Six more videos featuring four different Xperia PLAY launch titles in action in the hands of folks who've worked on them in some way or another. Nice way to see how the unit plays and how nice the games look. I'm a bit of a RPG nut, so Trendy Entertainment's rather nice-looking Dungeon Defenders could be my “go-to” game for the launch lineup. I also want a REALLY good rally game, of course. It'll be interesting to get some actual hands-on time with all of these myself just to see how they've turned out, that's for sure…

Sony Ericsson Announces Xperia PLAY DK300 Multimedia Dock

Posted on February 14, 2011 by geelw

Of course, the first accessory for Sony Ericsson's upcoming phone was also announced in Barcelona, so here's a look at a few images plus more specs (this one's shorter – put down the baseball bat!). I like the simplicity of the design and how well it compliments the phone while not taking up a bunch of desk space. Like the PLAY, price is TBA (hey, that rhymes!)

Anyway, to the jumpmobile!

Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY Tech Specs (Warning: Reading Required!)

Posted on February 14, 2011 by geelw

Yeah, yeah – some of you want tech specs, right? Well here you go, a ton of letters and numbers that add up to what's under the skin of Sony Ericsson's upcoming phone/gaming handheld. Just to sate the appetites of those who care and not leave a single stone unturned, I'm running the entire press release (minus some minor stuff you don't need to read about as it doesn't concern the product, games or services it'll offer)

Warning: Sheer Geek Overkill Alert below the jump… pull up a chair and grab a drink – it's a novella.

Got half an hour or so to spare? Good. Check out these two chunks of footage from the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY event at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from earlier today. Spring has sprung and even some of the former haters are liking what they see. Well except those negatively creepy clowns who can't seem to realize that gameplay footage from a press event or trailer isn't 100% representative of the FINAL code. Geez, grow up already!

Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY Barcelona Videos (Part Three) + WIN One on Facebook!

Four more Xperia PLAY videos from the event earlier today. Full details (and that contest!) below the jump (except specs – those are coming), but my quick take on all this excitement: Pre-loaded with the Sims 3, Tetris and four other games, 50 titles at launch (or within the launch window). Loads of developer support from small to large studios. At this point, I won't even be making a single phone call, have ZERO time for Facebooking nor using that 5.1 MP camera – I'll be to darn busy playing all those new GAMES. Verizon, huh? Well, in terms of coverage and service, it's a hell of a lot better than AT & T, that's for sure…

More footage and interviews from Barcelona. Everyone's definitely psyched at the possibilities and capabilities of the new Play, huh? Sure, I was skeptical for a few months… Now I want TWO* of them… Hell, maybe it'll get me to lose that death grip I still have on my N-Gage QD!

*(Ok, THREE)….

Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY Barcelona Videos (Part One)

Two excellent videos straight from Barcelona showing off the upcoming Xperia Play and what it can do. Could Sony have a home run here amongst core games that's got appeal for casual users? I certainly think so. More videos to come – stick around…

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Super Bowl Ad: "Ah-Ha!" Meets "Ewwwwww"

No, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl (yes, I had better things to do.) So, I missed this funky new ad until I got a call saying the video was up on YouTube. My response: “Ah-ha!” followed by “Well, what the… ewwwwwww!” Yeah,yeah, that other BIG secret Sony was clinging on to (ha ha) that wasn’t so secret is out. There WILL be a PSPhone. It’s the Ericsson Xperia Play (the same model you probably already saw over at Engadget) and yup, it’ll be coming your way soon enough. Android enabled, PS Suite packed and ready for your gaming needs. Oh, and it’s got a phone in case you feel the need to call someone and ask for directions because you totally missed your train stop while engrossed in that portable version of Killzone or whatever.

Er, who won the game anyway?
