Minecraft officially launching on 11/11/11

The immensely popular PC sandbox game Minecraft will finally leave beta status on November 11, 2011. The release date for the full version coincides with several other games and movies, so Minecraft's creator Markus Persson has decided to give it the unofficial tagline "us too." When it finally ships, it will be available for €20.00 ($28.87); right now it's still in beta and goes for €14.95 ($21.58).

Don't think it will be worth the price, considering that you can get a real game for that price, plus what happens to all the people who payed for the Beta ???

People who payed for the beta get the full game.

Mmmhm, I've purchase the Beta and a Beta key for a friend and we love the game, and beast, I don't know if you've tried it or not, but I think everyone should atleast once. =P

Whats the point of saying its going to launch in November, thats still a lifetime away.

I really hope it comes out on Steam, that way I can link it through my account, and update it through steam. The only reason being I feel like having it linked to my account I won't lose it one day.

lawl, same day has Skyrim.

Had been playing this one for about 2 weeks and its awesome. The gameplay by itself is very very original despite of the simple textures its a 9/10 game

What do you mean a real game? Last time I checked mine craft was a real game.

Pretty sure it was said if you bought the alpha you can the full game. However that part was removed from the agreement when the beta came out. I don't think it is clear cut whether or not you get the full game with the beta.

Also why isn't it a full game. It looks like way more of a full game than most games today. Just becuase it doesn't have modern graphics doesn't mean it is a full game.

if you bought it during alpha you get the full game + all DLC
If you bought during beta you get only the full game

Both got a discounted price for early purchase.

Selling over a million copies before official release- that is testimony enough to the fact that the game is worth every cent.

Been playing it for a while now. Its helplessly addictive and the gameplay is very innovative. Definitely worth a try, if you haven't already.

Glad to hear a release date. For what it is, and it's success through alpha/beta, Notch has done a marvelous job on Minecraft!!
