You bought the game ON PC, and you will get the full release...ON PC. 360 version id a different platform, and aside from portal 2, never heard of being able to play a game on a different platform legally. I fail to understand why people are saying notch has broken his promise here. He hasn't. Even if you got it in alpha....i can understand how Notch's promises extend to the 360 version at all.

Also, if you own it on PC, why would you wanna play it on 360 anyway? in my experience only a couple of games are better on console than on PC, and the reason they're better is they're ported. 9/10 times,t he PC version is better anyway, and seeing how minecraft is a native PC game....it's most likely going to be better.

Because they can switch from COD and Halo to minecraft without going to their siblings and saying how they were right about PC being better just to use it.

PC > Xbox.

because he stated that you get ALL future versions if you brought the game earlier, then he outright changed that

he should give everyone(who brought it in alpha) a code to download the game for free(for the xbox)

Because they want what they feel they deserve and are stubborn enough to miss out on the game because of it.

The last time somebody (Valve) tried to give away a free console version of a PC game (Portal 2), it didn't exactly work out well with the console maker's company. Notch wouldn't be able to give free Xbox copies if he wanted to.

Because a large portion of the 'we deserve the 360 version' was invented on /v/ (a board with an utterly toxic attitude to videogames IMO) by people who admitted they were doing it to to **** with Notch and joined by people who really don't think they deserve the 360 version but would still jump on any bandwagon that could get them free stuff.

That pretty much sums most of it up.

If you don't have a desktop PC, then this game sucks. It runs horribly on a laptop, and I've never had problems with performance on consoles.

Well, actually he said we were entitled to all future updates of the game. Minecraft 360 is not an update. However, I have faith that Notch will work out a deal to get his Alpha customers a discount on Minecraft 360 (getting it for free is just not feasible).

Really? It runs perfectly fine on my laptop with 256x texture pack, Far view distance, Fancy graphics, and hangs around 45-60fps.

If we want to be all technical, alpha purchasers were guaranteed all future "versions" of the game. But it doesn't take a lawyer to know that won't fly when its released on a different company's platform.
