Sony Ericsson's PlayStation-certified phone, the Xperia Play, will debut on American shores May 26. Exclusive carrier Verizon will be taking pre-orders this coming Thursday, May 19. The phone runs on Android 2.3 and will set you back $199.99 when you purchase a two-year Verizon plan which includes a $29.99 per-month data plan.
Previously reported information:
The Xperia Play comes pre-loaded with seven titles as well as 50 downloadable titles:
- Asphalt 6: Adrenaline
- Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior
- Crash Bandicoot (PlayStation original)
- Madden NFL 11
- Star Battalion
- The Sims 3
- Tetris
Since the European launch a month ago, many titles are selling less than 100 copies and no single PS1 title has surpassed 1,000 sales so far, according to Android Marketplace data.
Will you guys be getting one? Do you care much for the titles available?

sooo anyone has tried it?
I want to get one but I will probably wait a week or 2 after release to see what the reviews are like... I know there are already reviews but I still want to make sure it won't suck.
verizon??? screw that.
What? SO the US gets Asphalt 6 and Sims 3, and Canada gets FIFA 10? What a rip.
i was going to get this phone. but then i found out you can't play/buy games from the playstation network. so i would have to rebuy the games to play it on the xperia. so instead i'm going to get a ngp.
I'm here because of the hot chick banner.
for 200 dolars and a subscription of 30 a month i would buy one everymonth... i pay about 140 for subscription, a nice cellphone is about 500 dolars and a PSP or DS is about 400 dollars...
Sell them here like that here and everybody in Brazil would have one.
I just want a NGP not a new phone. already have one of those.
I'm considering this. However, I will need to go down to a store and play with it first as well as see the following conditions.
- Sony states it will be upgraded to 2.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
- Reviews showing GPS and all other features work well (inc battery life)
- Screen is at least comparable/better than my current Samsung Fascinate
- Some retailers puts it on a sale where upgrades are $0 to $50. That's the max I'll pay for any phone with a contract. (so far I've spent $0 on smart phones (blackberry and my current android).
