Minecraft

Set in a block world and played from a first-person perspective, players are free to explore, kill, craft and build.

It is either played in the creative mode, with no dangers or limitations, or in the survival mode where enemies come out and can kill you and your creations.

This version of the game supports worlds (usually randomly generated) that are much larger than the previous console versions.

There is a tutorial island where the basics can be practiced and pop-ins also appear with helpful explanations.

The game supports split-screen for two or four players, and online games to up to eight.

When creating a game it is possible to make it available online, or invite only.

For both platforms there is a large amount of DLC with skin and texture packs.

Minecraft for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €11.19 loose, €9.71 complete in box, and €20.47 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Minecraft has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Minecraft, loose is €11.19 and CIB is €9.71 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Minecraft is currently worth €11.19 loose, versus €9.65 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
