Edit: forget that, I just tried it again and it worked!

I'm torn between this and an arc since there is no new iPhone on the horizon

If you want games the get the Play, if you want a decent screen and camera then get the Arc.
There are rumours there is no new iPhone, nothing is confirmed yet.
Soldato
Camera is meaningless to me tbh. The other thing that concerns me is the chubbiness of the play tbh.
Yeah, but it isn't likely, and I suppose if they release one, I could sell the play and my 3GS to get one.

To be honest I quite like the feel of it in the hand, although it does make a bit of a bulge in the pocket. You don't feel like you would drop it though, it's actually very ergonomic.

I see that some people who preordered (like Paul O'Brien from Modaco) have received their Xperia PLAYs a day early.

I'll chase mine up tomorrow. P4U said they are getting stock centrally on Fri and sending them out the same day.

Paul from Modaco has put a 'first thoughts' review up:

Vodafone emailed me about a "slight delay" basically I will not be getting the handset on release date.

Another call from buymobilephones and they have stock in now, and looking to dispatch it today for delivery tomorrow, or worst case scenario on Saturday. Happy days!
Edit: It's been dispatched apparently.
For a computer/gaming forum, I'm surprised this is the only thread about it. :/

Only question is,
Go for one of these, or stick 'iPhone', and get the iPhone 4?

Got one yesterday (Sim free) and will be giving up my iPhone4 for it.
Will post back when I've played with it a bit.

does anyone think SE have really messed up with their excution?
I mean seriously a phone that is playstation branded and they are co launching it with Crash bandicoot from about 12 years ago...
There has been no hype no TV adverts no nothing. This SHOULD be a big deal but as SE have marketed it its just another phone.
This should be the phone that gets all the young teens into getting SE phones instead of an iphone. You know the types the ipod touch and DS corwd.
What a let down... Quite frankly there is hardly a killer game on android anyway there all either alright or meh

If you look at the video of Sonys launch event for the Xperia Play, then I agree with you.
You get the feeling people were dragged along.
