I'd like to believe that for every update that comes out on the pc, 4J will eventually add it to the Xbox version but I know that to be silly. I guess what I'm asking is, is there already a planned stop for what update they will be stopping on, or will they stop when sales start to dwindle and profit demands they stop?
they never said something like that did they? cuz who does not want anvils beacons and ender chests
They sure did :/

I for one just don't care about the beacons, as i don't even know what they do, more or less want to unless it does come out... On the pc i kinda stopped on the 1.3.2 update soo i don't know much beyond those. I do know what the ender chests are kinda about which only interests me a little...
I just hope they bring forth some of the things in 1.3 like those colored planks, and sideways logs....:D

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
They will probably pick out bits and pieces from post-1.2.3 updates, based on popularity. That may or may not be true, it's just my guess. Inevitably, they will stop releasing free updates someday and switch to charged DLC. Notch stated they worked out in the contract that they would receive free patches from Microsoft. It was a pretty vague statement, so nobody knows exactly how many free patches they're allowed. However, he did say it's very rare for Microsoft to allow something like this, so I'm pretty sure they don't have unlimited freebies.
id like to know where you got this info ?? no where have i seen a for sure end to the updates
You can go on their twitter page to see older tweets about 4J's updating process, there are several interviews as well and there are some links to them from people posting older threads in this forum. You might not believe w/out any proof but they did say they were going a different way after 1.2.3. and you could always google 4J interviews,quotes,stories on Minecraft if you really need an answer(I'm just too lazy right now to find a link)
Well they update the PC version for a long time so I guess they should take that long of time. Or if they don't, they will stop at update 1.2.3 and go back to PC and ignore us until we get a bigger community than the pc.
I'm hoping for the first one though.

From an interview with 4J CTO Paddy Burns on September 5th.
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.
"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," Burns revealed. "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."
While he couldn't speak in specifics, Burns was more than happy to paint a general picture of what fans might expect. "The mods that are being done on the PC, obviously we can't just take those, but we are having a look at what people are enjoying and thinking could we do content that would pick up on the key things that people are enjoying in mods, and add them to the [console] game. At the moment that is what I would call the long-term view."
In short, Burns sees more of a competition-oriented future for the Xbox 360 Minecraft than the stock PC game offers. "Being in a living room is markedly different from being at a desk with a PC. What I'm hearing a lot of with the Xbox game is the family playing with the kids and the parents together," he said.
"We'd like to do things that could be played together in a slightly more competitive way than just building in Minecraft. If you have just a quick loop through the top mods, there are a lot of mods that are slightly more competitive that people are really enjoying. It's the element of those that I would like to pick up on and build on the Xbox."
Burns would also like to see more of a focus on bringing community features to Xbox Live. The PC version of Minecraft doesn't support video recording, though PC users armed with FRAPS and mics have done just that, uploading their efforts to YouTube and creating a massive Internet fan community built around episodic series' of play sessions, everything from 'check out this neat project' to 'who will be the last player standing with this particular mod activated.'
"It's much easier to do video capture on the PC than it is on the Xbox, so it is something we're looking at," Burns said. "I would love to be able to put videos up on YouTube directly from the Xbox. It's not quite there yet, but I know that at some point in the future it will be. So we're trying to help Microsoft to work towards that, because I would definitely like people to be able to do that in the Xbox game. I think it would be brilliant.”

They did say 1.2.3 but no way does that mean they'll never add what the PC has in later versions. No one knows what they meant by "updating their way."
Basically, they want to make the version of Minecraft more tailored to the Xbox 360.
they still didnt say for sure if they were gonna stop after 1.2.3 they said they were gonna sit down and discuss where the game should go... i say people should stop assuming what their gonna do and just wait to see what happens

They plainly said they are going to take the game in their own direction. That doesn't mean we won't be getting anything from the PC after 1.2.3, we just won't be getting updates that completely copy the PC like we are now.
We'll probably get certain little things that just improve the game like upside down slabs and stairs, newer redstone stuff, world types, etc.

They never said they were going to STOP updating after 1.2.3. Basically, they are saying that the updates after that will no longer completely mimic the PC version's updates.
If there is a planned stop, they won't be telling anyone any time soon. The game only just came out in May.

I'd like to expand on that... I wish they would stop posting questions to which no factual answer is possible.
