Xperia Play will launch with 50 games from 20 publishers and come to Verizon first in early spring.
Since my contract with AT&T doesn't expire until June (I think), I'll likely have a full fact sheet to decide between this and iPhone 5.
edit: Can a mod rename this thread to "Official PlayStation Suite and Xperia Play Thread"? Might as well cover both of these pieces together to make it useful to more people.
I ditched my Game Gripper and now use Wii Controller IME. It just lets you use wiimote on the emulators. Works with Classic controller also.Quote:

I would imagine that they would have issues locking out legitimate Android market software, but who knows. I'll be waiting for the inevitable crack that lets you load any PS1 ISO you want onto the thing to replace my old hacked PSP-1000. Oh, and I'll be waiting for my Non-Verizon carrier to pick the phone up.
Ah, you mean FPse?
Done.
yongzh, Schtruck, & LDchen run the market. Any goofy shit Sony officially puts out will just be a bonus.
I kept wondering when the inevitable, really stupid decision would come, and here it is. PSN and PlayStation Suite are separate, so if you bought a PS1 game on PSN, you can't play it through the PS Suite. It's now back to Apple's game to lose.
That kills it for me. If they would have made it PSN compatible and I could play my PS1 and minis on it I would have dropped my Droid X for it in a heartbeat.
Oh, fuck that then. The phone is convenient, but I'm not paying twice and I'd rather have it on the PSP 3000/PS3. So the phone is really going to be my worst fear for it-an Android phone with a gamepad, and not much more.
Really? A midrange android handset with Playstation style digital inputs and some kind of analog touch things is exactly what it was rumoured to be, and I think it turned out about as well as could be expected.
It's a rather pointless use of the Playstation brand, though.
The dpad and buttons are the only thing it has going for it, and I'm not a huge fan of Sony's design to begin with.
Hopefully some other phone maker will design a generic gaming phone to compete with this.
Until then, this is the best option.
Portables are dead. Smartphones are going to take over. Nobody over the age of 12 is going to be want caught playing a 3DS or NGP in public.
