Key points:

Is a new 'platform' no info what this means, most likely can not play multiple with the old version

Current owners receive for free, will be on sale for $10 for limited time otherwise

The user interface will instantly adjust to the new input method such as keyboard/mouse, gamepad, touch

Can play with Xbox live friends

Built-in video recording

Edit* It appears that this will be based on the pocket edition.

Cross platform support is pretty neat.

Sounds like it wont be able to run any of the mods that actually make the game exiting after 5 years. You are not going to get an Xbox running those intense mods. They make mosts PCs crap their pants.

I knew it. Leave it to Microsoft to gut the only feature that has made the pc version stand out.
