The PlayStation Phone goes by XPERIA Play, launches in April

21 December, 2010
The long rumored Sony Ericsson PlayStation phone won't be announced on CES next month, but on the MWC 11 in February. It will hit the stores in April under the name of XPERIA Play. Quite some news, right...

Nice publicity SE has got. They will rumor it as a PSPhone then later reveal it as a gaming phone so that mobile game afficionados will have its eyes on this. I hope this phone is heavy on specs or people will choose another Android on the shelf. Apple fanboys where are you? Apple will never dip their foot on gaming waters.

    I will probably ditch iPhone if Sony manage get a bunch of attractive game specific for the device. By attractive I mean console quality game. I am not going buy an android phone just to play Angry Bird or the usual gameloft crap. What's the point of having a good hardware without software support?

          [deleted post]i think he's right

          cause psp interface and OS are totally different from Android'sOS

          and SE will be making an new phone soon

          psp gets more updates then ps3

          with the ps3 they are too lazy to fix alot of things like the browser how is crashes all the time

          multitasking while not in game

          and fixing the damn load time for half the games and it's been 3 years since the ps3 was out

          they are really bad with updates man

          i'm a ps3 user and i hate dealing with some of their lazyness it's discusting

                      [deleted post]one advice, don't buy then?
                      no one's forcing you to buy the cheap phones supposedly made in China according to you are they?
                      so stop whining already & go do some bashing somewhere else...
                      we have enough trolls already on the internet...thanks!

                          so you will play the same android games already made? IMO its better to have its own library to make it reasonable.

                              Yes a real gaming phone finally materialize, with gaming buttons and d-pad! Since every video shows the phone with android os on it, you can bet emulation such as nes and snes will work(hopefully)! But what about the weight, and battery life?

                                  I believe every touchscreen phones in next year should come with this
                                  gaming controls rather than qwerty keyboard.
                                  I mean, virtual keyboard is more than enough, why are you doubling it
                                  with hardware that makes your phones bulky I don't get it.
                                  but this gaming controls is something else, and needed installment to
                                  EVERY TOUCHSCREEN PHONES, whether it's Android, Apple, Winmo, or
                                  Symbian!
                                  PS: but not too thick like this X.P. , pleasee.....
