Well you can't because it's cross buy, so Vita = PS4 (edit: Nope, should've read every post on the last page). Also I can cofirm it works in Germany.

I think it's been fixed, you filthy thieves!
So I got the PS3 and Vita versions free today, but when I download the PS4 version it thinks it's a demo, despite saying it's the full game in the store? When I hit "Unlock Full Game" it takes me to the same store page which says Installed. (and there doesn't appear to even be a demo on the EU store?)

Congrats, you've unlocked Halflife 3.

Just a hunch, try restoring your licences then start it back up.
I read it only worked with the PS3 and Vita versions. It would still show up as free for the PS4 but it would still only download the demo.

If I don't plan to play this outside of home, would it be best to get the PS4 version and just do remote play?
Nope.
Thanks guys, I was confused by the demo being labeled as the full game
Yep..
Yep. Bigger world too.

I had jury duty today and played this the whole time. Works really well on the Vita. I'm using the touch screen for item selecting a lot more than I thought I would. While there is definitely some hitching going on it seems to just be as the world draws in and not really a framerate thing. I think it runs really well actually.

Ahhh so the PS4 version is cheaper for those that have the PS3 and Vita versions.
I must have messed this up along the way somewhere:
I can't select the PS3 version of the game on the web store any more because it says I "Already own the Vita version."
When I load up the Vita version it clearly says "Trial" and "Unlock Full Game" on the main menu - but it says that it's eligible to unlock trophies?
Edit
Nope - this is the trial - I've messed up somewhere.

You didn't mess up, the glitch has been "fixed" hours ago by making the PS3 version unavailable.

Was on offer on the EU store last night lol Grabbed PS3/4 and Vita versions for free.
Damn - I added all the stuff to my cart about 10 hours ago before I went to bed. Damn you Sony ninjas!
Get Driveclub working
Yeah, I got the game this way too.
I've never played Minecraft and I wasn't going to buy it for 18. But for free... I guess I'll see what is that thing. Half the kids I take care of in my scout group talk non-stop about Minecraft. Now I won't feel old anymore lol.

The PS4 version wasn't part of the glitch, but by getting the Vita/PS3 versions for free, you are then able to get the PS4 version for only £3.69.
Same here, except replace scout group with little cousin haha.
I've played it a few times with him telling me what to do, but lets see if it clicks for me on my own.

Yeah, I've just started the tutorial so far. It's night right now, and I'm supposed to stay at home so zombies don't kick my ass. But I've gone outside and there are no zombie!!!

This is my first Minecraft... any tips?
I thought for sure I used the touch screen on the inventory menu ant item bar once.

I'm new to the game as well, but found this video quite useful - it is a PC based guide but the main points he goes over will help:

Just you wait! I've been suprised by them without even noticing it before. Also, leave the tutorial! I did that first too, and after dying a few times I had to remember I was just in the tutorial, with everything laid out in font of you. I started a new game, and you start with n-o-t-h-i-n-g. I've made pretty decent progress so far. Leaving the safety of having everything mostly done in the tutorial is a big change..
I'm a MC n00b also, and am doing somewhat ok I feel. I'd say to not be too connected to your first world, and jst go nuts with crafting and things, knowing what works and what doesn't. Also getting a good place to stay at night time is a plus. Once I got the general basics down, I've been doing nothing but building a house...it's taking me forever, but it's great practice. At night, I either sleep or mine below the house in my expanding caverns. Just lose yourself in it! Time just FLIES by when you play I've noticed..
For you Minecraft noobs, just do what I did, explore. 
I originally built a little dirt house next to few caves and eventually explored the little area before expanding. You will get hang of everything soon enough. I'd get supplies, see what I could build, get more stuff, upgrade my house, start making rail tracks everywhere etc.

From what I've seen yes. Check the official Sony pstv compatibility list.

I need to start karting it around! I am too obsessed with building my house though. Soon, I will be done, and then I can actually start playing the game!For you Minecraft noobs, just do what I did, explore.

Man, I really need to sink my teeth into this bad boy.
It's so damn addicting! I've easily spent like 200 hours into the game since it launched on PS4.
I have rail system going everywhere! From just underground beneath my house, to a sky rail over the jungle to under water!

Rails are so costly in terms of iron to make though D:
Fixed the bit about the touch screen controls. There's no setting or mention of it in the controls menu whatsoever, which is what confused me.

Yeah I got it for free on a fake EU account. I live in the US. Sadly, the Vita requires going to hell and back to just switch PSN accounts so im probably never even going to use my free copy.

I just got stuck in a cave system for ages and have now made it back to my little hut with 68 iron ore. I was ready to start my new life inside a cave there for a while, though.

no actual suicide control input, it's times like that when a lava bucket can come in handy. obvs stash away any stuff you might want to come back to out of harms way or else the ensuing lava flow will burn it.
Fuck.
I'm now stuck halfway down a huge bottomless hole and the game is spasmodically skipping all over but without actually letting me fall to my death. Joy. I'm amazed there's no suicide button.
I've got one with me but it's no use as I can't move any closer to the wall. Pretty sure the game has just flat out crashed at this point. There's nothing above or below me to pick at.
Edit: Sorted it by quitting and rejoining (missus is hosting the game). It respawned me somewhere totally different.

I may or may not have jumped into the well at a village near my place in minecraft right when I started the game.
No pickaxe or shovel or anything
Had to break a stone while controlling how the character bobbed in the water just so I didn't drown

You can just let it sit there for a while. You will eventually starve to death.
