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.

First time I played Minecraft I thought it was garbage now it is one of my favorite games.


Same for me, now when someone says lets play Im all over it

ShadowBoltDashie Not surprised it has reached this. Minecraft is a good game and I believe it did very good when it first came out on the Xbox 360, so this was a given it would reach this.


Im surprised it isnt more than that

Sanctorum Surely I'm not the only one who thinks the console version of the game is nowhere near as good or as fun as the PC version? I'm happy they've surpassed 10 million sales but a 50% discount in skin packs isn't really that good? Surely, they could offer a few free packs and 50% decrease on ALL other skin packs?


I like the PC version better because all the mods, free skins, unlimited world. But I prefer the console version for less lag


I have to agree with what you said there, but the Xbox version, more of my friends play it, and its easier to interact with people.


I use the Xbox version if I want to play with friends were as PC is for mods and pixel art in creative mode. I have done pixel art on the Xbox but at the time I was doing that, the height limit was rather small so I stopped.
