Updates aren't as easy as just uploading them. You have to send them in for review. This can take a Couple of weeks.
Also there is a bug fix update that will be available by mid month.

Neko I'm very happy to see Minecraft has sold so many Xbox 360 editions of the game, because a lot of people couldn't buy it on the PC... required specs to run the game...


I agree with this 100%. My old PC couldn't handle it, so buying it on the Xbox was the best thing since sliced bread. Now, I got a new computer and I can play both versions. I do play the PC version alot more though. XD

They may not have had paypal, the required specs to run the game, or their parents didn't want to purchase something online with their credit cards. With the 360 edition they've opened the game to so many more.

They didnt lose any money from refunds since they didnt refund the money. They refunded the MS points.
