Oh come on. It's 4J Studios, not Mojang, and it's 40 Skins for 160 MSP.

Okay, I know I'm going to be called insane or I'm going to be flamed for this, but 1600 MS points for Minecraft on XBox 360, -and- custom skins being stripped in favor selling skin packs as DLC? That's ridiculous.
You can argue that you're still saving $10 on Minecraft by getting it on XBox 360 and you don't have to buy the DLC, but you are also paying for gold memberships, and Minecraft could be modded on PC easily, and custom skins were a given rather than a luxury you have to pay for. Even ignoring the fact that you have to pay to play XBox 360 games online when it should be free (yes, I went there), to strip these basic functions you can expect from the PC version in favor of slapping a price on them is the epitome of Microsoft's hubris and pricing schemes.

They're also releasing a free skin pack that has a couple of them in it. It'll also be used so they can play with those that bought the skin pack.

Ummm Mojangs answer was not providing these, Mojangs answer was withholding the feature so they could charge us.
Nice try at the old spin game though.

Actually this brings up a new topic I'm VASTLY interested in; who is the person that decides what spin to apply if any?
We all (i assume) know how it works in traditional media, and from being around long enough its observable that most times it is for sure not the author, so who?
Is it a general guideline? Case by case? Hit analysis? And by whom?
Shed some light on this and not only will I never bring it up again (as I love to) but likely back you.
Maybe just a special feature: Destructoid Values.
I really feel like this community could get far closer and far stronger if we could all get on the same page, so can we see the page maybe?

Remember that the publisher sets prices. Mojang doesn't get much say in the pricing. If developers got to set the prices on games more often, we wouldn't see so many $60 retail games. So if you have to hate someone, direct that ire to Microsoft. But at the risk of sounding cliche, don't let it blind you or you'll just be ignorant to them.
It nver ceases to amaze me how designers can manage to get so accutate with so few pixels. That Banjo looks awesome!
I have heard that they are attempting to allow custom skins down the road, but it may take alot more work due to the Xbox's architecture, not due to MS's greed.
You are fucking shitting my right? I bought this game for around 10 quid a year ago, and could shit these skins out in 5 minutes...
it's freakin 2 bucks >.>
I can find that in my backseat. Either way, it's better than the alternative of being stuck with regular Steves and they are SKINS. It's not like they are adding bigger levels and making you pay.

@Konnery I've noticed in the comments: You're a pretty nasty piece of work.
On the PC version if I want to be a certain character I just find a custom skin or make my own. It doesn't cost me anything and I can be whoever I want not just Xbox or generic characters. That's creativity and that's what Minecraft is all about: Expressing yourself and who you are. Not having to pay anything for being a character probably 1000s of other people will be.

Sweet. Release skin packs, don't work on updating the game to give us at least a creative mode. Priorities man, priorities....
It's probably not their fault, Valve fought tooth and nail to make DLC free on Xbox and updates to TF2 and Microsoft allowed them to do neither in order to keep it's innuendo of bullshit and making people use Microsoft moon money.
I just cannot believe people are willing to actually pony up for this. Truly ridiculous.
The amount these folks spend on shitty DLC over the course of a year would probably buy them a PC to play the likes of (the good version of) Minecraft in the first place.
Feel free to flame away! :)

Yeah totally Mojang.... I'm sure M$ had absoloutly nothing to do with this and are obviously the victims here....

Here's a weird idea for everyone having a problem with this: DON'T BUY IT.
Imagine how easy that is, all while showing whoever thinks this was a good idea how bad it really was.

I'm glad you know me so well, but I would agree that the comments section brings out my worst so I can concede on that a little bit. I'm generally a happy guy.
I realize Minecraft is about the creativity, but in the scope of consoles it's a lot more difficult ( I would assume) to do. Even taking something like Forge mode in Halo, and the paint job/decal editor in Forza...as well as those work...it's still takes a lot more work than just painting stuff in. If they figure out an easy way to have a custom editor on the Xbox in this version, then by all means, but I can't see that coming to fruition any time soon.
As much as it does suck, they aren't charging an arm and a leg for something you don't even really need. 40 skins for 2 dollars is a deal in the spectrum of optional costume DLC. One that instantly comes to mind is VF5 on XBLA. It costs more than the actual game for all the optional costumes.

@Konnery
It would actually be easier for the devs to make a simple program to create skins in an options screen than it is for them to make and sell the skins. Mario Paint on the SNES had a more in-depth program than they would need for this on the 360.

@Abnegation
I just don't know what goes into this kind of stuff so maybe I should assume less. Would they just need a grid set-up where you color in the blocks for different body parts? I'd imagine if it was easily implemented it would have been (as far as it showing up for other people and whatnot)

Microsoft's policy on Updates and DLC limits how much of it can be free. Also, 4J studios developed this version, not Mojang. If you're going to bother to correct someone, at least do your research.

I'd much rather pay $2 to get forty skins than get stuck playing as the tennis avatar again. White short-shorts aren't exactly my thing...
This should be linked to your Minecraft account. Like how the skins are applied in the PC version.
Of course easiness is nothing when money can be involved.

Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't everybody tell you this would happen long before the game even came out?

Essentially. They'd likely have a real-time preview like some of the fanmade ones for PC. But most of it could be contained with a simple grid for each body part. Something like Animal Crossing had, but smaller resolution.

My philosophy:
If the vanilla game has enough content and I am being reasonably charged for the DLC, I will support.
40 nice looking skins for 2 bucks is a steal in my books.
Yeah, they're free on PC, so the principal of even charging a cent is irking, but whatever. DLC is something we all have to deal with as gaming becomes more mainstream and brings in more and more idiots willing to pay 3 bucks for cheat codes.

@Abegnation
I completely forgot about the Animal Crossing editor, but that would be really cool to have something. Maybe in the future editors could be featured through Smart Glass. I imagine editing on a touch-screen would be pretty handy.

@Scuffles
Whoa, hold on. I assure you my M$ hate is second to none. I guess I should have pointed out that both companies are (now that they are people and all) horrible, greedy, ungratefull, and gratified evil bastards.
I consider the rise of both to be nothing short of nails in the almost shut coffin (these days) gaming industry.
How anyone looked at Notch and his plans and said "that guy should totally get my money and support" is 100% beyond me. Capital/consumer-ism as its absolute worst.

I truly full editor will rarely ever be seen on consoles anymore for any game (unless that's the point of the game ala LBP). It would cut away from all the skin pack/map pack sales.
I found your website perfect for my needs. It contains wonderful and helpful posts. I have read most of them and got a lot from them. To me, you are doing the great work. Carry on this. work at home In the end, I would like to thank you for making such a nice website. Or where I could also share some of my ranches for sale details for you all budy who come up here

Don't most people play Minecraft in first person view? Are these skins just to entertain your friends while mining and/or crafting with you?
