I've heard a lot of cool things about it. I've seen many nifty videos of things you can do with the crafting in it like the 16-bit ACU. I believe there is a free single player version of the game you can try out. I suggest giving that a go.

There's a much needed update near the end of October that will be adding some more stuff, updates have been somewhat lacking recently since the guy (Notch) has been busy setting up the business.
As for what Zymurgist said, the 16-bit ACU and other such things are useless to most people unless you have an interest in that sort of thing. The way it works seems unwieldy and limited, taking up massive space for even simple systems, and as such has no real use to the mining and building aspect of the game. For now at least.
Otherwise it's fun and a little bit addictive.

After trying the free version, I think the game has potential. However, seeing that the main game is still in an early alpha, I'm gonna wait some time before even thinking about investing in it. If it remains as popular as it is now (unaccountably, I would add), there will be a full demo at some point.

I would have to buy it eventually and I know a few people that would like it. but I cant buy it right now because I need to pay for my Pod Pilot License. that and I recently bought SCII for a family member so my wallet is still recovering from that.

Haha! Awesome series of vids. Never really did any searching for what minecraft was sans a few crazy looking youtube vids that made it seem like some sort of 3d lego plaything. But after watching all 13 of the survival vids and seeing the potential the game has I'm definintly getting a copy.

So, i get the pre-order to play the alpha.
Everything is going great. I built myself a castle with a lovely glass roof and a spire that pierces the heavens themselves. I managed to craft myself a number of awesome tools and weapons. life is good.
then while digging in my mine looking for more iron veins i dug up this cool little blue hole. I'm thinking its some kinda flooded cave. so, i jump into what i thought would be water. i was very wrong. it was actually the bottom of the world and i fell to my death losing all my iron, tools, and very nice weapons. 
I think I'm just going to start over...

Got Minecraft last night.
Ended up going to bed at 9am >.>
Brilliant concept with a lot of potential, particularly if you enjoyed playing with your Legos as a kid. Why didn't I think of this before?

definately worth buying now, cuz its cheap, and the price will go up. if you buy it now, you don't have to pay more for new versions.

Minecraft is one of those games that breaks just about every single convention out there:
-no real DRM
-Demo is close to fully featured, and has no time limit
-Crappy graphics
-Very little marketing/advertising - if any at all
-Basic gameplay - you place blocks and remove them
-Limited content - only a handful of blocks and monsters
The game lives purely off of it's core gameplay mechanics. It just goes to show that the thing that gamers really want is innovative and solid gameplay. Not flashy graphics and huge budgets.

Actually the demo is much more limited than the "full" version, there's no crafting or even inventory for instance.
Quote:

Well that's subjective isn't it, I mean they're great compared to some games 
Quote:
-Very little marketing/advertising - if any at all
And yet somehow the guy who made it has already amassed $3,000,000 from it
Quote:

True, like I said there is a bit of crafting and as mentioned earlier, red stone.
Quote:
-Limited content - only a handful of blocks and monsters
Again, true, but it is a beta and the maps are virtually infinite in size. Each world can be up to 8 times the surface area of the Earth though, so there is a limit but it would probably take your entire life to explore it.

So true.

It got multiplayer. Only limited by the power of the server you run it on.

I enjoyed it for a few days, but unless you're really keen on making pixel art sculptures you'll run out of things to do. Looking forward to seeing what is added down the road.

Sure, Why not?
It's not like survival mode is difficult.

Certainly not, but pixel art in minecraft is usually huge and gathering all the blocks must be worse than PI..

not really.. depends what you are trying to get i suppose.
PI is a lot about clicking the right place multiple times - tbh, minecraft is more about holding down the mouse button while you point in the general direction of what you are 'mining'. the precision control is not really required.

The problem with Minecraft right now is the lack of a real demo or anything. Creative, the free mode, is so out of date and completely different from Alpha it's not even the same game. You almost have to be a pirate to know you want to buy it.
But you do want to buy it.

Its not likes its an MMO, you pay once and you got it. I picked it up now since it was cheaper after all, adn I wanted to test it some more.
It is still alpha, so it kind of limited. I guess beta or a final version will be more interesting, and hopefully a decent multiplayer.

OK so I finally broke down and bought Minecraft. I checked my contract and despite what CCP Wrangler says I am allowed to play games that aren't EVE Online 
I played for 7 hours straight  If I didn't have to work today I would still be playing it! Its fun, its addictive, its frustrating, its a sandbox. I have an aqueduct, some fields of grain, and a huge freaking hole in the ground!
