The lights are on
Minecraft has put up huge numbers on PC and Xbox 360 (blasting past 10 million copies sold on Microsoft’s platform recently). Now, another group is going to get its hands on Mojang’s blocky masterpiece.
Starting tomorrow, PlayStation 3 players can download Minecraft. This new version features everything from the other console versions.
Downloadable skins and textures are coming soon, and there is hope for PlayStation-specific content. (Kratos and Nathan Drake would make great Minecraft characters, wouldn’t they?)
PlayStation 4 and Vita versions are also in the works. Mojang suggests that those will be coming next year. You can read our review of the most comparable edition, the one found on Xbox 360, here.

Our TakeMinecraft is the new Tetris or Pac-Man. It’s going to be the title that’s available wherever you want it, whenever you want it. I’ve not yet been bitten by the bug, but seeing some of the amazing creations out there, I’m definitely tempted to try my hand at it.
Man I want to love console Minecraft but 4J needs to get on it with the updates. The game is much more nuanced and interesting when you get all the PC updates like Horses, Emeralds, trading with villagers, ender chests...etc.
Don't add Nathan Drake! PLEASE NOTCH HAVE MERCY! RATCHET! CLANK! KRATOS! Hell I'll take Fat Princess if that's what it takes!
*for those who cannot tell (you know who you are) I am trying to be humorous in my displeasure at GIO's suggestion through overt exaggeration. Have a nice day, or Freakzoid will find you and throw you off a bridge.*
Hopefully it's crossbuy so I don't have to rebuy it on PS4 and Vita
Very nice! I'll have to convince a friend to pick up this game now.
Mike, I know You often read the comments (which I really appreciate by the way). So, I was wondering if You had a better time frame for the release of Minecraft on PS4. Like as in early 2014 or fall or something.
Finally!
I'm almost fearful of diving into something like Minecraft, but I'm certainly interested in trying it out sometime. People have devoted so much of their lives to this that I can't pass it up forever, even if just to know how addictive it can be.
Cool. I've been out of Minecraft for months and the console version might help me get back in. I'm not going to buy it of course, but let my 12 year old brother get it instead. >:)
the thing to note, is minecraft is most fun with other players. its fun by your self for a while, but not nearly as enjoyable as with friends.
I really hope you guys enjoy it. My daughter has been playing it on our PC since she was 8. We decided to give it a go on the 360 about a year ago. I will be the first to admit I didn't "get it" at first...but now I thoroughly enjoy it. It has a bit of a learning curve (for me, at least) but it's a great game to turn on and just wander around. I'm glad all of my PS3 friends finally get the opportunity to play it!
Oh yes!! I'm so excited. Gonna download it when my paycheck drops on Thursday.
O_O long Lucky first time Ps3 Minecraft. maybe see
Long wait but well worth it
now my 360 will get less action than before =/
