RePLAY: Steam vouchers are officially on sale at GameStop, Blizzard is hiring
to make Diablo III for consoles a
reality and Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
has struck gold in sales.
Contrary to rumor, Steam
vouchers have officially gone on sale at GameStop stores today, as the retailer announced its partnership with Valve to
provide “more options to customers.”
Called “Steam Wallets,”
the voucher comes in $20 and $50 denominations, which allows consumers another
avenue to purchase Steam’s 1,800 plus titles.

Even with Diablo III launching tomorrow, director Jay
Wilson revealed to Gamasutra that Blizzard is not “experimenting” with a
console release but is advertising as such to hire “better people” in order to
increase chances to actually make one.
“That’s why we haven’t
kept it super secret,” Wilson explained, “but we also haven’t confirmed it,
because we’re not sure yet whether we think it will work, and whether we think
we have the resources to do it.”

Shortly after its
release on Xbox LIVE Arcade, Minecraft:
Xbox 360 Edition has already achieved more than one million in sales and
players have mined millions of hours into its single and multiplayer modes.
PlayXBLA has released
a slew of numbers on the amount of time spent in Mojang’s addictive title: 5.2
million hours spent mining, 4 million total multiplayer sessions played and more
than 2.4 million multiplayer gaming hours played.
And that is a lot of mining.
