We’ve been keeping a close eye on the 1.8 release and have put together a small update that should fix a lot of issues that people have reported to us. This update is compatible with 1.8 servers, but even though it’s not strictly required to update to 1.8.1 we’d strongly recommend that you do for all the performance and stability gains it gives you.
We have some great news to share! Minecraft for PSVita is coming tomorrow and we hope you’ll enjoy it. It has been a lot of work with 4J and Sony to make this happen and we’re thrilled to see what you guys will build on the go!
Remember that if you have already bought Minecraft for PS3 you’ll get the Vita version for free! You can also transfer worlds between the PS3 and PSVita! And if you want to buy the PS4 version after that, it will only cost you 4,99 smackeroonies! Here is also a longer article from Sony about the various purchase options:
