Minecraft tops 10 million on Xbox 360, celebrates with half-off DLC

4.8
No stranger to huge sales numbers, the people behind the Xbox 360 iteration of Minecraft have reacted to word that the game has sold more than ten million units in the best way possible: massive discounts for the game's dedicated fans.

Come Saturday, December 14, nearly every skin and texture pack DLC addition for Minecraft Xbox 360 will be reduced in price by 50 percent. We say "nearly" because while all of the standard packs will be discounted, those special mash-up packs merging Minecraft with content from another game - Skyrim, for instance - will not see a drop in price.

No reason is offered for this exclusion, though it's less likely a shadowy games industry conspiracy than simple common licensing issues preventing these packs from appearing in the discounted slate.

Honk Minecraft has and will always be one of my favorite games.


I've packed away my 360 to make room for my new consoles, but i already miss this game.

It's almost like my 'safety blanket' it was always there if i fancied a game to lose some time or when i got fed up with shooting stuff.

I would start a new game, just to survive the first few nights and build a home, it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it doesn't do much wrong either.

ImgBurn hope they make this game for the Xbox one


Meh. There is a possibility but I doubt it at this current time. If they do they will most likely make it for PS4 as well.
