good find op, heat

I've just ordered an Xbox 1 for my sons Christmas present. He has minecraft on the xbox360 and I believe this is backwards compatible. So my question is would this be any different to what I already have? :man:

From what I've seen biggysilly, the Xbox One version is a much bigger game; more items available etc.

I thought I read you can upgrade from 360 version to xbox one for £3?

voted hot because it is 60p cheaper than Game or anywhere else I could find in a quick search

Just going off the product page: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/minecraft-xbox-one-edition

Bigger worlds, faster draw time, and greater draw distance
Native 1080p at 60 FPS
The widest range of downloadable content on a console

If you can wait till after Christmas I'll get my son to do a review for you :smile:

£10.97 + £2 postage on Gamestop

Cheeky **** Mine craft isn't on the backward compatibility list so you have to buy it again. :man:

I'm pretty sure if you already have Minecraft on the 360 you get it a lot cheaper on xbone.

I'm pretty sure it is going to rain tomorrow so I might get wet but not as wet as your comment. I'll eat my hat if you can prove it with a link! :man:

thread is expired so cant confirm till xmas day if it still works, unless anyone has done it recently

Linky

Found proof it did work, no idea if it still does. :sunglasses:

Is this still going?

I've literally just tried this and didn't seem to work (do you actually need to start a new game of minecraft while logged onto your Xbox live account on the 360? Never used Xbox live before, just played on my local profile, but want the cheap Xbox one upgrade....I've been Googling it a bit and someone suggested that the deal might have expired in September?

​It's still going I recently bought it for Xbox one on Xbox.com it was about 4 pound, had the disc of it on the 360.

If i buy this just now from microsoft (upgrade) can i wait till christmas to install it as thats when my lad is getting his xbox1
thanks

Can someone please explain what all the fuss is with Minecraft, when the graphics are so pants? :confused:

Differences between Xbox versions

Minecraft is available on Xbox 360 as a digital download or as a physical disc. There is no difference between downloadable and physical versions of the game.

The Xbox One edition is available as a digital download through the Xbox Store. Compared to the Xbox 360 version, the Xbox One edition of the game provides for larger game worlds with better draw distance and performance.

Can Minecraft be played between Xbox and non-Xbox versions?

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition can only be played with other Xbox 360 consoles on Xbox Live, and the Xbox One edition can only be played online with other Xbox One consoles. There is no cross-platform play with the other editions of Minecraft.

Support for non-Xbox versions

Microsoft only provides customer support for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and Minecraft: Xbox One Edition. For all other versions of the game, go to Minecraft for support. :man:

Thanks guys - I logged onto XBox Live through Minecraft, but didn't actually start a game, so maybe that's why it's not showing. I'll try it again next week and if not then just buy the flippin' thing for £12-£13.

It's £14.99 now, doh!

Well, I've logged onto my Xbox Live account through the game on Xbox 360. Started a game. Saved it. Quit.

....still showing as £13.59 when I log in through the links. Do I need an active Xbox Live Gold subscription rather than bog-standard free Live account for this to work or something? :-(
