digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 My kids are asking for Minecraft on the Xbox. I don't play Xbox so i have questions... 1. What is the difference between Xbox and Xbox 360? 2. Which one can Minecraft be played on? 3. Is Minecraft available at stores or is it only for download? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 1. The 360 is newer than the original Xbox, yet still like 6 or 7 years old. You'd likely have the 360. 2. It's for the 360. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft 3. It's unlikely that it's only digital download, but I couldn't find it on amazon. Link to post Share on other sites

GOCUBSGO 77 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 1. Xbox is Microsoft's original gaming console. The 360 is the next generation Xbox. It has improved graphics, faster speeds, more features, etc. 2. Not entirely sure, but I believe Minecraft is available only for Xbox360. I would recommend getting the 360 anyways because all games that are now released are only released for the Xbox360 which makes the original Xbox pretty much obsolete. All original xbox games can be played on the 360 as well. 3. Minecraft should be available in some stores or you can purchase and download it from the Xbox live marketplace. If you have any other questions, feel free to pm me Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Try using Wikipedia more for stuff that specific. There's a page for every game, system, etc. I only use google to ask questions. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites

iBeaver 409 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I am building my interpretation of the White Tower in Tar Valin which is from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I built what you see three block by block. I Was trying to decide on the floor in the main hall and did the wood but I went back to when it was first introduced in the series and they said it was stone. I might redo it. Don't know yet. /nerd 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I need your help guys. I know nothing about computers. I need to buy a new laptop bc it's time. I don't play any video games or watch movies or anything on it. I just need it basically for my fantasy sports drafts on yahoo, and the fchl chat auction thing. And maybe editing the odd excel sheet for some of my other leagues. My old one was a pretty expensive MacBook but I don't really want to spend another $1200 on that. I'm leaning the chrome book bc it's cheap and I think it will do what I want. Is that a good choice? If not, what's a good choice for a cheap laptop for what I want? Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to go with a full computer without breaking the bank this one on sale at Futureshop this week is a good value at $500 It's basically the current version of what I have and do all my work on now. It'll handle a lot more than you say you need. http://www.futuresho...archPageIndex=1 Edit, no DVD drive which I have on my computer but never really use. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thanks bob. I don't really need a DVD drive or anything. I hate watching movies or tv shows on my laptop so I don't think I'll be needing a DVD drive. Do you know much about the cromebook? It's $329. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never used one but it isn't a Window's machine so won't operate Window's software but there are probably some work arounds for some Window's functions. This might help. http://www.cnet.com/news/living-with-chromebook-can-you-use-it-to-actually-get-work-done/ Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Cromebook basically only runs the Crome O/S; ie basically only a web browser. So if you truly only want it for updating Yahoo and editing google docs then you are gtg. If it must be MS Excel though.... you'll need something else. Unless you get a Microsoft 365 Sub -- a 'steal' at 'only' $7/month. ps: LibreOffice is a free alternative to MS Office Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I use to always get a Dell off of the website and than my IT guy said get a Toshiba from Best Buy. I have never switch back and I buy a new laptop every year. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looking through Bob's link it looks like CromeOS has grown to have more stuff runable in 'offline' mode so you aren't entirely crippled w/o web but still limted. The FCHL chat should be good to go as that was a IRC client within a web page. Link to post Share on other sites
