Mine that Minecraft

General
Oh, tons of stuff to work on and time goes fast or slow....uuugggh.
ANYWAY...It's two weeks to Black Friday. Unfortunately, I doubt I can take advantage of sales given a near-non-existent budget...but through possible coupons and point values, I might be able to get at least one thing of interest that might come to a fair price if I'm lucky.
MINECRAFT!
Yep, those guys at Achievement Hunter with all this great stuff they've achieved have inspired me to try my hand at it. Now, not going for the PC version, I'm going for console versions.
Question is...which one? I don't care about online properties, as I'll be going single-player. I'm also trying to find out what's in the "initial package" as it were, when you first buy a console version. Know there are updates, but want to know what's there at the start (such as if Nether Dragon, Alchemy, and stuff like that are initially there for the port.)
AH uses XBOX...but I'm more partial to the PS3 in terms of consoles. XBOX comes from Microsoft, who makes computer products, so makes sense it was the first stop for a port. BUT, I know Microsoft has a tendency to suck on it's products. So it goes between DID they make a success port initially.
Then there's the PS3 version that came LATER. So does that mean the PS3 version, again, initially, has more to offer than the XBOX version initially did? Is it also a little better refined as far as bugs go?
So yes! I'm going to try to get a Minecraft Console Version if possible...just got to know which one to go for. Which "initial package" has more features/less bugs...what have you.
Any Minecraft player who remembers trying their version out of the first time have opinions on which one I should aim for?
============COMMISSION INFO===========
How to Pay: Paypal only, but credit card possible. Will instruct you on what address to send payment to when commission payment is to be sent.
What I Can Do:
-Clean artwork
-Parody pieces
What I Won't Do:
-Red Boarder Pieces (a.k.a "Adult")
-Sexual pieces
-Graphic pieces
-Hateful/Racial pieces
-Explicit Gore
-Nude pieces (a.k.a "private parts")
-Most "Mature" rateable pieces
To Commission Me: PM me first. Typically respond within a day or might be longer. Include details of what you want done in the commission. If there are references on-site, from commissioner or from other artists, provide them if possible. Will work with the commissioner on ideas or changes when able.
If I feel that a commission may become too difficult, that I'm unable to perform it correctly, or that I am uncomfortable with certain circumstances, I have the right to refuse a commission.
As payment is currently accepted after completion/acceptance of the finished work, there are no refunds.
Send Payment: Send payment via Paypal. Do follow directions of this handy guide: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2.....dc-d26t93b.png
If Paypal fees are included in the transaction, the commissioner, you, pays for them.
WIP: If a WIP is requested, and I am able to provide one, a watermarked image of the current outline will be provided through PM. A journal may be made that tracks the estimate, overall progress of commissions currently in slots.
Finished Work: Finished work will be shown to commissioner in a watermarked image for final approval. When approved, final payment must be made. Once payment has been sent and confirmed by me, the image will be uploaded to my gallery in Scraps. Currently, full payment will be made once the watermarked finished work is shown to the commissioner, before being submitted on-site. If commissioner refuses to pay, the work will not be uploaded and the commissioner will be reported. There are no "payment plans" for any portion of my commissions.
Rights: I retain rights to any commissioned work, including distribution, and am able to display it on another website/gallery/journal. The piece may not be reproduced or sold for profit to others. The piece can be downloaded by the commissioner for their own gallery, but be sure to give me credit for the commission and a link to the original.
If the commissioned work includes me, Azul, it may not be distributed in anyway without my permission as I am copywriteen myself (as is ALMA and the "original" stuff in the gallery if they are included in the commission).
If the commission involves a personal character (such as the commissioner's "fursona"), I will most likely not use the character unless it is commissioned again by the owner (or a friend of the owner, by permission from the actual owner if, say, it were a gift). Exceptions may be made (such as a "splash page" featuring regular commissioners as a "thank you" for the business).
For personal characters, you can resize/crop the commissioned artwork to create icons/wallpapers and such, but not alter the actual piece itself.

I use the Xbox 360 version, which started without the Ender Dragon, but was added in a later update. Since the PS3 came out much later, I'd guess it would have all that stuff, though you could try checking the Minecraft wiki, it contains update information.
Ah right two wikis...ok, yeah...says the PS3 version came out with all the up-to-date stuff at the time of release so...yeah, it may actually be the PS3 version I should go for. That's...kinda cool
I'll take a little gander at the version. Cheers
Yeah...there's a partial builder in me. Disney Infinity had it's appeal but...there wasn't enough random stuff to keep interest. But I've seen all this stuff people make with it and...it got me hooked that's for sure.
Yeah...some people can just...make the most amazing things. I mean, yeah, take Minas Tirith...unless you could walk around the whole thing's actual construction (depending on how much was "real")...imagine making that thing from clips of the films. I've done stuff like that before, but the scale of such a thing is amazing
