As many of you know, MoJang has decided to release Minecraft on the Xbox 360. While not saying anything publicly, it seems they have no plans of releasing it on the PS3. However, through a little bit of tampering with the minecraft.exe and the options (.txt, not through the in-game system) and a .bat file, anyone can play Minecraft on the PS3, all they need is an external harddrive or a USB (I don't know if it would be possible to do it via dvd, cd, etc). Doing a quick youtube scan I found 30+ videos on how to instal and run minecraft on the PS3, with a working multiplayer system. So, do you guys think MoJang should just release it officially for the Playstation? At the moment there are few people who would take the 5 min. needed to install it on the Playstation, but once the Playstation 4 (or whatever they will call it) comes out, it will much easier to install due to a new java-feature (copy, paste, hook USB up to Playstation, done).
It is definitely NOT possible to play Minecraft on PS3 - whatever you saw on YouTube, it was fake!
I'm not so sure. I know for a fact its possible to edit a dualshock controller to work for an xbox. Granted you have to re-wire some xbox components into it, but its still possible.
But Microsoft can afford things like updates, and security, and Minecraft for xbox users.

Dualshock controllers are HARDWARE, same way I can use ps2 controllers on my wii. Minecraft is JAVA SOFTWARE. You cannot and will not ever be able to play minecraft on the PS3 unless you use a vnc client.. The Minecraft.exe isn't the actual game, it just launches a .jar file
I know how .exe files work, and it MAY be possible to use a vnc client along with the exe/jar package, but the .jar will have to be altered to fit the PS3.

*Ahem* PS3 sucks, Xbox FTW! Now, can we move on to a more meaningful argument?
lol peoples make me laught seeing how much they don't know what they talk about... maybe there's some good game on it, but the real fact with xbox is that it's written "Microsoft" on it... and guess what, it's almost "programmed" to stop working after a year or so... the exploit is not the problem, it's the cd players, a small piece of metal in it after a while will simply come of lose, after that the only way to make it read something without opening it or bringing it to repair, is to place it upside down, and that damage hard drive and cd's/dvd's. For the peoples who don't believe it, make google your friend and search, the internet is full of pst about this! As for facts, i've owned 2 xbox 1, and 3 360, and they ALL add the same problem, all under a year of usage, never add a ps3, but want one for sure, BUT, i still have my old ps2, that i bought not so long after it came out, and guess what...it stil work!!!
you know, i just was talking about this to my sister. they SHOULD release it for the play station series. i LOVE play station. it is just great. i have had a ps2 since the old FAT version. they definitely should do this. we must appeal to mojang!

Hmmm my friend got an Xbox 360 a couple years back and it is still running. He told me that he rewired the fan inside so it also feeds off the power that runs the CD drive to increase it's output. As far a validity, all I can say is the fan does sound like it runs a bit faster than most, but he very well could be full of ****. As well, he's never had the red ring.
Playstation 4? Wat.
The playstation got no games and after TheTesters show from playstation network I refuse to touch my playstation again.
I also don't think they will able to release it on the ps3 since microsoft made it an exclusive.
Frankly, I don't understand why anyone would want to play it on the XBox, much less the PS3, and this coming from a console gamer. You can't do mods. Texture packs are gonna be a pain in the butt if you can do them at all. And I can't imagine trying to whip around in time to knock back a creeper that sneaks up behind you with an analog stick. It's not like it's Skyrim, it's not a difficult game to run. You don't need an awesome computer to do it, you don't even need a Windows computer to do it. My 5 year old MacBook Pro can do it with an HD texture pack and the video settings cranked, ffs.

Hey!
Whats with you guys arguing which system is better, they both have a good amount of games to play, they both run pretty damn well so stop this pointless argument.

What do you mean Playstation has no games?
They have many exclusives and they're pretty damn awesome.
As for the Tester yeah it sucks but it has nothing to do with gaming

Exactly. Executable ".exe" files only run on Windows. I'm pretty sure PlayStation 3 does not run on Windows! The only way it would be possible is for some variation of Linux to be installed on a hacked PS3 with the JAVA virtual machine installed and run the minecraft.jar directly.
It doesn't matter whether I support or object to the subject at hand, if your argument is stupid I am against you.
If you set a man on fire he will be warm for the rest of his life.

They could but Microsoft probably wouldnt be very happy about it. Seeing as how they paid money to make it an exclucive.

Thank you, Minecraft is actually the game that got me into PC gaming, I hardly touch my PS3 anymore.

Guess what, no one gives a s**t about which console is better; each one has its own benefits.

lol
You should have expected this the second you saw the words "Minecraft" and "PS3" in the same header.

Wow look how balanced these questions look!
No crap, this is clear evidence that the OP is a fanboy of PS, these questions should be simply changed to Yes or No, and this coming from a PS gamer.
Can you provide meaningfulness to your post?
