Xperia Play gets UK debut date

PlayStation phone availability announced

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Sony Ericsson's PlayStation phone - the Xperia Play - now has a UK release date and price. It has also been confirmed that the gadget will come with six pre-installed games.

The six titles have changed slightly since we discussed the launch of the Xperia Play at Mobile World Congress. The UK line-up is now: Bruce Lee Dragon Warriors, Crash Bandicoot, Fifa 10, Star Battalion, Tetris and The Sims 3.

Of course, a further 50 titles will be available through the PlayStation suite from current smartphone titles to PSone classics.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

Sony Ericsson claimed the PlayStation-certified phone will get the biggest marketing campaign it has ever run in the UK. All the mobile operators will offer the device.

The Android-based Xperia Play, which features a 4in touchscreen and 60fps video playback, will hit UK shop shelves on 31 March for £500 Sim-free. ®

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

Knowing Sony

They will remove the ability to make a voice call 6 months after its been released on the grounds that it might compromise the security of the device.

Free gifts...

Apparently the first one to hack it gets a free subscription to PSN+, a visit from the FBI and CIA, plus the added bonus of having their IP addresses subpoenad and civil rights and violated by some Hicksville "judge".

"AWSD only works with a full size keyboard, but with a small phone keyboard, where your controlling a game character, you might be mishitting the wrong key as you should be looking at the screen and not the keyboard. Keyboards just suck for simplifying the layout of a system in a hand held."

you're holding it wrong.
