It is not weird wishing to have something! Thanks for taking the time to watch this video :) -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Thanks for the nice comment! Enjoy your phone :-) -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@inaggy Thanks for the recommendation. Stay tuned though for the new games that will be released for this phone. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@Dragonzkilerz The slider might get a little loose. But if you feel like it's too loose we recommend that you contact Sony Mobile in your location so they can examine your device. -Nessa

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@aziliks You could use either one. Your phone by default will use the fastest internet connection that is available. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

There are 3 versions of the Xperia T. The TL in particular will be the one for ATT. On other regions you may be able to buy the T or the TX.

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Thanks for the comment Deivid! -Josh

[@MirrorsEdgeFan.]

to the first question: I use it every day the buttons are really good an have no noticeable wear but you should buy you a class 10 micro sd for this smartphone.

[@sonyericssonsupport]

It is really good not only for gaming but for all its other functions such as watching videos. Not all the games are that big, and if you have the typical capacity SD card (8GB) you can have tons of games installed on the phone. -Josh

[@kimemasal]

some games are now not compatible to GB version of xperia play. i think this is the beginning of the end of the xperia play games supported by its gamepad.

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@ali8283 We know that the 2.3.4 update in general will start to roll out during October this year, however we don't have the precise info on when and if it will come to Canada. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

You could contact AT&T to see what are your options to get it through them. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@groudon266 You might be able to get it from the PC Companion application, but it may cause software problems. I'd suggest returning to the original ROM that was installed on your phone first, then update. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@bengoro7 That phone has been customized that way by Verizon and one of their requirements was to removed that app from their phone. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

It will depend on the market that the phone is available to. Please contact your local Sony Mobile office for pricing info. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

I'm not sure if it is. You'd need to contact AT&T to confirm if they offer the phone on both a contract and unlocked. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

The Xperia™ play from Verizon is customized differently to the other version of the Xperia™ play from other providers or generic versions. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@MatriXtyle I'm sorry but I can't tell whether it is or not. Try to contact your local retailer that sell the phone and confirm with them if it does. -Josh

[@powerhardy100]

@neyula1 No problem!^^ But i think it will comes in the end of May......

[@sonyericssonsupport]

There are many games available for the Xperia play, we don't really have an exact count of how many there are. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Thanks for watching it Keenan! -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@aliifti187 That app is not available for every country/region, so if you are getting that message sadly that means it is not available for your country/region. -Josh

[@chili24137]

@OppingMinecraft Yes, through verizon atleast.

[@sonyericssonsupport]

The customization of the phone will depend on the country/region where you purchase the phone from. That being said not all the Xperia™ play will come pre-loaded with the same apps and games. -Josh

[@jackie20ization]

Why does it ask for your credit card info if you want to buy a wallpaper or theme? can you get it to take it of the top up on the phone?

[@sonyericssonsupport]

There are many games that you can download from the Play Store for this phone that are free and some others that you have to pay for. So visit the Play Store if you have this phone to see all the options available for you! -Josh

[@powerhardy100]

@neyula The 4.0 update is coming in may

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Some pre-installed apps cannot be removed from the phone. -Josh

[@kimemasal]

please sony should make a special update for the much ease of use and entertainment like in 4.1 for the play because i think it is only the 2011 smartphone and a phone that make sony i think profit largely that didn't update to 4.0. i love my xperia play but i want some features of 4.1 i want its ram to be more reliant and battery saving.

[@sonyericssonsupport]

In regards to Xperia PLAY, after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich or beyond- therefore a JB upgrade will not be made available for Xperia PLAY.

[@13232826]

thank you for ur video for help me to download ps games

[@AlbiDota]

I have this ... its the best phone ever!!!

[@Hodgy]

how good is this phone at searching the internet and watching youtube video's etc? as i love gaming so this phone would be great, although i also want to search the interney and watch youtube vids. also how big are the games on this phone? are they small or large? as if they are massive is it like 5 per memory card?

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@jackie20ization Android Market must use a credit card, it cannot use the top up on the phone. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@chili24137 Unfortunately the Play from Verizon does not support that application. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@shadowinlight20 No, it doesn't have that option. -Josh

[@mylol1996]

Some ppl home screen will be rotated once they slide out the console but not mine why?

[@stratagemSG1]

This smartphone/console hybrid had so much potential, too bad $ony killed it.

[@keenanmack9998]

Nice video

[@BenkeiBMF]

Why does my Xperia Play come with the Timescape UI and not the standrard one that the verizon users get?

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@bengoro7 I'm sorry but I don't have a precise answer for your question. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

@gabivasquez5 That application is not available in every country/region. So unfortunately your country is one of those. -Josh

[@sonyericssonsupport]

I'll post below the networks supported by the AT&T version of the Xperia play. This way you can contact your provider first and confirm with them if it will work. -Josh GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 UMTS HSPA 800, 850, 1900, 2100 (Americas)

[@puterasdj97]

[@bob4c89]

[@stokic1]

Hello, i really want to get this phone but iwas wondering how good it shows videos on websites beside youtube, i mean, if i want to watch anime on some sites will it also run smooth and if i fullscreen it will it still be nice quality? :)

[@chili24137]

I have the xperia play with Verizon but I dont have that playstation pocket application for the old ps1 games but it did come with crash on the regular gaming thing but is there anyway I can get that playstation pocket app so I could easily get ps1 games?

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Timescape™ cannot be removed from the phone. -Josh

[@kimemasal]

[@ilikebeingbronixD]

I have a question. I saw this phone on eBay and I want to buy it. I live in Canada but the phone is an unlocked AT&T version. Will it work on Telus? Please reply soon. Thanks.

[@aziliks]

Hi, i have a question. Can i use a 3G or EDGE to download games? I have a data plan.

[@shadowinlight20]

have a question, is remote play available on xperia play since you carry your phone with you more than psp and it would be reasonable to have the option to connect to your ps3?

[@neyula1]

thank you so much

[@sonyericssonsupport]

I will send you a link Alcides from our Developer Blog page where you can apply for the Borrow a Phone option and if you meet the requirement a phone will be send to you. -Josh

[@BARCA9AEK]

So if I download some other games for example can I delete them.?

[@InklanUtterfield]

Could you tell me if this application is available in Malta? Thanks.

[@faisalalmutairii]

[@nimbuw]

[@michaeljacksoning]

But are there some psp games too? And they are free?!?!?

[@sonyericssonsupport]

Hi Putera, the best way to increase the available memory on the phone is by uninstalling the apps you don't longer use. -Josh

[@BARCA9AEK]

[@alcidescardozo]

[@948BadBoy]

[@sonyericssonsupport]

This phone doesn't support PS2 games. -Josh

[@kimemasal]

Really disappointing and the only phone that have the big expectation by the consumers that didn't get any upgrade version. Now we are regretting we buy this phone.
