Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Getting Disc Release

In case you haven't jumped on the Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition bandwagon just yet, Microsoft will be offering a disc version of the game at retail on April 30th.

The disc version of the game will include all the same features as the digital download, including both online and split-screen multiplayer support. It will also feature all of the content from all nine of Minecraft 360's title updates. The ninth update hasn't even hit the XBLA version yet, but there's still plenty of time between now and April 30th for that to happen.

It doesn't appear as if any of the additional content like Skin Packs will make the jump, but the optional DLC is offered at such a nominal fee that it's really not that big of a deal. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will retail for $19.99 when it arrives on shelves. The game will also be making its way to Australia, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan in June.
