YOU GOT NEW PLAYER SKINS FOR THE MINECRAFT XBOX 360 EDITION!<\/p>\n<p>The incoming Skin Pack 1 will add &#8211; <em>you guessed it!<\/em> &#8211; more than 40 new skins to the game, including a Creeper, a Trials HD biker, a Halo Covenant Grunt, King, and &#8216;Splosion Man. Shhhh, don&#8217;t tell &#8216;Splosion Man he just looks like a naked dude.<\/p>\n<p>No pricetag has been confirmed yet, although according to playXBLA the DLC will come in a demo version so you can try out the skins before paying for them. That&#8230; that really doesn&#8217;t sound very hygienic.<\/p>\n<p>The DLC is scheduled to drop alongside the Minecraft 1.7.3 update, due out sometime within the next week or so. The update includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added pistons.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed clay generation.<\/li>\n<li>Flint and Steel or redstone is now required to trigger TNT.<\/li>\n<li>Fences can be stacked.<\/li>\n<li>Added Shears.<\/li>\n<li>Redstone wire now will connect to a repeater.<\/li>\n<li>Shears can be used to pick up leaf blocks.<\/li>\n<li>Shears can be used to shear sheep without hurting them<\/li>\n<li>Sheep no longer drop wool from being punched, only from being killed when they are unsheared.<\/li>\n<li>New textures for Cobblestone and Brick blocks.<\/li>\n<li>Silverfish skin was added (for Beta 1.8).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/playxbla.com\/get-the-skinny-on-steves-new-look-minecraft-xbox-360-edition-1-7-3-title-update-details\/\"
