Verizon fixed the Exploit that gingerbreak used before releasing the phone. There is however an active discussion going on over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098131
There are a few of us working on a possible bootloader unlock for the Verizon play. Also there are details of what we have tried to gain root and failed.

On the phone, Download z4root from google and install it, then open it and choose Perm Root, then it will install su and the Superuser app.
Hope it helps.
I tried the z4 infact thats was the way I rooted my phone the first time but after the ota update they shut down Z4root's path. I need my root back to tether (no internet at all now!)

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!
I got the ota update last night. UK generic version

I think you need FasTboot to flash it?
Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.
how come gingerbreak doesnt work vzw play? trying to root without unlocking bootloader
It doesn't work on the vzw version cause they patched up the exploit before putting the phone out

Is there any way to root it?
I'm on 2.3.2, not 2.3.3 if it helps.
It's rootable but takes a bit of work. They're working on a more permanent solution.

Oh really? Can I see the thread?
You need to unlock the bootloader. After that, go to the development forum and read the R800x root thread.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
You eventually gingerbreak or super one click will work
So all I have to do is unlock my bootloader, then root it with Gingerbreak or SOC? Or should I wait for a better alternative?

I wish! I cant use paypal, so unfortunaly I'll have to stay with a locked bootloader
Can't you do the Sony unlock?
Apart from messing my ROM up (Which I've resolved by going to yours) it's pretty much straight forward.
