What is the price of Minecraft?

I might buy Minecraft on PC but my friend says he got it at roughly the same price as Pocket Edition. For me, PE costs about P250 but is the PC edition the same case?

I'm asking about the latest edition (1.7.2). And one last detail: do you pay only once or every update?

Your minecraft will cost £15 and that will include all updates it is not worth the same price as the pocket edition i don't know what your friend is talking about

The price of the PC version of Minecraft is $26.95 USD. This is a one-time payment. You do not have to renew.

During Minecraft's beta, the price was about half. Your friend probably got the game at this point.
