***Sony Ericsson makes Xperia Play official***

I wonder...
Onlive can work via Wifi.
Xperia has a game pad.
If they can get onlive on the Xperia, it would be pretty good, would it not?

Do you reckon they'll get the app to work with games ?

I'm tempted by this (my near 10 year + old sagem myx 2 is getting a bit past it ) so i've heard that you can hack it to play old psx games can it play psp games too?


also as i've never owned a fancy phone, how durable is this?

and in other words tempt me with features and personal experience as pay day is tuesday

Also i hear minecraft pocket works on this anyone heard any news if they ever plan on making minecraft PE into survival mode/online or is it just creative?

Yes it plays psx games, but not psp games.
Not tried them out yet, plenty of new games or remakes made specifically for it.....
Have a look at this thread for games that work with it using the dedicated controller:

I don't see why not? All it needs to do is send the controls back. It's already doing the hard part of video and sound I guess? Only issue would be (and is the case with OnLive on any system) what is the input lag going to be like?

Via Wifi, for the Xperia Play, it shouldn't be too bad?
I know you can also get a PS3 remote to work on the Xperia Play, which would make it easier with the lack of L2/R2/L3/R3 on the Xperia control pad.

OnLive recommend a wired ethernet connection to your router.

Got an xperia play in white for £130 and I love it! Playing most games on the SGS was such a chore in comparison!
