Mojang was forced to hand out refunds to customers with standard definition television sets who purchased the Xbox 360 edition as it was not clearly indicated that multiplayer mode is incompatible with the technology.
Minecraft - Pocket Edition is available for iOS and Android devices through the App Store and Google Play respectively.
Minecraft: Xbox 360 edition holds the record for most first-day sales on Xbox Live Arcade.

With all that money made from the game they should hire more people to fix all the bugs and finish it off especially the multi player side to it which is laughable. I for one bought the game for the multi player aspect only to be crushingly disappointed and wish they would get it sorted out pretty please with a cherry on top.
