all the mad people that are misdirected all their anger towards one another… COME ON, it’s MICROSOFT sticking it TO YA!!!! why i avoided all this circus. my son wants the Vita version so he is waiting for dust to settle before buying same title 5 different times. do your research instead of throwing $$$$$ at it
yes!!! tomarow lolololol
YESSSSSSS! IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG! YESSSSSSHHHHHHH!
THANKS FOR ******** US WITH NO CROSS BUY DISCOUNT FOR THE PS4 OWNERS!!!!!!!!!
1 Dia até lançar!!!
I bought the PS4 version and never owned the PS3 version. As of right now, the PS3 version is $4.99. Almost like a backwards version of the “upgrade for $4.99” from PS3 to PS4. Since I will get the Vita version if I own the PS3 version, I bought the PS3 version ASAP at that price. I suggest grabbing it before anything changes!
I was just about to post what Ziiv did. I also bought the ps4 version and noticed the ps3 version is now $4.99. I’ll buy that and then get the Vita version for nothing. No drama.
Why doesn’t Sony have midnight downloadable releases? This won’t be available until like 2pm tomorrow.
Ohhhh an extra $20??!!! omg run to the hills!!! If anyone complains about this… MAYBE, JUST MAYBE they should compare the NHL series from 14 to 15,, better yet, compare the last 4 NHL series games and try and tell me that this $20 thing for minecraft is worth complaining about… ya’ll just whiners. The NHL series games are $80 each released yearly and for the last 4 or 5 years its essentially the EXACT SAME GAME just another cover on it, but this year they took out the online multiplayer and just about every single game mode on PS4 while the PS3 version still has those BUT is EXACTLY the same as last years game… so quit your complaining… $20 ain’t a big deal.. Minecraft is worth it!
I can’t find it it came out today but I can’t find it on my ps vita play station store
Freaking stupid, you guys clearly said the 14th and well, I don’t see Minecraft anywhere on the store! You guys suck, man.
@160 and 161, it’s not going to come out 3 and 4 in the morning! Give it some time, It will come out sometime today.

does anyone know the time that minecraft comes out for psvita
At what time is it coming
If it’s not coming today f*** u
Y isn’t it out yet!
this is getting me mad it better becomeing out today
I know right! I couldn’t even sleep last night because I was so excited about it finally coming today. I checked the second I woke up, and it wasn’t there, Whats the deal here? I still have hope about it coming later today, but what if it doesn’t? They really should know what they are doing so we don’t have to be this stressed about it.
Lol sorry if that sounded mean in anyway I have just been waiting since June and I am a very impatient person so this is sort of like extreme torture.
Why is it not showing up in the vita store if it is released today?
no your kool man i looked at me vita soon as i woke up this morning i got upset cuz iv been waiting for it a while know and it hasent came outyet thy did the final testing
thats what im saying its not in the p store
Hey guys, Minecraft PS vita will be on the store around 2 pm, thats when the servers update.
i can nnnnnnnooooooooooottttttttt find iiiiiiiiittttttttttt
hey if anyone wants to add me go head minecraft yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
It’s here!!! Come on guys hurry up and download it yesssssssssssss :D
I can’t take waiting much longer. Really starting to regret buying it for the ps3 today hoping that would maybe give me the option to transfer it or something. i should have just stuck with my original pc one that actually gets the proper attention. :(
Still not on mine for the east coast.
Hey guys just think about how Minecraft PS4 Came out, it came out during Middle Of the day and they had PS Store Update So maybe we have to wait 2 More Hours Or something bcuz it seems like Minecraft PS Vita Version Is Much More Longer to release
I was so excited to play this at school today now they’re lagging on the release date they should dothe midnight release download with this why didnt they
Oh yeah! Whoever said something about the server update is a genius, that would explain everything. If it will be around 2 o’clock that’s only 40 more minutes for me?
Fingers crossed! Same time frame for me as well if it shows up at 2pm.
30 minutes until 2 for me #thecountdownhasbegun
20 mins
I see everybody ready for a count down
i have a question for you guys would i be able to get mine craft free on the vita ifi already bought it from minecraft.net
@X1dragonzoix2X Unfortunately if you are talking about buying it for the pc then the answer is no it does not transfer. I wish it did as i have it on pc, xbox and now ps3/vita(hopefully) lol
thabks i was hopeing to get it that way but i guess i will have to buy it thanks for helping me
its on the vita it just came out its released
Glad to help. I sure wish that was the case so i could have saved some money. Also Notch(Markus Persson) sold the rights to microsoft for 2.5 billion recently so i doubt we will ever see a deal like that.
have you noticed the time on you timestamp when we post a message? mine shows 2 hours behind, i think ( hopefully im wrong) when that clock says 2pm thats when they update their servers…. someone correct me if im worng
Thank god! I was so bored today waiting for that.
My time stamp shows the incorrect time for me as well but just downloaded it, :)
1 minute away from releasing (1:59) I hope it does…
Mine time stamp was 3 hours off.
Wait it’s HERE!!!??? *grabs vita* *screams*
Ok I have a problem. I accidentally made 2 PSN accounts, the one I am using now (that I created when I got my vita) and the one I always use in the PS3. I purchased Minecraft on the PS3 with my other acc, and I can’t get it on my vita because it says “buy now” and when I try to sign in as the other acc, but on my vita it says I “must use the one linked to my vita.” Help
YAAAY!! im glad that i was wrong about the wrong timestamp i can download it now
