I guess after selling over 5 million copies over Xbox Live Arcade, it’s fair to say that Minecraft is a huge success on the Xbox 360 and deserves a retail copy. I know that there are people out there who for one reason or another have not had a chance to experience what Minecraft has to offer due to data limit or no internet connection at all.

4J Studios will cater to those people who can’t or don’t want to purchase it over Xbox Live Arcade starting on April 30th when Minecraft hits retail stores. There will be no difference from the downloadable counterpart of the game, but it will have all of the previous updates that the downloadable version has plus the upcoming “ninth update” which will add additional features as well. As expected, the retail version will receive all future updates also.

Who has been holding off for this to hit retail and is excited to see it finally makes it’s way onto disc?
