The recent 1.7.3 patch for the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft not only brought new features and character skins, but also broke a few things, too. Now a patch has been issued to fix the previous patch. Those responsible have been sacked, and those responsible for sacking those who were just sacked have also been sacked. And so on….
