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.

Mash-Up packs are so expensive, I think maybe if they dropped like 10% even they would sell some more.

Congrats for the 10 mil

50% GREAT!

Mash-ups are pretty exspensive so maybe like 20% off would be nice :)

First off congrats to them for selling $10 Mil!

Awesome to see 50 percent off, might save myself a few dollars and buy all the texture packs now while they are only 50 cents! :P

Sad to see the more expensive texture packs (Mash ups) aren't dropping :(
Oh well, they are still relatively cheap.
