Minecraft PS3 Edition listed for retail release

Boxart and all, with a perhaps surprising 3rd October 2014 release date (UK). Appears to be published by Mojang, so does that make it their first retail game? [Scrap that, SCEE logo on the case!]

October seems weird, it needs a retail release though due to it's popularity with kids and Parents being more willing to buy a game at a store than register their CC details on their kids console.

The weirdest thing is that as a just-before-summer release last year, it was number one or two in the charts for months on end (on 360 obviously).
 
Sony Publishing?


So both MS and Sony are publishing releases of the same game? Sure! I guess its better then Mojang teaming up with a 3rd party pub for retail.

Why an October release? Does Microsoft have a 1-year exclusivity deal on the retail release as well?
