Should I get a play? - Xperia Play General

I have a samsung captivate rooted with firefly 3.0 but am very unhappy with the att service in my area. I'm wanting to know what people think about the play, I've done some research on it and it looks epic but I want 3rd party opinions. So should I get the play or another high end verizon phone?

Depends on needing the game controls or not. It really is your choice.

Sounds like you made your mind up...
Hmm I think I have but the price factor seems to pop up in my mind it seems a bit unfair anyway im gonna do a bit more research on the phone

If you try to game with it you will be sorry. Remember why you got a play in the first place.

It's a good trade. The Play is made for gaming junkies. I am one of them, and I actually traded in my Galaxy S, which betters this phone in certain areas. To each their own. I know I've played more games in the few weeks with the play than I did in the 9 months with my Galaxy S, so I'm happy.
About development... good things come to those who wait

The price difference is only about £50-£70 in the UK, I would jump at that, I'd trade my play for it!
Well looking at the amount of games coming out for this phone id rather keep it nway my parents said no :/ (im 15 )
I finished 2 games in 2 weeks bia 2 nova 2 and im midway with asphalt and rainbow 6 which has just come out so im a.game junkie and I like this phone....
So in short im keeping it...declined the offer

ye i used to walk 3miles just to play daytona usa and sega rally
mame please come to android
i can still remember the first time i completed outrun in the arcade
and i had a crowd of people watching... so many memories
and playing out run on my spectrum with the outrun sound track blasting on the tape recorder lol
the good old days
you know what, definitely go for the IS.
i currently own both phones the IS & the play.
the IS is by far a more stable & enjoyable phone.
if the play actually lived up to its capabilities, it would have been good.
too many glitches & issues. starts to get irritating after a while
Just dont unlock your bootloader like that guy did and you wont have his problems. My play is trouble and issue free. Owned it since the day rogers released.

So.... no.
My eyes don't process stereoscopic images. The whole idea of 3D anything is pointless. Plus no other phone has a PSP built into it.

Yes, I would trade mine, simply because the play is quite bulky and the Evo takes 3d video and pictures.
Not a chance. Play meganoid on a touch screen and you'll see exactly why.
Smartphones have been trying to evolve into game systems, but couldn't before the Xperia PLAY because controls on touch screens suck for almost every genre.

Honestly, the values are simply gonna change if it's posted anywhere else. some people are moreso power whores that want eight core phones and don't care about proper game controls.

OMG!! LOL. I can't help but wonder if that turns you to some kind of disable person?
No, but in 2 years when I'm able to upgrade for free again, and if the 3D is still around, and there's nothing better/cooler, and the phone is free, and if the mobile data plan hasn't gone through the roof, and I'm still employed, ummm... maybe.
But only if I could switch back to my Play if I didn't like it.

i just got it from questionable means to see id probably would buy it if it worked but my phone completly freezes when i load it id hold of from buying it until a couple more updates are rolled out.
Are you running the verizon stock rom (2.1) or did you flash 2.2 thanks to the awesome talent in these forums?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
2.2, hopefully they can get it running on this phone, seems like a great deal for 5 bucks
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
id defenitly fork over the 5$ rockstar kind of pissed me off on this one though because if your not sure your phone is supported and u buy it u have to download the 400mb file witch takes longer than 15 minutes on most peoples connections so u wouldnt be able to refund it once u found out it dosnt work
witch is very shady if u ask me
Yeah it is definitely not best business practices
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
If I can slip my two cents in here. The refund issue is supposition, at best. Wouldn't it make more sense to contact the dev and ask him what his refund policy is, if the game doesn't work, considering the timeframe for downloading the data?

There is no doubt that ICS is going to be available on the R800x.
But getting an official OTA update from Verizon, thats a whole different story.
really??!! you guys are seriously arguing over this post??
GROW UP!!
on a serious note though, yes ICS is coming to the Play its expected end of march/beggining of april sony's words not mine!!
I think people are just a little bitter over verizons track record...
For me I hope this is true and.it would go a long way to keep me.as a customer

I thought you were leaving?
Sony has stated that they are pushing ICS to Xperia Play. That is, they are going to push it to the companies that push the update to the phones. That means that the companies that don't put their bloat on it will send it right out, once they can confirm that it works on their system.
Companies like AT&T and Verizon will get the update, add their bloatware, and also program it to match their systems. Verizon, in particular, will most likely take longer being that it is CDMA, as opposed to GSM, which is what the rest of the world's Xperia Plays are. Unless Sony is actually making a CDMA version themselves, it's going to take awhile for R800x.
Will I'm not as pissed as I was the other day but still not going to upload the rom dad made but I am going to keep guys updated on news about this phone when I get new info on it but as roms come I will get the info and stuff on the droid 3 forums

That's funny, because the Droid 3 doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.
So you switched from Droid 3 in your xda app sig back to R800x?
And back on topic...
You have to take any information from a Verizon Rep with a grain of salt...
I was told in November of 2010 that we would Froyo on my Continuum within a month... They just got that update... My Eris never got updated...
Verizon decides who gets their time and energy for updates based on device sales, so if you really want ICS, go convince some of your friend to get Xperia Plays...
Ok thanks for the info

saw it too and grabbed it either.
and most of the apps/games in 0.49$.
i actually took advantage the moment to buy some more apps.
I spend way too much money on these sales, lol. I already bought MC3 though; I did get it for a deal - just not sure how much ha, was probably $0.99 or something, which is still great considering it's normally like $8.
Thanks!!!
