The Grunt from Halo, 'Splosion Man, and the guy from Trials HD among others are coming to Minecraft for Xbox Live Arcade.

Update 1.7.3 will allow players to choose from the 8 skins already included in the game, as opposed to being randomly assigned a skin. Along with the update, players will also be able to purchase a pack of 40 additional skins, which include the skins outlined above, along with many others.

Hm, If it was those four, I wouldn't buy it, but for 40 skins...
by The Devil Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 09:13 PM

That's a definite buy for me- but wait! I could just use these stolen credit cards! Ah, to be the Prince of Darkness; getting a credit card number at the snap of a claw is just... priceless.

purchase a pack of 40! holy hell that is sad. why can't we choose or create a FREE one like pc?

40 is a rip off people. hell the 1000 by 1000 world for $15 was a rip off.

Awesome!

40 skins? Count me in :D
by God Of Irony Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 09:19 PM

how much will it cost?
by The guy who is meh Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 09:20 PM

Really? Buying them? So greedy...
by RED5_STANDBY Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 09:24 PM

If it were just those I would pass but 40? That would make it a definite buy.

Well isn't this an old fashion kick to the ***.

Yes!

War. War never changes.

Awesome!

Trust them to start turning Minecraft into a nickel and diming machine. :/
by Companion Cube Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:02 PM

We're already at 1.7.3? It's not the PC edition...
by Zonified Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:02 PM

Selling skins as DLC is completely underhanded. It's free on PC, so why not this version, too? Next they'll be charging for new block types and pre-made buildings/weapons.
by Dawson Wyckoff Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:15 PM

Sweet thats good for them... Now if only minecraft came to PS3.
by badantjoka4k Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:15 PM

But when does it come out?
by musicalham Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:16 PM

Sad that Xbox has to pay for these kind of updates, but can you even play as the grunt from Halo on the PC version?
by Ghost Tuesday, July 03, 2012 at 10:55 PM

That is awesome
