Don't play on a console. Buy a cheap machine with one of those cost effective pentium processors, install linux and steam, and get a controller than will work. Hf.
It's not hard. Just reinstall it the same way you install the technical preview of 10. You'll have to reinstall programs and such if you didn't back them up separately but it's not hard to do.
Exactly how I feel about it. I think some of the mods out there are good fun to play with friends in terms of drop in and drop out. Base Minecraft is still very boring quickly.
That's a really narrow minded approach. Not all of the art is even completed and it's still in early alpha stage. Everyone who cares about this wants the gameplay to be fantastic first, looks good second.
