“while we are working on updating the game version in the short term, we will be looking at specific Xbox content term.”

  

4J have recently been showcasing their exclusive Xbox 360 additions, including the ability “to take screenshots of your Minecraft levels, and share on Facebook.” Paddy Burns continued by declaring that “We would love to see a community growing around the Xbox version of the game.” Forums have been established for the Xbox version of Minecraft promising that 4J Studios “will be following and interacting with these as we continue the development.” NowGamer also revealed plenty of new screenshots which can be found at the following link.

With the release set for May 9th, an Official trailer has been released which you can view below.
