So if I purchase the PS3 version now, I don't get the Vita version (and I can't upgrade to the PS4 version)?
I'd like the Vita and PS4 versions, but I don't need the PS3 version. If I could buy the PS3 version, I could get the other two (with the upgrade fee for the PS4 version), and sell the PS3 version used, but I don't think that works for PS3 versions purchased after a certain date.

What? No, if you buy it whenever, you're entitled to the Vita version when it comes out. I sure as hell hope so anyway!
It's in the OP

I don't think so. I tried renting the PS3 version from Redbox just after the PS4 version came out, but I couldn't upgrade to the PS4 version, even though it worked for people who had rented it previously.

They probably worked around that since you haven't really bought it.... Though I thought it was pretty easy on conditions for the discount to work?

Oh, fucking sweet.
Nice one fella, and good job on t'OP.
She's one of those 'I'm not a gamer, though I've been playing games since the Master System' chicks. I bought her a Vita and the rest took care of itself!

No problem, felt like I should clobber one together as god knows the port won't get much promotion elsewhere...

No sorry, I should have added that to the OP.
Cross-Buy, Cross-Save, no Cross-Play. Would have been nice, but ah well.

Why are people still saying MS published or that they had any involvment at all? Is it a joke or something I'm missing? 4J developed, Sony published, simple as that

A little joke, as literally every post about the Vita port now elicits a "THANKS MICROSOFT LOL" response.
Read the OP or my post a little bit above yours.
Yes to ad-hoc
What a damn shame, could of sworn I heard it somewhere, kinda expected it tbh after Terraria getting it and running flawlessly
Oh well.
The OP only had "Play online or locally over Wi-Fi with up to 7 other friends." so that's why I asked
. Thanks for the clarification peanutbutterlatte

No problem, I edited the OP to clarify even further
My favourite things to build are treeforts... it's just so cool what you can do with this game. My inner child weeps.

I don't have too much experience with Minecraft; I've had it since the launch on 360 but have only put a couple hours into it. I feel like I may buy this tomorrow anyway, despite not playing it that much. I just nabbed a sweet deal on a Vita bundle on Saturday from Craigslist and have been buying games up in preparation for leaving the country for work on Wednesday. Even if I only play it on the flight and a couple hours here and there over the next couple months, it is probably worth that.
EDIT: Welp, never one on that one I guess. I didn't see in the OP where DD and retail have different release dates, I thought physical copies released tomorrow too. Maybe I'll order a copy from Amazon when it releases then.

It's honestly not that expensive an investment proportionate to the hours of enjoyment you could get out of it if you end up liking it!

if I could talk a coworker who just got a Vita into getting it, I could see us having some fun playing it. But I just edited my post to reflect that I won't be getting it at the moment, since I mistakenly thought that the physical copy releases tomorrow. I'm not interested in a digital download version.
Yep. I've already played the PS4 for at least 100 hours, maybe 200+! Digital is really the way to go with this game. So much fun. Once you start playing, there literally is no stopping you. The only limit is your imagination.

Seems a bit pricey for a version that looks worse than the mobile version and world size limitations. Still, a good get for Vita owners.
Never made one of those! Like an old Amazon tribe in movies or something awesome.

Does it? The mobile versions are pretty much worthless with touchscreen controls..
I did that in my second PS4 world. Essentially just a couple boxes of stone and glass attached to a tree but fun to build nonetheless. I later connected the tree boxes to my fort on the ground. I still haven't learned all the ins and outs of the materials and whatnot but building stuff is certainly fun.
Can't wait to do the same on mah Vita.

The world size is pretty much the only area where the mobile version trumps though. As I pointed out in the OP, it's still missing out on some key features.
I originally assumed this was just going to be a port of the Mobile Edition to the Vita, but seeing that it is the same as the PS3/360 version, I am definitely more excited about it.
Incredibly bad decision on Sony's end though to not try and bundle up some Vitas with this, especially with cross-buy to PS3.

Ah yeah, time zones. Or is that just a knock at the ridiculous update times for PSN? I'm excited! If only for impressions.
From the PSN Blog post;
Pretty damn generous of them if you ask me.
Naw, not quite yet, unfortunately. Sony usually updates the store fairly late in the day, don't they?

Iirc, I thought that if you had played the disc version of MC on PS3 before a certain date, then you were guaranteed a free copy for the Vita. Has that changed, to what is above - play it on PS3 and then boom, free Vita version?

Just got it for free from the PSN store (I have the PS3 digital edition on my account).
It showed up as $20 first (on the web store), but when I went back a second time, it showed up as free.
