Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition boxed release dated
Coming 28th June, with 48-hour Gold subscription.
The Xbox 360 version of sandbox smash-hit Minecraft will be released in physical form for the first time on 28th June, Microsoft has announced.
Boxed copies will come with a free 48-hour subscription to Xbox Live Gold, but will otherwise be exactly the same game as their downloadable brothers.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has been a phenomenal success since it launched on Xbox Live Arcade last year. It shifted more than five million copies in eight months - many more than the PC original in the same timeframe, and is to date the best-selling Xbox Live Arcade game ever.
In total, Minecraft sales across all platforms are somewhere above 19 million. Wow.
A version for Sony consoles is being considered for when Microsoft's console exclusivity deal runs out.
