When 4J said they'd enable custom skins in the Xbox360 version of Minecraft, I was expecting actual customization. Instead, we're probably going to have to buy packs of skins that will expand the possibilities for different skins. That's not customization. That's choosing from a bunch of pre-made skins that you had to buy. I am not buying skins when I have the PC version and can make whatever I dang please. The ironic thing is that someone somewhere is going to make exact replications of the so-called "custom skins" for the PC version. I would download them just to spite the one who thought he could sell me something I could get for free! Yes, I am angry. No, I am not impressed.
Dude, I'm still waiting on the "cross-functionality" that was promised back in E3. At least you have a functioning "thing" - no one will even mention what the hell the cross-functionality was supposed to be.

Your thread title is both wrong and misleading. Just because you expected actual customization doesn't mean that's what 4J promised. Yes you will have to pay for custom (meaning different than the original) skins, this is old news as there has been about 100 topics on it in the last week or so.
If you have the PC version and want free skins why not play the PC version? I have both and I understood when MCXB360 was announced that it was never going to be the same as the PC. If I want to use something available for the PC only... I play on the PC, if I want to play with my XBL friends, I play on Xbox, quite simple really.
You are getting custom skins. That is exactly what the DLC is. Just because you can make them doesn't mean the skins aren't custom. They are custom made by 4J. Don't gt pissed because you assumed wrong.
Assumption is the mother of all **** ups. Just saying.

Well, you're angry. And?
If 4J promised customizable skins, then they change their mind, what are you going to do? There was no binding legal agreement from 4J .
If they will start selling skins and you do not want to buy, then do not buy.
I mean, there is the PC version of Minecraft, which is a little more expensive than xbox 360 version anyway.
Don't see what you want to achieve with this post.

another rant in the forums when the company doesnt care and doesnt change it like always so its pointless to make a thread like this. the update is soon so why bother trying to get something else to change in it?

So what's the problem?
4J has said a lot of things.
Show us the link where they said that they would "enable custom skins". I'm interested to see what they actually said compared to what you think they said.

"Custom" would mean made for a particular player not distributed to the whole community.

Then it sucks to be all the whiny little people who want otherwise. We are getting cutsom made skins from 4J. They are custom made for the Xbox 360 community, not individuals.
I have realized one thing over the years. I don't think I could be a developer for video games. People are so needy, selfish, and greedy that it would make me quit. If I were 4J, I would just stop all together. People whining about how long the updates are taking. People whining about skins, map size, version, lack of this and that. I would tell everyone to **** off and just stop development on Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition.

I actually have no idea why Mojang hasn't already done what you suggest......
I used to be a computer programmer before I left my cubicle to walk in the world of sunlight. Trust me, programmers don't venture anywhere near the forums for the stuff they work on unless they are made to do so.

No, you are not impressed... Your funny.
I want self customization too. But these rants are tiresome, the header misleading.
I say lock ever tantrum poster's player skin flat blue for a month.
Or baby skins...

Good luck, but don't raise your expectations.....
