Minecraft creator Markus ‘Notch’ Persson’s bank balance may already be fit to burst, but the Swedish programmer’s about to receive another injection of cash courtesy of the impending physical release of the construction simulation’s PlayStation 3 Edition. Set to tunnel into stores on 14th May in Europe and 16th May in North America, the package will ship with the popular indie title’s most recent update pre-installed, including emeralds, ender chests, potatoes, and more.
In addition to announcing the boxed build-‘em-up, developer Mojang also confirmed that the title has now sold an incredible 1.5 million copies on the PlayStation Store since its launch last year.

If Sony was wise they would bundle all versions, market it wisely even if the Vita needs it more......

well I'll be getting the Vita version physical as I have no more room on my memory card
@FullbringIchigo Seriously, Minecraft will take up like 150MB.
@get2sammyb I have 45mb free on my Vita
@FullbringIchigo I think i'm with you, just installed Peace Walker on Vita and i'm being notified of having less than 40 mb available. I would upgrade memory cards but its not worth the price.
@Big-Boss yeah they are too expensive, still the Vita is a great system but the price of memory cards is holding it back a bit
still I don't really like digital downloads anyway I always prefer a physical product I can hold
