The PC version is getting another boss mob called the Wither in 1.4.
I believe what the OP is trying to say is that we're going slower than the PC. Not that it matters because 4J basically said this week, after 1.2.3, they're going their own way with the game so we may never even get the Wither.
Thanks!!! That makes sense. Op did not. IMO, Xbox has yet to get the End so, This seems like a useless topic to begin with. Kinda like all the other update speculation.....
I'm pretty sure MSFT have only agreed to updates until 1.2.3, it'll be pay DLC or nothing after that. The updates are not going to continue for ever, XBLA Minecraft will never reach parity with the PC version imo. MSFT do not want us getting stuff for free, they only allowed a certain number of updates to secure exclusivity. Once we've had the agreed updates to reach the agreed version, that'll be it.
Let's hope the next gen consoles will get a version of Minecraft more on par with the PC version.
Are you kidding me! The company has billions and they won't allow us to get more updates of a game that like 5 million bought for the Xbox. What world do we live in...

Yeah I'm serious, MSFT don't do free content updates, look at poor old Team Fortress, it's miles behind even the PS3 version. The deal with Mojang and 4J was for a specific amount of updates to take MC to a specific version. After that who knows what'll happen, but with MSFT's policies regarding content and updates there will in all probability be no more. The deal is to get us to 1.2.3, no further.
Well at least get us trip wires and some stuff from 1.3 (Which will not happen. I don't even know if I want Minecraft (I can't believe I said tha, Since I'm a big fanboy). I hope these updates are worth it.

I am noticing that people are saying that MSFT updates aren't free. That's not true. The game updates for every other game I have played were all free. Things such as the skin packs and icon packs are what people have to pay for.....

You should probably provide a source for your information.
4J will continue updating the game after 1.2.3, it just won't be following the PC after that.
"Currently what we're doing is obviously the 1.8.2 update [from the PC beta period] followed by the 1.2.3 update [from the final release version]. After that point, we're sitting down with Mojang and taking a look at where things are going and where things should be going next with it. Notch is also quite keen that we add in specific content for the Xbox which will not be on the PC, so we need to discuss that as well once we're at that point." - 4J CTO Paddy Burns
"Ultimately, the 4J team's biggest goal is to catch up to the PC version of Minecraft...and then break away in an entirely different direction. The final release version of the PC game is the ideal, but future content beyond that is more a matter of delivering experiences that suit the platform. The Xbox 360 may not be able to go bigger than the PC, but that doesn't mean it's always going to exist as a "lesser" product by comparison, or even that it does right now."
The updates are free. How can they not be worth it. 4J studios are working really hard to release these. Wish everybody would quit complaining and just play the game.
I actually mean that we soon will have to pay for the updates after 1.2.3, Did you read anything anybody else been saying.

^^^^ YES!!!! Updates ARE NOT something to be charged for. Now extra content DLC/ Map Packs/Mods/ Texture packs... Whatever That's another story. Still this is all Speculation on a possibility about decisions not yet made on updates not yet being worked on..... Maybe we get a 2nd boss maybe we wont. No reason to go any further.
To my knowledge I have never had to pay for an update and I think 4J is already making decent money off of the skins or whatever so hopefully that will be the case in the future. If its not then everyone who plays will just have to make a choice. I still think this is better than COD map packs. Just saying.
I guess I'm overreacting and believing anything right now.
No offense to xYOSSARIANx, but don't listen to him.
He's partially right, but everything else he's saying is wrong. We are only getting up to 1.2.3 fom the PC, but after that, the game will continue to be updated. However, 4J and Mojang are going to decide how to update the Xbox 360 Edition with different things than the PC has, like possibly adding something like Capture the Flag.
They're even thinking about adding the ability to record videos in-game and upload them to YouTube.

The End and the Enderdragon will be coming in 1.2.3 for us.

What exactly sounds fun?
