This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:

Not sure how long this will last as it is a glitch, so get in while the going is good.

You must do this on a browser on your PC, using the PS store on your console won't work.

1. Go to link and add the demo/trial to cart and pay £0.00.

2. Do the same for Vita version here - store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/!/en-gb/games/minecraft-playstationvita-edition/cid=EP4433-PCSB00560_00-MINECRAFTVIT0000

3. On the PS3 game page the full paid for version has for some reason become free, so add that to cart and pay £0.00.

4. As it is cross buy, Vita (PS4 still needs upgrade but only £3.69) is unlocked for download for absolutely nothing.

#########################################

For those having trouble with the PS4 Upgrade:

The PS4 upgrade can be found in the PS4 store, via your console. If you have the PS4 demo or "Full Game Trial" you might need to delete it, and restore your PSN liscenses from Settings > PSN in the console’s menu before finding the full version in the store. Using the web store only seems to show the demo, not the £3.69 upgrade.

Delete the demo.
Reinstall your licenses.
Reboot the PS4.
Go to PSN > Games > All Games.
Scroll down a few rows (17?) and you’ll see two Minecraft entries. You want the “Game Unlock”.
Enjoy.

- adamguest1985

- Repeat the procedure with PS4 version too, also unlocks for free.

Please bear in mind this is *technically* violating T&C's for PSN

    Legend! Thank you so much! Got it free on all my playstation devices!.



    Assuming that includes a ps4, that version will not be free, i guarantee it. If you want the ps4 version then buy the discounted upgrade while you still can.

    wasn't meant to be cross buy - it was a £2 or £3 upgrade, but appeared as free.

    i'd get it now in case you do get one

    wheres the option to pay 3.69 for the upgrade on ps4?



    Do you mean in game?

    I couldn't find it in game had to go back on PC and order it here (store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/!/en-gb/minecraft-playstation4-edition/cid=EP4433-CUSA00265_00-MINECRAFTPS4ED02)

    The PS4 unlock is not "in game" it's on the website as well, just search Minecraft and filter to PS4 and you'll see it for £3.69 - or click here

    OH ****.



    And what if you were buying this product in isolation without seeing this topic? Of course you won't get banned. The most that might happen is versions that were unpaid for may get their licence pulled. I doubt it however, although I'm uncertain what the precedent with Sony is.

    Remeber when i got killzone shadow fall for 59p or something ridiculous and nothing happened about that glitch. Things may have changed though.

    Absolutely fuming. Just got these for free. Went to upgrade on PS4. … Absolutely fuming. Just got these for free. Went to upgrade on PS4. Selected buy now on Minecraft thinking it would come up with an option for the £3.49 price or at least the chance to put it in my basket. Without any warning though it just charged my card the full £12.99.Why is it not like the PS3 where it warns you, makes you add credit etc. Before you can confirm the purchase. Wound up by my own stupidity here.



    Enable password verification for purchases and that one won't happen.

    One-touch buy systems are the work of Satan.

    I got Killzone & King Oddball for free



    There you go.

    I got little deviants for free once too but they revoked it the next day.
  29. morethananaddict's avatar
    nice! thanks, i got it free across all platforms (was considering getting for ps4 anyway so this is even better)

    cheers OP and others who posted tips
  30. Grimmy11's avatar
    Thanks, particularly happy because I'd previously bought the PS4 version thinking it was cross buy with Vita.

    I can't see Sony doing anything other than fixing the bug tomorrow, people who got Killzone for £0.59 with the picture patch glitch got to keep it. And when they accidentally put Gotham City Imposters and one of the Nba 2k games on plus (they were meant to be for other regions as alternatives to banned/unavailable games) everyone got to keep them.
  31. NIgelK's avatar
    'bought' last night, downloaded this morning, a few patches have taken the file size to 162mb version 1.08, no option to purchase full version so assuming it's the proper full game.

They're trying to sort it for the people that actually bought the game and supported the devs first rather than making it worse by having to sort it with all the free loaders on it as well. Cant see a problem with that. However, that issue shouldn't have even got this far with the extra time they had on the game and the beta test that was carried out but **** happens.



    PS+ users aren't freeloaders, they're paying for a service just like anybody else and it's all academic anyway since that game doesn't even work for those who paid the full retail price at the moment.

    What you're suggesting is that PS+ subscribers are 'freeloaders' who don't support product developers and are therefore pretty much equal to pirates. I hope you realise how ridiculous that sounds.

    Fine, free loaders wrong term. But they're not exactly going to let PS+ … Fine, free loaders wrong term. But they're not exactly going to let PS+ users swarm the servers when they're overloaded already. Want to play it, buy it. Do you realise how ridiculous you sound about how hard done by PS+ owners have been done over by Driveclub?! Get a grip!Not aimed at you but all I read about is poor PS+ users and how they demand this, that and the other. Moaning like spoiled brats like it's their god given right to have AAA's for 'free' every month and then moan again at a crappy indie selection for PS4 like little whiners "we want AAA!!!" Blah blah. It's pathetic.



    I totally understand what you're saying but I can't agree with you. At the end of the day, Sony's support for Plus this year has been dire and the PS4 has felt the worst of that. Nobody is asking for miracles but if EA can give away a AAA next-gen game every month for half the price of Plus then what is Sony's excuse?

    Tbh, I'm not fussed at all about Driveclub but I think you do have to question Sony's handling of the situation and I'm including for the people who have actually bought the game.

    Anyone else having the problem having 'acquired' minecraft via this deal … Anyone else having the problem having 'acquired' minecraft via this deal that it installs OK - but when you launch it - it says unlock full version. Yet when you click on that - it tells you you've got the full game installed.



    If you mean the PS4 version then yes, this is normal, it happens because the PS4 version you got was just a trial of the full game, in order to get the full game you need the full game upgrade for £3.69, it will show up (next to the trial you already have) if you browse all games on the PS4 store.

    This means you can't get the full PS4 edition free (even when this glitch was active) but having it for £3.69 is still a total bargain by any standards.

So what if I wanted to buy the PS3 version now, which I don't, now I can't. Not a very good fix



    Still need Minecraft for PS3?
