Can I upgrade for $5 if I have the disc version?
So it costs $5 to "upgrade" from the PS3 to the PS4, otherwise it's a flat $20 price for newcomers on the PS4. That being said, what's the best way to approach this as someone who doesn't already own MineCraft on PS3?
As far as I can tell, buying it for $20 on the PS3 and then upgrading to the PS4 for $5 is the most logical thing to do, seeing as you get all three versions (eventually, whenever the Vita edition launches) for a set price-- otherwise, you'd be spending $40 if you eventually wanted to have it on all Sony platforms and bought it on PS4 first. Barring people hoping for sales/PS+ inclusion (incredibly unlikely), it doesn't get better than this.
It just seems odd that they'd make the PS4 version stand alone with this whole deal-- it isn't compatible with the Vita version, it isn't cross-buy, saves only work one way, etc. I realize it isn't Sony's concern in that this isn't adhering to the typical cross-buy initiative, but I think there are going to be a number of angry people milling about comments sections when they realize their purchase isn't cross-buy like they're used to with titles like this.
It's probably what's causing the issue. They wanted to be able to offer that upgrade too.
Eh I probably wouldn't buy minecraft unless I was excited to build stuff. There is a ton of multiplayer-esque stuff that's crazy popular although I'm thinking about the PC elements and not sure what there is on consoles.
There is a story that you can complete with a final boss and such though
Awesome, thanks y'all.Yes, if you want an adventure. You can work your way to fighting the enderdragon and I believe next update we are getting the Wither boss. Fun fun fun.
After you beat the enderdragon though there isn't much to do besides build.
Is that tonight soon or tomorrow soon? My god!

It's because of the map size is larger on on the PS4 than the PS3 and PS Vita versions. Can't transfers files from the PS4 as a result. 4J is still trying to figure out how to increase the map size when transferring from PS3 to PS4.
To be fair they're probably hands tied by Mojang, they only port. That said, someone is frustratingly awful at communication.
They really shouldn't have teased the hell out of it like they did -- only to delay it.
Any updates?
Just that last tweet saying the bugs they found were "Show Stoppers". I guess it's delayed by how that was written.
Just hopped into this thread but could someone just clarify something for me?
I was always under the impression that if I bought Minecraft on PS3, whether it be physical or digital, that I could get the PS4 version as well for $5.
Am I now to believe I am not entitled to that because I bought a physical copy?

The fact they haven't even acknowledged or apoligized the missed August release date is insulting :/They really shouldn't have teased the hell out of it like they did -- only to delay it.
Well damn, I no doubt purchased it under that false assumption.
I could have sworn it was stated that all buyers would be eligible.
Well, that really sucks.
Was physical cheaper? Otherwise why not go digital anyways?
Not being a dick, just curious.
They said they were looking into it as a possibility, but weren't sure if it was possible and needed to figure out all the details. I don't remember when they said it. It was months ago when they announced the pricing and such.
AFAIK, they always said that retail crossbuy was a firm "maybe".
For similar reasons, anyone whos previously bought Playstation 3 Edition will be able to upgrade to Playstation 4 Edition for a small fee. This applies to everyone whos bought Minecraft digitally and transfers their PSN account to their new console. Our intention is to make this work for the disc version of Minecraft too, but its proving a bit trickier to set up. Well post more info on this as soon as possible.
I dunno why it would be difficult for them to implement it. Ubi and EA had digital upgrades at the launch of the PS4, you just had to use the PS3 disc.
