I can't fully answer your

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 ....

Hi Nate,First off, World of Minecraft is

Hi Nate,
First off, World of Minecraft 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'm assuming you have a bank

I'm assuming you have a bank account
If you do, link it to a PayPal account. You don't NEED a credit card to get a PayPal, so do it. 
If you don't have a bank account, go get one!.

the game will never come out

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

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.

get a debit card

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

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.
