Minecraft 360 DLC Includes 40 Character Skins

The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft is going to need a few more updates before it offers content that falls in line with the PC version of the game, but a newly announced DLC pack is geared toward allowing players to customize their experience. You'll get 40 new character skins, including familiar faces pulled from the world of video games, like 'Splosion Man and a Covenant Grunt.

The download pack ought to be arriving alongside the game's upcoming title update, bringing it up to v1.73, sometime in the coming days. There will also apparently be a trial version of the DLC, offering up an assortment of skins for free and letting you browse through the rest. I suppose this is the part where I'm supposed to point out that character skins are free for the PC version of the game... but yeah, whatever. It's Minecraft on your console. Skins! Woo!
