After this next update I believe 4J should include multiple things from the most recent updates on PC. Many of these small aesthetic things would be easy to implement I believe.
This is in no way me trying to rush another update or complain that they are not coming fast enough, just a suggestion as to what may be cool to see in the XBLA Version. After all... it is the most played game on all of Xbox live now.
Here is a list of things I believe would be easy to bring forward from 1.4.2
Continuously glows and gives a selected status effect to players within 16 blocks while beaming a beacon of light directly upwards (as bright as glowstone)
Activated by building a solid pyramid of iron/gold/emerald/diamond blocks underneath and selecting an effect
The cheapest configuration requires 9 blocks, while the best configuration requires 164 blocks
Has to be directly exposed to skylight to work
Building square platforms of increasing size and the same material per layer will activate it and increase range and status effect selection
Viable materials are iron, gold, diamond and emerald blocks
Changing selected status effects costs 1 emerald, diamond, gold ingot or iron ingot
Unlockable effects, with increasing amount of required layers of blocks required:
Speed and Haste
Resistance and Jump Boost
Strength
When all 4 layers of blocks underneath are built correctly, a second status effect can be chosen
This second status effect is Regeneration or tier II of the previously chosen effect
Effects given by the Beacon will have less intrusive particles than others on the screen, such as those of potions
Easy to add when its a small list. You can't consider it a list of "easily brought forward things" when it's a huge list and you're not doing any of the work..

He means if they decided to bring anything forward, it should be some of those things, because they are easier to do than some other content.
All I would want from that entire list is the Cobblestone Walls and Item Frames. I find the rest of the stuff pretty useless and don't even use it on the PC. I would have to say that 1.4 is one of the weakest updates that has ever come to Minecraft.

I kind of agree. I wouldn't necessarily put it as a weak update, they packed loads of content into the update. However, I found most of it unfitting and not very useful. So yeah, +1 to you.
I want a lot of that stuff. Especially the ability to turn wooden logs
The Item Frames sound good and the Slimes spawning in Swamps sounds boss as well x3
Also Ive been dieing for a way to tell my dogs apart x3
Id love for some of this stuff to be brought forward, but Id rather get the 1.2.3 update sooner and get the 1.4 a bit later than wait longer for the 1.2.3 update. (Please note we may not get the 1.4 update as well ;o)
You ask for a lot haha. Not even a third of this stuff will ever probably be added. I would start worrying about the stuff from 1.3 which is actually useful like trading.

why wouldn't we get all of that? none of it is a major addition.

anyway...i want cobblestone walls so bad.
As 4J has said many times they are think of going a different direction then the Pc version after 1.2.3. Seeing as 1.4.2 came out after 1.2.3 by many months and half the stuff he mentioned isn't really necessary they probably won't bring it forward.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
That will be coming in the 1.2.3 update....lol so no worries about that.
What i would like mostly is from 1.3.2 pc version... As most from the 1.4 do not interest me. For example like someone else said the walls and frames... I actually wouldn't mind the flower pot thing, but mainly for decor. I don't understand the point of beacons even from that description... Which also means of no use to me if not just something i am not interested in...
Some of the 1.3.2 stuff I would actually like to see that probably shouldn't be too difficult to add would be the colored planks/stairs/slabs.
Beyond the basic probably sideways logs, and many of the new blocks... Trading villagers as well quite a few of the more useful stuff.
So at least a good portion of the game has a point to it in a sense... Like what is the point of a village with aimlessly roaming villagers...O_o that do nothing... Anyway that is my thoughts on this matter....

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.
Anything aesthetic would be easy enough to add.
Eg flower pots, skulls, emeralds.
I would say its the gameplay mechanics like trading, enchanting and repairing that would be difficult.
But 1.4 is such an awesome update we need all the features on Xbox.

I put my shirt on one leg at a time, just like everybody else.

You are requesting large things.
I love the things that the OP listed. It does seem they could easily be brought forward, great idea.
He means if they decided to bring anything forward, it should be some of those things, because they are easier to do than some other content.
Desert temples
bigger block placing range in creative. (It's 5 now, bump it up to like 10 or so.)
Redstone lamps
(I know these aren't from 1.4, but these should be included in an update at sometime.

mine, smelt, breeding and fishing for XP
Zombie pigman will now spawn near nether portals

add the new textures (like gravel)
add rare drops
add all silk touch features
cocoa beans on jungles
new armor system
slimes now appear in swamps
Eg flower pots, skulls, emeralds.
