Xbox One owners who don't want the digital download - your wait is over: Minecraft is almost ready for retail shelves.
The physical disc will be available for $19.99 in stores starting November 18th, and just like with the downloadable copy, you can transfer your Xbox 360 data over to the current-gen console.
Says Microsoft: "Minecraft fans can easily transfer their Xbox 360 creations and most of their downloadable content to the Xbox One Edition and play in up to 36 times larger worlds. And, with the widest range of downloadable content on console, players will never run out of new worlds to explore with four player split-screen on one console or up to eight players over Xbox Live. It's Minecraft any way you please this holiday-- whether buying the disc, downloading directly onto your Xbox One, or grabbing a digital download code or gift card from participating retailers. And to all you veteran Minecrafters who've already been playing Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, don't forget you can digitally upgrade for $4.99."
