    Hi, I'm trying to upgrade to the PS4 version of Minecraft on the store for my son (he already has it on PS3 and Vita) but when I search for Minecraft on PS4 it only gives me the option to download the trial version there is no option to purchase unlock key or anything like that, likewise when I open the trial version in the menu you can click "unlock full game now" but this just brings me back to the store where it says "installed" but still no option to purchase :(.
    Has anyone here experenced a problem like this one or have any idea what I could be doing wrong? My PS4 is only new and I haven't really had time to get used to the menus and stuff like that so any help would be appriciated, Thanks.

    Yeah I know I have to buy it again (which should be at a discounted price as I have PS3 version on the same account) but the problem is there is no option to buy it anywhere that I can see.

    What do you mean I have to buy all the games again? I already have the games bought and installed on both PS3 and Vita, Sony specifically said the anyone who had bought Minecraft on PS3 and played it online before the 28th-08-13 where allowed to buy the PS4 version at a discounted price of €3.99. I completely understand with most other games you have to pay for both PS3 and PS4 separately.The problem here isn't about how much I have to pay but the fact that there is no option to pay at full or discounted price.

    Do it on a PC on the Ps store. Should be much easier to find.

    Can't speak for playstation as I'm on Xbox but could you not download the trail, normally when you load it up it will have an option on the menu screen to then unlock a full version, it may have the 3.99 price there? Worth a shot.

    Scratch that , I see in the OP you already tried that.
