You only get the new terrain if you start a new map (or at least explore some new chunks, but I'm not sure if the whole map is pre-loaded on the Xbox version, so maybe not).
It won't overwrite your existing world with new terrain.
Worlds are not fully generated at the start. You can get the new features if you go to unexplored areas. Though with the next update and terrain generation changing, there will be a noticeable boundary from old areas to new areas.
get those diamonds soon b/c the tutorial easter eggs are all going to change.
I'm wondering, if you open the tutorial world now, collect the easter egg chest(s) but don't explore the rest of the tut world, will you get the new tutorial easter eggs if they are in the areas you don't explore? ;-)

My guess is no. I assume that the tutorial world is already pre-generated when you start it. So if you started it in 1.7.3, it will still be the same, even after the update.

I agree,.. I think. The tutorial does display a seed that if entered numerically just generates the base world without all the tutorial elements, so the tutorial world with all the Easter Eggs and such is not it's own unique seed but an application of changed terrain probably similar to how the program reads in the terrain players change in any seed (possibly an overlay to the originally generated terrain??). Whether an old tutorial would change at all when the update hits, might depend more on whether or not the developers of the tutorial themselves left any unexplored terrain on the their tutorial map.
Man, I can't wait for this update. Most excited about creative mode probably. I want to make some crazy stuff and then let my brother play it on his own. I just hope they let you switch it to survival. :/

that would be dumb if they did that there would be no need to mine just switch to creative mode make.some dimond blocks then switch back and bam you got diamonds for what ever you need

I don't care about any of that. That's not even what I said. I think it's dumb if a world is only creative. What's the point in that? You just make stuff and then you can't play the world properly. What if I wanted to make dungeons and stuff for people to run through or PvP maps (which I won't be doing but others will want to).
If you can't change from creative to survival at least, then it sucks. I never said anything about going from survival to creative.
If you can't control yourself from switching to creative to get diamonds and switching back, that's your own issue. Just because a few people can't control themselves from "cheating" doesn't mean there should be no way to play a map made in creative in survival when it's finished.

Yes, you can switch between creative and survival. You choose what mode you want to be in when you load up the world. You can't choose in-game though.

They have already said you will have the ability to switch between the two. I don't know why so many people complain about it. You can do it on the PC version also. In fact it is even easier since you can do it in-game.

Thank you. This must have been something recent as the last time I was checking on here, it wasn't confirmed yet if you could switch at all.
Tons of stuff posted today on twitter... No enchanting, no xp bar in thr next update.. and achievements and leaderboards are disabled for a world if you use creative mode and save..
Good stuff. I was kinda hoping that they might have ended up pulling enchanting forward even though they had pretty much said it wasn't going to be there. Removing the XP bar puts the nail in the coffin on that one.

Makes since to me. No point in an XP bar without enchanting to go with it.
Though this will affect many players, since I have already seen a few posts saying about XP farms and stuff.

Eh, not like they will be useless. They will just have to wait longer to use them, and people can still use them for mob drops. The one good thing about them holding enchanting off for me though, is that it will come out the same time I plan on starting a new world, so I will be able to set up an enderman farm in the End which is more efficient than most other XP farms.
