If you are running 2.3.4 on your Xperia Play. Go to Settings/About Phone and click x on the firmware version (2.3.4) about 4 times fast and you will see a cool Easter egg zombie artwork!! Pretty cool.
That can be done on 2.3.3 also cool little zombie gingerbread pic

True, it's a gingerbread easter egg, or anything 2.3.x
Honeycomb has one as well, it pops up an android bee, and I'm sure ICS will also have one.
Honeycomb easter egg, at 1:25. Or a good vid if you like Daft Punk =P
Xperia Arc too

"One OS that runs everywhere." There you have it, folks! Google intends to meld its Honeycomb tablet wares and Gingerbread smartphone software into one delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. Maybe that's why the "sandwich" bit is in the name?Either way, it'll be a universal OS that runs on everything from teeny tiny Android phones to 10-inch tablets and will intelligently adapt to each form factor with things like a resizable status bar. Some other fancy new additions are being demonstrated right now, including face-tracking and camera focus shifting based on voice recognition.

X10 wont go further than 2.3 and we're bloody luck to get that off Sony. I'd imagine a dev will make a custom rom of this so we shouldn't miss out ;-)
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
As The Gingerbread Man says, this definitely won't officially be coming to the X10.
You are just being mislead by it being a "universal OS". It's not universal in the sense that any phone currently available will be able to update to Ice Cream Sandwich. It's universal in the sense that it works on both phones AND tablets without having a seperate OS for each.
Whys it say any sized phone..? Lol

That means it will be able to run on almost any device.
And be able to scale itself to the required device.
By automatically enabling or disabling features, effects, capabilities, ect..

Sony ericcson have already stated that the update to 2.3 will be our last OS update and concidering they were going to leave us officially on 2.1. The only way you will see this on your x10 is by a custom rom by our devs, its that simple.

Just thought I would throw this out there as a odd find. Messing around with a friends Atrix I was checking the version of Gingerbread & noticed I was rapidly touching the Android Version in settings and the screen quickly transitioned to an image of the Gingerbread Zombie
Stock Android Gingerbread OTA update version 2.3.4 - Just continuously touched the Android Version field as quick as possible for a second or two & this appears. Curious to see if this happens to any one else.
It's called an "Easter Egg" and it's been like that since Gingerbread was released. Here is an article from December:

Wth. No games like they said, if it wasn't for all these hard working 3rd party devs this phone would be dead! Sony this phone could off been great if u put some time n effort n worked properly on it! Frustrated that's all sick of feeling ripped off. :-(

The Settings menu looks like the ICS menu, but with all of the stuff Sony edits on Android, it still looks like the same old thing. Lame.

What are you talking about? The Xperia Play will get ICS as well !
I'll believe it when it Sony say it Sony seem to always leave experia play out of there wordings they always say arc and all the others but never the play. They say all 2011 models I no but y not come out wigh a full list of every phone? :-D

Given the play is getting ics a month later you'd assume the beta would be a month behind too would you not?

Don't u think that looks like. Moded gingerbread I think I'll stay with cyangen mod or the other ics.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Why Sony, Why? If it's not broke don't fix it. The stock ICS is the best interface for any android device, if sony take anymore things away it we might as well put leave gingerbread on our phones.
They've basically taken all the Xperia S' UI and ported it to the ICS roms, i really hope they don't fudge this up for the play, in fact they might just leave the play on gingerbread because they don't seem to like releasing stuff for it.

I agree with most of you saying that the Xperia Play has been left out but i'm sure that it's been advertised pretty well ? and even then it doesn't manage to get it self known.
I am dissapointed cause this is a playstation certified smartphone with actual physical buttons and they should have done better with it.
As soon as I flash this rom officially from Sony I'm going to use the AOSP theme, Xperia S theme really is ugly.
