The physical version of Minecraft for PS Vita - which also includes a cross-buy download code for both the PS3 and Vita versions (there is a small upgrade charge if you want the PS4 version).
After Microsoft recently increased the retail price of Minecraft for all PlayStation versions (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/minecraft-s-retail-price-is-going-up/0167347) this works out at about half price.
The trade-in price at CeX is currently £10 fwiw.

Same here. There's a lesson for me here to check everything out before I make the purchase. On the plus side I redeemed the code and sold the physical version for £10, so free Minecraft on Vita and PS3.

Update: As of February 25, 2016 this upgrade offer and the DLC content transfer offers are no longer available.
Thanks op got one in store with code today. Anyone got a link to the PS4 upgrade on PSN as can't seem to find it.

Good question. I signed in on the webstore, added the PS4 version to my basket, went all the way through the purchase process till I was one click away, but it still said £12.99. And there doesn't seem to be a separate upgrade option.

Interesting stuff. And hence the code was effectively guaranteed :laughing:

Just to confirm, guys: my sealed copy had the code inside. Managed to redeem it, and while it specifically said 'PS3', I subsequently went to my Vita and had the option to download the full game for free. Huzzah!
The seal also had a sticker on it that said something along the lines of 'Property of SCEE. Not to be removed prior to purchase.'

That sticker basically means that Game aren't paying Sony for supplying the game until after it is sold, and if they go bankrupt again Sony get their stock back as they haven't been paid for it.

Sega Hard Girls :confused::laughing: I love the Vita. Largely because I can game without the old ball and chain complaining.

Just picked up a copy in Glasgow Silverburn, fully sealed.
Amusingly, the guy told me, "They don't really make Vita games anymore." I recently bought Odin Sphere and God Eater 2, but yeah, I guess it's somewhat niche these days.

They have stock in my local stores but the 'new' games in Game tend to be already opened. I wouldn't be surprised if the codes have mysteriously disappeared :wink:

This definitely contains a code as well? So I could give the physical to a mate or trade it in for £10 and own it for free on both PS3/Vita?

I wondered that, too. Shame it's OOS.

is it still luck of the draw to get a sealed copy with game?

Yep!

So you could theoretically buy this, use the code for PS3 & Vita and then use the cartridge on a friend's Vita?

Good price for Minecraft Vita but where did you get the info about the code?

Just bought this from Game for cheap PS4 upgrade :disappointed:
Have you tried on the console itself?
