I used to play it a lot but I eventually became bored with the game. I paid $18-19 for the game and imo, that's what it is worth. $27 is a bit high for something that is still largely incomplete and buggy.

Just bought it half a hour ago... would have bought it yesterday but the protest and all...
I paid 20 bucks. The price of stayed at 20.
Minecraft is awesome, the open ended nature of it is truly mesmerizing and I find it effortless to put hours into this game. The current $20+ price tag may seem a bit steep for a game that's buggy, poorly optimized and incomplete but that's all you'll ever have to spend on it. Performance and content is continuously being updated and you'll have free access to all advances for the life of the project.
Until the genuine XBLA Minecraft release, you might be interested in checking out one of the handful of Minecraft clones on Xbox Live Indie Games, should the idea of a console version of the game float your boat. The best of those, IMHO, is Total Miner: Forge as it feels the most like the game its directly derived from.
I am now addict... damn you for putting this thread up and reminding me to check it out... do you know how many games I had before this one on my list? Now im gonna be days behind... thanks a lot for turning me on to this fun game... you jerk...
(I would use a smiling emoticon here but I hate them. Im just gonna assume people know im being sarcastic about the jerk part)

Well i am playing again. Back on the deadmau5 server. Playing on survival mode and got a community of 5 people so far playing in our house. Pretty wild! If your ever on there let me know look for capatAindoom666!
I've been curious about this game but I originally didn't have the specs on my laptop and my wife took over my old PC which could do fine with its now upgraded 2GB video card (it's a quad core pc.) I originally had this weak netbook but upgraded a bit to a X53E ASUS Laptop which has a intel i5-2410M chip clocks as high as 3ghz per core(4) and it has the intel hd 3000 graphics and can use up to 1.7GB (of 6 GB on the system) for video. Prior intel chips were crap, this one rates in around the radeon 5450 line of dx10 video cards from like 2 years back. This thing has run Civ5 smoothly on medium settings and same with Guild Wars 2.
Any clue how this may handle minecraft?
Mine craft is a very low resource using game. You'll be perfectly fine.
