As the xbox 360 release of Minecraft strives to keep up with what is already offered to players who have the PC version, custom skins are now a reality on the console. The first batch of skins to be released on the consoles in the near future is supposed to coincide with the 1.7.3 system update to the Minecraft game, and with it comes 40 custom skins to choose from.
These bundle of skin contains some well-known fan favorites, such as the grunt from halo, Splosion man (perfect for those of you who can’t look at a creation without wanting to tnt it to oblivion), and a slew of others.
Yes, you can parade around in the skin of a creeper hissing at people through the mic in an effort to make them panic….and Yes, it is just as fun sneaking up on people in a creeper skin as it was on the PC.
The skins bundle went to the Microsoft testing group yesterday, and this tends to be something approaching a 10-12 day waiting period before the content reaches the hands of the gamers.
And one thing of special note in the below screenshot, bottom left hand corner…I spy with my little eye a piston…
