Cheapest it's ever been was 5€ in pre-alpha, but they don't do sales. Like, ever.

If you absolutely refuse to pay $27, I guess you could wait for the Euro to go down in value. Then you can get it for $26.

Well, I got it for $14 last year in a 50% sale (actually it was buy 1 get 2, and bought with a friend).

It is a nice game, but expencive for an Indie. Notch must have a real Diamond Pickaxe by now.

I got it for 26.95, cheaper than 27...

I got it for FREE! never paid a cent for it, I got someone else to pay $27 LoL

why would you even want to play that shit game

I bought minecraft for $6 2 years ago

I got mine when it was indev and now I see it as a wise investment to have bought it early before later.

Don't buy that crap

That's not a bad price for an amazing game.

sure, there are many sites, however, Mojang dont have any authorised resellers o you'll be risking the account being closed.

Are you serious; that game is almost $30!?

I just bought Mafia 2 and Recettear for $8; I could likely get around 6-7 very nice games for the price of that game. Hell, even Dishonored was just $7.50 at GetLoadedGo. I can't understand how anyone would pay $30 for Minecraft of all games.

O: 1 year ago I knew this guy who sold blackmarket keys and I think he was selling 2x minecraft keys for $7

I actually have an old Minecraft account if you want.

I thought you were lying at first because when I bought it it was around $7 Canadian. Back to your question though...Mojang has not realeased any coupons or price-cuts (other than Alpha/Beta purchases) so I doubt you can get it cheaper off of the main site. Also, since MOJANG publishes its own games they will not let others sell it too (except for the 360). I doubt you can find a price cut, sorry.

Wtf minecraft 27 dollars?

It's not even worth 5 bucks (average sale of indie game) in my book.

the xbox version is just 20.

but other than that lurk around for giveaways or something.

I actually played downloaded version for about a year on non-premium server and than got it about a month after official release for full price. Still worth it if you ask me, got at least 1k hours on it and still playing.

The source might be released eventually, but who knows when that will be.

Get 7 days to die for $15, alpha version will come in July.

MSG ME ON STEAM I HAVE WHAT YOU WANT

just be ready to make a trade and trust me
i wouldnt tarnish my good name btw cheating a trade

From what I hear, you can just use someone else's login info. The only (supposed) restriction is that you can't be on the same SERVER with the same account twice. In other words, if you can get a key from someone you'll never play with, you're golden. I don't own/play Minecraft (Terraria all the way IMO) but this was the idea I got from a conversation between two friends.

Also, Terraria is IMO much better than Minecraft and frequently goes on sale for $2.50 on Steam. Just saying.

Wow, that's what it costs these days? Glad I got the early adopter discount...

I bought it in alpha for $10 and was extremely disappointed with the release game.

Anyone who would pay even one cent for minecraft after release has no standards or taste.

Forget about minecraft. Buy terraria or Starbound instead.
