Despite that Minecraft is almost a decade old, it's still being played, updated, and sold at an astonishing rate. Microsoft recently announced two new editions of the incredible popular game - one aimed at experienced builders and another aimed at amatuer players.
Xbox Wire recently posted an introduction for the "Minecraft Starter Collection" and the "Minecraft Master Collection" - which you can read below. It details the varying content that comes bundled with each version of the game. As you'd assume, the Master version comes with more content (such as Texture Packs) and in-game currency "Minecoins".

Minecraft Starter Collection ($29.99) – Kick off your Minecraft adventures with 700 Minecoins, which you can use to get new content from the game´s marketplace, and an amazing selection of mashups, texture packs, skins packs and other content, all with the base game. The perfect package for those wanting to dabble in the world of Minecraft for the first time or just your first time experiencing it on Xbox.

On top of this announcement, Microsoft reaffirmed that they will be producing a special bundle which includes an Xbox One S and two-controllers. The white console itself will have a capacity of 1TB. Unfortunately, it seems that the inclusion of a second controller has negated the inclusion of a game.
