    Minecraft Xbox One Edition: Not offering $4.99 deal

    ^^Microsoft doesn't own MOJANG (yet)....complain to them?? It is their pricing structure and their rules.

    Minecraft Xbox One Edition: Not offering $4.99 deal

    I brought the game a month after it came out on Xbox 360 paid for the digital version off XBL marketplace. Got the Xbox 1 version Friday afternoon September 5 it had $24.95 crossed out and $7.45 NZ currency I would of been happy to pay $50 but since Mojang/4J
    has millions of peps who play the game, they don't need to charge so much. I'd get in touch with Xbox Support. Although Mojang/4J make the game, Microsoft authorizes it on Xbox since M manages Xbox. Don't go for this

    "licence transfer" stuff I mean who does that?! YOU and your profile have to have paid for the full version of the 360 version and if you got it digitally you should have no problems although if you have the disc version you should still get the discount.
    None of my friends who have the 360 version have had problems getting the discounted version.

    You need to buy it with the account that bought the 360 version

    You need to own your own copy disc or digital from Xbox 360, and be using the account which you use on the Xbox 360 system. It will then automatically list the discounted price. When I downloaded it, there was no option for me to pay the X1's full RRP for
    it, it just listed straight up the discounted price with middle line through the full RRP. Also did you get the 360 version BEFORE Friday, how long ago?

    I also bought the full digital version on 360, have played that version with Xbox live, but when logged in with the same account on my Xbox One I only get the $19.99 option. MS support said wait 24 hours and there would be a "pop up", but it has been two
    days and still no pop up. What gives?

  9. Same problem here. This is why Microsoft service is waning.

  11. Have you guys tried purchasing it from Xbox.com on your computer? I was having the same problem you're all having when trying to purchase on the Xbox One console, but on the website it let me upgrade for $4.99.

    Minecraft is no longer appearing $4.99 for me either. It used to, and the promotion was supposed to run for a year, and it still advertises it on the site for $4.99, but its full price on site and on Xbox One.
