Hi Nate,
First off, WoM is just a fan community, and this question might be better suited for the official Minecraft board located over at www.minecraftforum.net
Second, seeing as Minecraft is an indy game being developed by a single programmer, I find it very unlikely that the game will hit retailer shelves any time soon, if ever.
Sorry, partner.
i will have to wait years ..untill i can play it ...*end of the world*
my parents dont trust the internet....they r afraid to give out credit card number
so i just have to wait untill the game comes out ....*makes sad face*
i guess i can play the free version ...but its not the same .....
i will try that
the game will never come out in stores, it's an indie game...the only way to buy it is online.
This is what I do but it depends where you live -- There are things called Prepaid credit cards which work. You just pay money + $5 for them to activate it and you can buy the game. I get mine from gas stations, the cheapest ones are about $15 I think.
if you live in the uk you can get a debit card with some banks. I have just turned 16 but I have had one since I was 14. i believe its the same in the us.
You've probably had your question answered, but the developer said that it will only be released via the internet. What I would suggest like one person said is to get a pre-paid credit card. That should work well.

I can't fully answer your question, I don't know when the Beta is coming out, but what you could do is make your parents or someone else you know with a credit card buy the game online (the Alpha), and pay them back. As for having Minecraft in stores, we'll have to wait, I guess ....
