Fable XBLA game due out tomorrow, Tom Clancy sale incoming
The next couple weeks in Xbox LIVE updates don't bring a whole lot in terms of DLC or new XBLA releases. However, come May 9, Minecraft will finally debut on the 360, and this week, it's preceded by Fable: Heroes, Lionhead's downloadable title featuring the hero dolls from the Fable games.
No notable add-ons were listed for next week, but today sees the addition of some more Forza 4 and SSX content. The Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand DLC is also marked off by 50% until the end of the week, May 7. At that point, Deals of the Week will transition over to Tom Clancy games and downloadable content.
No major demos out for the next two weeks, unfortunately.

Do you guys think MC will release an update to be able to use Xbox controllers while playing the PC version of MC? I'd kinda be interested in that.

I'm looking forward to Minecraft,hopefully it'll be as good as the PC version. I know there's not going to be player skins,texture packs,or mods at first,but they did say that they're going to try to make those possible for the 360 version.

There are already programs out that do that, not sure on exact names but I have used one before. Pretty nifty. Oh and Wolverine I can't wait to see if they can get to the aimed goal of 80 player online, that would be amazingly cool, although I doubt I would use it, just want to see it.
