.

If anything you should be asking why isn't it 2000 MSP.

If you disagree with the price, then don't buy it. I could personally find the difference down the back of the couch.

its because its about the same price on PC as 1600msp.

the game costs almost $30 on PC

Yeah it is unfortunate that it's that priced for 20$ on the MP, but it's more unfortuante that that's the realistic price since that's how much it costs on PC. Shame.

No, 1600 points is a fair price.gamerfreak1991

The PC version is far superior anyway, no mods/texture packs. No infinite items in Survival. meh.

Even if it were free I still won't download it. This game is boring!

because its even more expensive on pc

its Microsoft.. did you expect a cheap game? They sell word processing/editing software for the price of a pc.. they charge loads bcuz ppl are stupid enough to pay.

it cost like 25+ for pc lol. You should be thankful microsoft or minecraft dev didn't want more.

IF you had issue with the price you should nab it for $1 when it was in beta lol. it started out at $1 and everytime they updated the gamje the price went up

Because suckers, that's why.

Because there is so much stuff in the game and probably one of the biggest maps in games today.

Its cheaper than pc, doesnt compute ..

It's a bummer now, because the "default price" for XBLA games is going to be 1600 points soon.

Not that I care one way or another, but people are comparing the WRONG PC game. this game IS NOT, the same as mincreaft is on pc. I understand and can obviously understand people saying the game is great and that it is worth the money regardless. And to that end I agree. but this excuse that the PC version is more is to compare apples to steaks. The 360 edition is actually based on the pc BETA version of the game that was over a year ago. As a result you will see that some things in minecrat today are missing in this version. perhaps that is justifiaction for a lower price but to say people are getting a bargain based on the PC versions cost is simply ignorant.

The price is the price because Notch is a boss!! We should be thankful that the game exists at all on XBLA. The developer is as indie as it gets and he can dictate the price or Xbox can miss out on a sweet game.

As for the release being the PC Beta... I heard that is changing with a future update. I originally questioned getting it but once I got on my friend's map and started working with him on projects, it solidified any questions I had prior to purchasing.

What? Why would you think that? The PC version is 27 bucks. The XBLA version is ALREADY discounted. What more could you want? There is an incredible amount of high quality content contained within Minecraft XBLA. It's priced fine at 20 bucks. I would venture to say that, given the wild popularity of Minecraft, Notch had a lot of sway in how he wanted to get the game onto XBLA, hence why Minecraft will be allowed far more updates than the average game, something MS almost never allows.

Minecraft just became the most successful XBLA launch of all time priced at 20 bucks. I'd say the price was perfect. I bought the game day one on xbox and I love it.

I've had a blast with it so $20 well spent.

What? WHAT? Minecraft is worth every penny of that $20 and then some. Go buy it.
