    ok so yesterday it was showing at twenty bucks but i just looked today and it is now showing at $5 so looks like they fix'd the issue. Hopefully its showing at the lower price for everyone.

    Why can I not purchase Minecraft: Xbox One Edition for $5?

    ^^ Where is this link? Anyway that is good news.. lol

    I own three xbox consoles and have it downloaded on multiple consoles, not all with the same GT, what is your point? I know I purchased it, they knew AFTER 5 minutes of looking through my files, first they tried telling me that I didn't own it, Xbox Support...

    ^^ I'm trying to find a link, but the expiration date of the upgrade deal is one year after release. So, September 5th, 2015.

    Also, the 24-48 hours is for those people who are just playing Minecraft on the 360 for the first time, and immediately tried to get the $4.99 deal. There have been a few that have posted here about that, once they waited a day or two, the deal showed up.

    Lastly, how do you own "multiple digital copies"??? You have one gamertag that purchased Minecraft, how hard could it have been to merely look through your billing history for Minecraft?!

    Why can I not purchase Minecraft: Xbox One Edition for $5?

    I'm on the phone with Xbox Support as I type this and the representative was trying to tell me that the promotion ended. After politely stating otherwise and providing the link to show the FAQ about the upgrade and stating there was no stated end date. Instead
    of crediting my account the difference so I only have to pay $5, they're escalating Mthe issue to management as it is a "known issue" and now I have to wait God knows how long for it to be "fixed" just o get Minecraft. If I wasn't so frugal, I would just go
    to Gamestop and get a disc copy for full price at $19.99 because all this hassle and wait just to get Minecraft for $5 really doesn't seem worth it.
