    Good deal, both versions are worth having even though they kinda look identical.

    • Philthy Phill on 07/08/2019 - 15:49

      Something to note is that the Mincraft Windows 10 edition has much lower system requirements than the java version, so better if you're running it on a low powered laptop

      • AustriaBargain on 07/08/2019 - 20:47

        And windows 10 version is required for cross multiplayer with the iOS and Xbox version.

  • Bubble Tea on 07/08/2019 - 08:04

    Standard price, it used to be $25. Has been $35 for well over a few years with W10 edition included as well (It already comes free for all Java users)

    • AustriaBargain on 07/08/2019 - 08:08

      I just paid $40 on the Windows store for the Windows 10 version alone.

        • Larrytheretard on 07/08/2019 - 13:53

          If you haven’t played it for longer than 2 hours and you bought it in the las 14 days I think

    • Larrytheretard on 07/08/2019 - 09:37

      It is more expensive now, but they stopped giving free windows 10 for people that bought java since like October or November

    I wonder how many people has bought minecraft because of pewdiepie, they should pay him a commission

      Works both ways. How many people watched PewDiePie because he played MineCraft? He should pay them a commission.

  • heal on 07/08/2019 - 08:48

    I have Windows 7. I got an email recently that support for Windows 7 will end on the 14th January 2020. When I upgrade, do I need to buy the Windows 10 edition? Also, will I need to buy a copy for each login? (I have 3 boys who have their own login details… I think I had bought 3 copies of Minecraft)

    • dlovep on 07/08/2019 - 09:00

      hmm… sounds weird, so if you upgrade to windows 10, do you need to buy Office 20xx again? as long as it can run(compatible mode) it should be fine.

      • heal on 07/08/2019 - 09:05

        You buy Office and it works with whatever version of Windows you have. It's weird that they are selling a Windows 10 version. I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to make people buy it again when they upgrade to Windows 10.

        • TheContact on 07/08/2019 - 09:29

          The Windows 10 version is basically another game. It's based on the Bedrock base that is used across mobile and consoles, except Playstation. If you want mods, stick with Java, which works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Windows 10 version runs more efficiently and lighter.

          • heal on 07/08/2019 - 09:37

            @TheContact: Cheers, thanks for clearing that up.

              @heal: Minecraft for Windows 10 supports multiple accounts play in one License, I can play on different accounts if I buy it once.

    • endlesstrail on 07/08/2019 - 09:12

      I believe it is the Windows 7 operating system itself that will not be support past 14th Jan 2020. If you're running Win7 on your machine, you'll most likely be using the Java version of Minecraft. The Java version will work on Win10 and a almost any other OS.

      You just need to decide if you want to continue using Win7 OS even though it's unsupported, or upgrade to Win10 OS.

      • heal on 07/08/2019 - 09:16

        Thanks. I'll definitely be looking for a decent price on a copy of Win 10. Might be a good time to upgrade the PC and get an OEM Win 10.

        • CorruptInterface on 07/08/2019 - 09:42

          Might still be possible to upgrade to Windows 10 for free if you already have a licensed Windows 7, I only did this recently.

  • nuttapillar on 07/08/2019 - 08:53

    wtf? It used to be like 20 bucks. The price has gone up by a lot, this isn't a bargain at all.

    • Larrytheretard on 07/08/2019 - 09:54

      It used to be $25 but the price increase in 2016
      This also includes windows 10 that cost $40 ($40 which includes the starter pack and the bonus for java is the base game only the base game)

  • kekw on 07/08/2019 - 08:58

    • clint-008 on 07/08/2019 - 20:00

      Paid in euros during alpha €9.95 about $15 back in 2010.

  • SickDmith on 07/08/2019 - 10:51

    Wait…
    Please do not confuse me…
    THIS purchase from JB HiFi will give me both Java and Win10 editions.
    The deal is “free” Win10 version.
    Correct?

    • Larrytheretard on 07/08/2019 - 13:50

      You need to buy Java edition to recieve the Windows 10 edition, I changed the description so it is clearer

  • wippy on 07/08/2019 - 10:59

    Is the Win10 version cross play with xbox one?

    • Larrytheretard on 07/08/2019 - 13:48

      It’s is Cross Play with Xbox one, Mobile and Switch

  • cooperdog on 07/08/2019 - 16:26

    Any cheap Xbox One versions?

    Also read if I get a used Xbox One disk version this doesn't actually include the latest updates, anyone confirm?

  • [Deactivated] on 07/08/2019 - 16:33

    I bought this when it was still in alpha after hearing about it on ABC Good Game

  • Zelda on 07/08/2019 - 16:47

    Since I'm using Windows 10, is it possible for me to redeem the Windows 10 version and then give the Java version to a friend?
    Or do I need to redeem Java in order to get Windows 10 version?

    • Larrytheretard on 07/08/2019 - 22:23

      You need to redeem java to get windows 10

  • SickDmith on 08/08/2019 - 22:01

    Bought it.
    Redeemed Java version.
    But now I can't find how to redeem Windows 10 version. :(

      Anyone else managed to get Win 10 edition?
      It didn't work for me.

      • Larrytheretard on 08/08/2019 - 22:23

        Are you on Mojang Website

        • Larrytheretard on 08/08/2019 - 22:24

          On the mojang website log in (accounts.mojang.com)
          Then there will be a sub heading called Windows 10

  • Zelda on 11/08/2019 - 10:07

    Omg the link's gone.. I can still find this in physical stores right??

    • JayManic on 11/08/2019 - 18:53

      Yes, I bought one today, haven’t installed and activated it yet. I also noticed Big W had some. It stated on the back the Windows 10 edition was included with the activation of the Java Edition, but the Big W version had the activation code printed on the back of the card covered by a scratch off seal. Where the JB one was a print out code on the receipt upon purchase.

  • Homer Sexual on 25/08/2019 - 01:05

    Sorry to resurrect this but when I looked at the deal 2 weeks ago it wasn't showing up on the site. It does now and I was wondering if I bought it would I still get both editions?

  • jaydee4 on 04/09/2019 - 15:42

    Purchased 4 September from JB, got the key for the java version in my email and redeemed the windows 10 version via Mojang website.

    Thanks!

  • skyva on 13/09/2019 - 19:52

    looks expired. I was just going to buy and it is not there anymore.
