They should very add snapshots to minecraft xbox,but i know all of you will be saying it costes 4J studio to update it everyweek , and Microsoft only lets them update every month. But minecraft:Xbox 360 edition is on top of sells on the XBLA,soi why won't Microsoft let them?
Umm, maybe they don't have enough chimps typing to get the updates ready in a week. Mojang not only has a bigger troop of monkeys but they get the zoo patrons helping out.

This is one of the best metaphors I've seen in quite a while....
The OP's question is why won't MS let a popular game like MC update more than once a month (like the PC version does). And the answer is because unlike Mojang, MS has more than one game to worry about (and treat fairly).
If Mojang was working on a couple dozen games at once, people would be griping that 'their' game wasn't being updated as often or as fast as the other games. But he already knew that.
Man, these continuous PC/xbox comparisons are really getting boring….
Why should they? I.E. What does Microsoft have to gain by allowing Minecraft to update more frequently than once a month? Dissatisfied customers re all their other games who would no longer be able to get slots in the schedule to get there own updates out. Minecraft customers that still complain anyways? (Just read the PC forum pages to verify this one).

As thewalterd61 says above me, what they have to gain is 40,000$
And even if it takes 2-weeks instead of just one it would be alot better than a month..
The problem with constant snapshots is it takes around two week for an update to pass cert testing. For one update a month, that's half the time 4J have to make just as much game.
Besides, I like the wait for an update- makes it seem more special.

Just link your xbox account with Facebook and you can take snapshots all you want... I got an album with hundreds of photos on Facebook of Minecraft.
:facepalm:
we are talking about the "pre-updates" in which Mojang lets the community test the game before the official update comes out so in that way updates come faster and with less bugs, we are NOT talking about photos.
Anyway, if somehow 4J would be able to release snapshots how are we going to be able to change between the snapshots and the official version?? In the pc it is optional and if you dont want you dont update for the snapshot and in the xbox works different, in the xbox you require the LATEST update to be able to play so EVERYONE would have to use the snapshots they like it or not, and I am sure that that will reduce Microsoft and 4J income

Stay fluffy~

They would still be making more money than losing

It's not like they don't have other games waiting in the cue for updates paying the same fees.
Monkeys? LOL!

Actually, microsoft changed their policy for XBLA. Updates are free now.
Also, who wants to play a buggy early release?
MS has millions of games...
Same here...
If you can understand that your awesome!
