Minecraft arrives on PS4 just ahead of Xbox One

From CNET: Playstation 4 users will be able to travel through the worlds of Minecraft a day ahead of their Xbox One counterparts.

The Minecraft PS4 edition will starting selling at Sony's PlayStation Store in the US on Thursday sometime before 12 p.m. PT, Sony said in a blog post Wednesday. The game will be priced at $19.99 for new users and $4.99 for owners of the PS3 edition who want to upgrade.

Cooked up by indie gaming developer Mojang, Minecraft lets you travel through a Lego-like land composed of blocks. Along the way, you can devise your own buildings, machines, flora, fauna, and other items to build virtual worlds. But you'll also have to fight off monsters and other hazards. Since the game is open-ended, Minecraft has been described as a learning environment for children, and one that can prove quite addictive.

Sony promises a bigger and better Minecraft environment on the PS4 than the one on the PS3.
