Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition Update
Minecraft for Xbox 360 has been very popular on Xbox Live Arcade and today has had a huge revamp. Update 1.7.3 is the second update sine the game was release in May this year and has quite a few new additions that bring it even closer to the PC version. That said there is still a lot to be added before then.
One huge feature now is the ability to change your charachers skins, you can choose between the 8 default skins one Minecraft Xbox 360 like Steve, Tennis Steve and so on. But the best thing is you can now download Skin Packs from Xbox Live. There is only one pack out at the moment but it holds a massive 40+ skins, from Halo’s Master Chief to the Trials Evolusion Guy and even Banjo from Banjo Kazooie. Each Skin Pack will Contain the 40+ skins for only 160 Microsoft Points…..BARGAIN
