Have u ever looked at the stats page, if the numbers he put up were accurate he was pretty much bringing in a few thousand a day in sales

It's just a personal feeling is all.

Better buy some accounts for xmas gifts.

What would be the best way to do that? I was planning to buy it using my email and then giving the username & password and letting them change the email account.

I thought Notch was going to have a official way of gifting memberships to people before christmas?

Edit:
"Soon, you will be able to buy gift codes for Minecraft, perfectly timed for the holidays! Even better, if you buy those before December 20, accounts created from these codes will count as alpha accounts, and will receive all future updates for free."

Yeah so real soon you should be able to buy a code and then give it to someone and they can redeem it. Hopefully that happens before the 20th so they can get alpha status.

Oh, well that sound like a much better method.

Provided it gets implemented before the 19th.
