<div style="width: 550px; text-align: center" align="center">Minecrafters beware! Your favorite spiders, creepers, and zombies are arriving on your Xbox 360. The platform version of the game, which was announced at the 2011 E3 conference, will finally be released on Wednesday, May 9 as an arcade title on Xbox Live. Minecraft will cost you 1600 Microsoft Points. The monetary value of 1600 Microsoft points is $19.96 USD.
There will be a few minor differences between Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition and the original PC version of the game. The most notable and most intriguing difference may be the eventual introduction of the Kinect's motion technology to the game. Although it will not be available at launch, Kinect will allow you to physically go through the motions of building your house and mining diamonds. Another major difference is the crafting system in the Xbox 360 Edition. Instead of the traditional 2x2 and 3x3 crafting grids, the console version will only require you to have the ingredients necessary for the item you are crafting and the game will craft it for you. To top it off, the new edition will feature a split screen functionality and a tutorial mode. For the MC mod and texture pack lovers, the new game will support mods and texture packs down the road.
