Where do you go to buy minecraft 1.8 and how much does it cost?

I want to get the latest minecraft but I don't know where I go to get it or how much it costs.

If you went to https://minecraft.net/...ecraft.net" class='ext_link'>https://minecraft.net/...ecraft.net they have a download that gives you the Minecraft Launcher, and you'd also just pay a one time amount of $26.95 for a Premium Account. The Premium Account allows you to not only play Minecraft version 1.8 but also get updates for future versions for free.

https://minecraft.net you will buy then download installer and you can go to any version of minecraft you want when you first download its auto to go to latest update

You can go to minecraft.net or you could go to walmart or gamestop target etc and buy a minecraft card.(located in the gift card/game card section) It's 26.95
