It’s been out of stock for quite a while now, 6 months in-fact, but we now have the Sony Xperia Play back in stock and available to buy on the Clove website (for a limited time only). It now comes with a free DK300 multimedia dock and two free games (Call of Duty Zombies and Lara Croft Guardians of Light) and is priced at £175 (£210 inc. VAT). Don’t forget it’s also compatible with GTA III on Android, which is a big enough selling point in itself for fans of the Rockstar classic.
Sony has never been short of ideas when it comes to promoting its new handsets – they’re incredibly creative and plenty of fun for anyone taking part. I went to the launch of the Xperia PLAY just under a year ago and was thoroughly impressed by the show that Sony put on.
This year its the launch of the forthcoming Sony Xperia S that is being promoted. Sony has therefore recreated a level of Reckless Racing, which controls real life cards using custom apps installed on an Xperia S and Xperia PLAY. The modified MGF sports cars were raced round a disused strip of RAF land in Suffolk. Check out the videos below to see what happened, as well as the making of the cars.

I’ve been pretty damn tempted recently to purchase a Sony Xperia PLAY, especially with the release of GTA III. Now there’s a range of new PSOne classics including Rayman & Driver coming to the PLAY, it may be even harder to resist the Android gaming device. However, it’s not just the gaming features that interest me with the PLAY, it’s the media features as well.
Another handset from the Xperia range combined with the Sony Ericsson LiveDock could be equally as tempting (unfortunately the PLAY is not compatible with the LiveDock). The LiveDock offers USB hosting, meaning the likes of game controllers, mouse & keyboard and memory sticks can be easily connected. We tested GTA III with the PS3 controller connected to the LiveDock last week on the Xperia Arc. Most functions work, but it is not yet completely compatible. Hopefully this will be fixed with a future update.
So the choice comes down to an Xperia PLAY with classic Playstation games but no LiveDock and therefore no USB hosting (although this should be possible when the Xperia range is updated to ICS) or one of the other Xperia handsets with the Livedock. I think the PLAY may just edge it, but either way it’s a nice decision to have to make.
