To show how the Play makes a mug of coffee, what do you think?!
Maybe the point is to show how Cordy looks plays and runs on the Xperia Play? you know, people that might not own a Play yet and want to know how the games run? jeez....

I hate to say it but I too preferred gaming on the iphone 4, a much much much better selection of quality games, online networks like plus, openfeint, game center etc, much better looking games, plus you got all the big name developers and indie developers making games for ios too.
Android gaming is absolute rubbish in comparison to ios, hardly any games or developers, even less quality games, the marketplace is terrible, we get poor ports from ios, none of the big names like backing android.
I love the plays gamepad but there isn't actually that many decent games to even play on it, just lucky gameloft released a few good games!
I honestly can't ever see android gaming taking off, android gaming is a total mess, the idevices already won that fight ages ago.

I didn't know people were actually using the Play to, umm, "play" anything else but emulators.

Smartphone gaming is much more casual-oriented and socially-related than console gaming will ever be, and this includes the XPlay. Plus, it seems much easier to justify spending $5 on a smartphone game than on a console game's DLC.
Sony could make a dent if they could leverage on the PlayStation side of things, but then, they shoot themselves on the foot by separating PSN purchases from the "PS Store" ones. Hell, I bought Medievil already in PSN, why should I be paying for it again for the Play? And why the exact same amount, 5 euros? Have you not amortizised the game enough already???
And let's forget about the PSX old games, what about the Minis? Fitting those in the XPlay PSStore would rapidly fill up the XPlay catalogue with more casual-oriented and socially-related games, many of them exclusive to the system... But again, we're busted. We get three stores, one with old, Sony-only PS1 games which people won't pay for if they have done so in the PSN store; one with its own issues as is the Android Market, and that PlayNow abortion which I can't really understand.
As Newtype says, one would do well in buying this device with open eyes, remembering that its only really perfected use isn't provided by Sony itself, which is emulation gaming. We're buying a Pandora with a phone and a hip design.

Could you play in cordy smoothly? I've got xperia play and this game is really laggy at my phone

remember sega? how big were they when they came out.. now look at them
so the same could happen to Idevices
so your basicly saying just give up if something is better than u..
dont try and be as good as something else or even better it?
competition is one of the main reasons fones and consoles are as good as they are today

Sega was killed by piracy not competition ......

i didnt say what they was killed by
was just saying how big they were and now there not
same as idevices big now but who know what the future brings

Playstation 1 and 2 were one hell of a lot more pirated than Sega's consoles, or Nintendo's as well. Who pirated Genesis, MegaCD, Sega Saturn, N64 games?
Piracy is a consequence of popularity... It cannot kill companies, no matter how good an excuse it makes. Sega was killed by its own mistakes with the MegaCD/Saturn generation, and they didn't have something like Nintendo's GameBoy cash cow to subsidise that failure. The Dreamcast was a beautiful swan song...

Should I buy a brand new X10i for $200?

Hi all,
I have the choice of buying a brand new X10i for $200 outright.. Sealed in the box and everything. Do you guys think it's a good deal?
From the youtube videos, it seems that the official Gingerbread ROM is a little laggy. If I installed CM7 or some other custom ROM on it, would it perform better? With 3G enabled, is it easy to get a full day's worth of battery life with medium/heavy usage? I do a lot of browsing/messaging (having GMail/Google Calendar sync enabled is a must) and take some photos, but I'm not a gamer at all.
I'd appreciate any feedback!

Yeah. x10 i nice phone and that price isn't bad. I almost paid 560+euros when it released.
But. X10 touchscreen isn't best you can't play fine some fps games like sandstorm because screen is mean only one touch(yes there is dual touch, but it doesnt help thing). And no its not laggy, stock x10 is laggy but modded no. there is some really nice roms.
Mine battery lifetime is fine. One or two days with one charge. 3g enabled, when I use phone. playing games.. browsing web.. calls..sms.. Rom is zdzihu's zmod.

no don't buy it for more than $100....
Put that money towards a good phone

What other phones you can get there with that money? what are your other options?
I think X10 can handle what you want, You can install CM7 Z MOD which is insanely faster than stock & I think you can get up to one day battery life with 3g enabled & medium/heavy usage considering that you don't game & really it's a good thing you don't game because of battery life & also the fact that X10 is not really good for gamers specially its buggy dual touch may drive you nuts in some games, But with all these being said the question remains: what are your other options? maybe you can buy a better phone with that money

For $200 for a brand new sealed-in-box phone, I don't know if there are any comparable alternatives. My selection is somewhat narrow, since I need a phone with UMTS 1700.
The store only has 5 left in stock, and I think the sale ends today... Tough choice
I just want a reliable phone that I can use to browse, send/receive emails, use Google Calendar, snap some reasonably nice photos, use GPS once in a while when I go on trips, and last all day on a single charge. Even a Blackberry can do most of that... But an Android phone is just more fun and has more capabilities in case I ever need them in the future.

Well with the stock firmware, x10's are sh*t. But if your root and install a custom rom, for instance CM7 (or my miui rom ;D) it's a different phone.
An x10 has the same processor and GPU as the Nexus One and HTC Desire, but the touchscreen is lacking. It only has dual touch and as soon as there is a drip of water on the screen it's very hard to use it.
Imo you should save up money for like an Galaxy s2, but If you dont want that, then get the x10.

CM7 makes it very smooth! If you don't want the best, most expensive phone, but a good looking one that can do everything YOU need. Yes x10 is a good choice. I can do easily more then 1 day with heavy use, gaming, browsing wifi, and stuf... If you can get for the same price a phone with better hardware, for sure don't choose the x10. If you don't want to spend more, again, take the x10. What should I else say?

Thanks for the advice, guys... I decided against the purchase.

Well I can say it worth the price but keep in mind no ics for us and you can get a better phone in used condition stock rom s*cks big time but as soon as you get a custom kernel and a miui rom you will fall in love whit your phone and battery life isn't the best but can easily get 7-8 hours on a single charge the camera is great honestly that was one of the main reason why I bough it

I would not buy it. Since isnt getting anymore udates and so on. I would keep my money untill i have enough to buy myself a newer phone. That is my oppinion. The other can think as they want.

i didnt regret when i bought my x10, but there are much better phones out there, so buy one of them..

Well for Taking pics its really good and this phone can get the basic things done such as email checking or browsing the web however touch screen is kinda ****ty :/ battery life is ok but its all up to you! If you need this phone for a little of time like a year it will do the job !

have you tried using emulators ? try super mario or games that need to push the dpad and b or a buttons at the same time. x10 sucks in games that is facts

Then and Now

This is my opinion about Xperia Play's rise from it's announcement until now.
Then:
Xperia Play was at the time of it's announcement the long-expected "PlayStation Phone", the phone that could also play PSP games. Unfortunately, it wasn't like that, so most of the people who were excited about this phone had lost all their interest. Only a few remained interested in this phone at it's beginning and so it is that XPlay's popularity has been so low on the first three months. At that time it was seen as:
- A phone with the last Android version that time - 2.3.2
- It had just a few optimised games, already known by others
- It had only a PSX game
- A thick phone with a bad design
- It was almost as expensive as iPhone (between $750 and $800)
Now:
Although no one could imagine a phone that was already labeled as a dissapointment could be 10 times better after some months, it changed a lot. At this point I would say to others that you can't even compare XPlay with Vita, because it's far much better. More and more people are becoming interested again and it's popularity is rasing to the top. It was the work of SE company and developers that brought up this phone's popularity and awesomeness. XPlay now has or will have:
- Android 4.0 (upcoming)
- Ability to fully play PC games with OnLive
- Lots of software changes made by SE through updates (like the 720p filming)
- Lots of mods which made our lifes easier made by devs D)
- Ability to play PSX titles through PSXPeria and FPse
- Ability to play PSP and PSX original games through PlayStation Pocket (upcoming)
- Over 200 optimised games
- Some games were for a period of time XPlay only
- The price went down a lot (now it's between $380 and $420)
Also Merry Christmas everyone!

This is true... however I always had faith in the phone getting better.
There were just so many people who were impatient and wanted to throw their toys on release day and have a cry and then sell the phone... Obviously weren't real gamers to begin with.

Agreed,while it may not have the "best" hardware,its still a powerful phone with the only PlayStation Certified controls.

But the phone was marketed to them. Sony didn't really try to push it for gamers only. look at the advertising, Kristen Schaal playing two roles, the slogan "Everything you need and the one thing you want"... None of that is designed to appeal to hardcore teen gamers, but to a more adult audience.

To be honest I wasn't disappointed with the phone when it came out, I was just stoked I could beat the first level of Super Mario 3 without wanting to throw my phone in anger.
But like a fine wine it got better with age.

$380? Its going at around €200 in the EU. Got mine for €160 unlocked myself.
Also the phone has flaws, and networks seem to be dropping it. Not worth €500 IMO. Worth €160? Id happily pay €240 for it tbh

He hasn't said that..but this phone was never worth five hundred euros. At its current price It's probably the greatest bargain in terms of price-quality alongside with the now defunct Xperia Neo. I'm yet to see a better bang for the buck ratio in any other brand.

Exactly - it was worth maybe €450 at a push on release. But at the current price, its amazing value, I mean you wouldnt get a Nexus or Desire for that, and they are far worse devices.

Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

Far as I'm concerned, it is perfect.
I've always wanted a device that's truly all-in-one. I'm talking about something that navigates, plays music, plays movies, sorts/views pictures, checks my e-mail for all my accounts, can stream all sorts of media to and from the device, takes care of all my office needs, records video in HD, allows video chat, social networking, group chats, provides a prime web browsing experience, allows me to check my bank balance, lets me take notes, record lectures, does all the phone basics, allows true voice control, lets me quickly jot down notes, allows easy access to the file system, AND plays games with a sense of tactility, responsiveness and precision... without any kind of ridiculous external controller that must be separately charged, assembled and/or paired.
No other phone or game device does that. None.
This does all that... with smooth operation in everything from games to day-to-day menus, great battery life, various UIs that are so infinite in possibility that I switch them roughly every week, simplicity, enough ability to customize so that the device works itself around me (and not the other way around - hear that Apple iOS?) and a level of consistent competence that makes me wonder if there's any point in a phone stronger than this.
I started off very critical, and this thing has passed at everything I've thrown at it with flying colors. There is absolutely nothing else on the market that does this as well as the Xperia PLAY does. Other solutions bring physical controls to smartphone gaming, but they ALWAYS have **** support outside of emulators... not a single one has over non-emulated 200 games, and not a single one operates without all that pairing nonsense.
I could complain about the 400MB of memory, but with the ADB trick I've hit 183 installs and still haven't taken up enough memory to make it say I'm running out of space. I could complain that it's not a dual-core, but the only people that'd really complain about that are the entry-level G4TV-watching tech-newbies who don't know how a good GPU/RAM can change the tides when processor strength initially looks small... with games like Dead Space running so smoothly, seems like tossing in a stronger processor would be detrimental to the battery life before it actually does anything useful.
So yeah... I'm satisfied

I actually agree. It gained its hype although no one really noticed it during its launch. But since the price has gone down to £160 im sure it's going to get alot of attraction now

TBH if it was marketed to teen gamers there would have been no way in hell I would have bought it.
I am an old school gamer and wanted a good mobile for work and for gaming.
The only 2 things I wish the device had was 12mp Camera and an HDMI port. But will be definitely be buying the X Play 2... But now that Sony has taken over the mobile division it is more likely to be an actual "PlayStation phone".

i do agree , i think we all agree
imagine that you have a phone with 8 core (( CPU )) , how you can enjoy with your phone when you have to touch screen for play games ?!!
beside how can you see your screen when your finger is on that !!
any way ,
i think it xperia play have very good design whit good hardware ...
but now
i think we all need sony's exclusive games , not android global games , just imagine great games on xperia play , like " god of war - resistance - locoroco - little big planet - patapon - uncharted - grand turism..." and other company's games " like silent hill ... "
it's time for sony to show its ability on games world .
i don't know guys , are you agree with me! but i want to say : SONY,WE WANT YOUR EXCLUSIVE GAMESSSSSSSSS

psp games when are those coming?

Does anyone else feel like the xplay sucks for FPS?

I love me some modern combat. But where is was good with the touchscreen on my old phones I feel like I get my ass handed to me constantly. I have had my xplay for 6 months now and play mc most of the time. So far I just feel like I am the fish in the barrel getting shot at. Playing campaign no worries. Online and I just get pissed off. Plus I find it total bs to see people getting g 53 frickin kills in a100 kill game.

Those touchpads are hideous. Sure, they'll work in a pinch, but trying to play against other people using them? No way. Can we convert them into thumbsticks at all? Any sort of accessory?

There are two versions of MC2.one with good controls and one with horrible (shadowgun) controlls. I find playing online enjoyable and I always finish in the top 3...altho that might be my sweet fps skills

Hardly. Developers can suck at using the touchpads properly, but the actual technology is great. Starting off as a total scrub on Modern Combat 3 online, I was pulling off scores and manuevers that I have never been able to do on any other handheld FPS.
EDIT: and yeah, MC2 would give a bad impression if you had any update after 3.3.9 (they started the version count back to 1.0.4+ in all the "broken" new versions).
Sent from my R800a using XDA App

The games are great, MC3, Dead Space, etc but yes I find it difficult to play these games using the 'analogue / touchpads / etc' thingys I can only describe as 'male nipples'!
I'm impressed with the games itself, the graphics for a phone is impressive but until we have better nipples to play with I'm gonna stick to emulators or games that don't use them

Sorry I was reffering to Modern Combat 3. I specifically use the older Modern Combat 2 version where the controls were decent, the version prior to GL destroying the controls. But yeah sorry I should have clarified I am strickly meaning MC3. And I wrote this thread after I just got out of a online game where everyone was like 7 or 8 kills and one guy had 53 kills which I think is bumpkiss. Anyone know if Iphone users and android users play online together? Reason I ask is becuase Iphone users are able to hack their games to do all sorts of stuff, run faster faster, shoot fire out of a handgun, all head shots, etc. Also I really wish that GL would allow users to play against other users within the same rank online. Its BS when you see new inexperienced users playing aginst others far more experienced. It makes online play not fun at all, and I have emailed GL asking them to implement a ranking system that lets you play with other users of similar rank. Never got a reply, of course.
Oh and if it seemed like my first post sounded angry I was. I was pissed and frustrated, this is/was a pissed off thread I was venting. Guess I was just mad because people tell me " I wont play a shooting game with you because you have a PSP phone and you will kick my ass", but my ass is the only one that gets kicked online. Again not mad anymore just annoyed. I play online constantly. If anyone wants to play online with me some time my GL username is the same as my XDA username. Hope to see you all on the Digital Battlefield.

The first games on the Xperia play had little to no support for those touch pads, they were rubbish, Although now, a lot of developers are working it out, Take EA, they have great games for the xperia play.

I agree. EA has done an awesome job with the controls. Much better on their first attempts then GL and they 7 or 8th attempt. Dead Space has excellent use of the controls. And the graphics are sweet. I am really looking forward to The Virtual Tennis by Sega. I still play my Dreamcast to this day and have great times with the Tennis game on it.

I should have clarified I am strickly meaning MC3. And I wrote this thread after I just got out of a online game where everyone was like 7 or 8 kills and one guy had 53 kills which I think is bumpkiss. Anyone know if Iphone users and android users play online together? Reason I ask is becuase Iphone users are able to hack their games to do all sorts of stuff, run faster faster, shoot fire out of a handgun, all head shots, etc.

Well with the iPhone players can use the gyroscope for aiming. That would give them a huge edge but I don't think that that's the case because GL would heavily advertise(yeah I'm American, Yank, fat, whatever *yawn*) that it has cross play.
People can hack and cheat on Android as easily as they do on iOS. I saw a guy who could run 10x faster than every else but I didn't report him because he was on my team and we won because of him lol. And besides, GL will most likely not respond to my email or do anything about it...
I've seen guys get 40+ kills with nothing but headshots. While I do accept that there are guys that are that good, I highly doubt that they would spend the amount of time that they do on MC3 instead Call of Duty (unless they'are cheating of course).
I've seen people cheat on other Android games.

Have you ever tried using the gyroscopic aiming? It's really not practical at all. Matter of fact, pretty much everyone I've shown it to on my iPod Touch thinks it's a horrible gimmick that they'd never use seriously.

I have an iPod Touch as well. Once you've master gyroscopic controls on a fps, it'll make you a formidable foe. It's easier to look around and get headshots.

Dead Space works flawlessly with the Touch Analog pads.
Thing is with some games it doesn't work that well such as Gameloft games.

Well obviously,it doesn't have analog sticks.
Those touch pads are there so you won't cover the screen with your moving thumbs,not just to mimic analog sticks.

Has anyone tried the icontrol pad analog sticks? They have to be better than these "man nips" lol

Ok guys heres the word on the street.
TLDRTheory loves the touch pads. he thinks the are the best thing since sliced blogna...
The only game I find enjoyable / easy to use is FIFA 12 or other overhead games like age of zombie / fifia 12
The FPS games suck, the only one ever considered decent by gamers was Rainbow 6 and even then it's like way to ****ty. Without auto aim you can barely get a lock on a moving target and I'm not joking.
I guess it's a fair deal tho because everyone has to stop moving to take aim so really everyone is at a disadvantage because of the sloppy game system
My opinion is that the control things are crap. Even if the developer can use them right most of the time it's hard as hell and not even fun anymore.
Whats the point in playing a game if no fun? Yup exactly, NONE!
so yeah I agree with OP. FPS on this game are ****e
even the "good" ones still have problems because of the nature of the beast.

I do love playing FPS shooters on the Xplay im just saying it feels like despite the fact you would think we have an advantage over touchscreen users, it seems like we are the ones at a disadvantage. Maybe if a developer makes a FPS and does an ass kicking job in tweaking the touchpads we might have an edge then... but again if that or when that happens

*Yawn* ...oh, you again.
First of all, the saying is "Best thing since sliced bread," and I've never said anything about being in love with them. When put in the hands of a competent developer, they serve their purpose. Just because I say they work doesn't mean I prefer them over a more tactile solution.
For what it's worth, I'd actually have rather had twin analogs more akin to what's featured on the iControlPad... but since Xperia PLAY's software support is about 5x more than what iControlPad has, Xperia PLAY it is.
Second, have you played any FPS released in the past decade? Even the most popular, most highly acclaimed series out (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3) integrates auto-aim, so you've already failed if what you aim to prove is that Xperia PLAY's integrates auto-aim out of poor quality.
Even still, it's not like auto-aim is a necessity to have precise aiming on Xperia PLAY. Dead Space on Xperia PLAY already proved that; without a doubt, there's a such thing as a control scheme competent enough such that you can lock on for headshots without having computer-aided guidance.
Yeah, some games need auto-aim... but that's because their touchpad integration wasn't made as responsive as EA's was in Dead Space. If Gameloft ever stepped up to that level, Modern Combat, Shadow Vanguard, NOVA 2, BiA2 and all the rest could ditch their aim assistance... that's a developer-side issue, not a fault of the hardware.

I guess I'm in the minority but I feel the control pad is an advantage. I generally suck at FPS games but having played MC2 online numerous times, I have had quite a few matches where I held my own. I never really got frustrated about not being able to get kills, and I enjoy them. Either the people I'm playing against suck, or theres something good to these analog touchpads. Just my 2 cents....

I think it's really bad with Modern Combat 3, I hate touch screen controls, but the analog sticks are just way below par. Minecraft on the other hand, feels like a dream!

What Do Other People Think Of Your Play?

Was looking for something that went underneath the Sofa and couldn't be asked to find a torch so used the Rear 'LED' Flash light, much to the amazement of others as they thought it was incredibly brighter compared to their iCraps.
What other things have people said about your Play?

AW: What Do Other People Think Of Your Play?
This phone has for other people mostly a nerd, gamer and no-life factor

Well a lot of people like the gamepad. When you mention games like GTA, some peoples interest increases. Through all the tweaks and various great work of the developers on here, my phone runs quite smooth and handles well meaning it isn't really trashed for being old and outdated. It does lag or slow down sometimes but i guess that's to be expected. Some just call it a "PSP phone"

One time someone was even thinking that it can run every game from PSP, not tech guy tho
Some people are whining about outdated hardware, but when I ask them what can their phone do which mine can't they can't really say and they always play games which don't even need sd data
Other people say that not many games are optimised for it, I ask for example and then after they hear that almost every example is optimised they shut up
Other people agree with me that it's the best phone for gaming.
My Best Friends are bit jealous of 4 different roms of any choice (gb, ics, jb) but they don't play as hard as I do on phone even though they agree that it is a good phone.
Overall opinion is poor but after I slide the game pad people realise what it is and mostly they change their opinion to good/very good.

Everyone that asks me what phone do I have, after I open the slider, they realize that no matter what phone they have, just looks like a toy (with expensive/unnecessary gadgets to accomplish what the integrated gamepad of the XPlay does) in front of my Xperia Play.
In my country/area there are a generalized gaming culture, so that's the cause of this reaction.
Yeah, never missing that person that thinks it can run PSP games (although thanks to PPSSPP maybe in the future, at least struggling), the form factor deceives anyone

Everyone was always like Whoa a gamepad? Thats awsome!
So how powerfull was this phone? Hahaha nevermind ill keep my dual / quad core phone.
Yet it runs every game i want to play and keeps me entertained during the long busrides.

It's usually like this:
- Hey, what's your phone model?
- Uhm.. it's just a 2011 xperia...
- Oh, an arc or something?
- It's actually a play...
-
I don't even know why they drool so much over it, anyways

In my case... my friends say it's a dead phone... coz nowadays you can find better things for the same price...

The Nexus 4, which is one of the best phones you can buy is $300 dollars.

Most of them are jealous, even though they say "I don't play with my phone". Of course not. Playing with touchscreen is horrible...

LOL... they just tell me... Why do I need that gamepad... I can use my PS3 controller... pfff... I imagine them with a PS3 gamepad on their pockets XD

My sis thinks its cool and she almost bought one for herself but went with Neo instead (because she didnt want to have the same phone as I did)
Yeah, surprisingly many people get excited when they see GTA 3 on it, few people wanted to go even more indepth than games and appearance (like specs)
Also before I had bought my XPlay, some cellphone store worker was interested about XPlay when we asked did they have any (they only had Arc), he said its a shame they are not selling it because he would have loved to try it out or even buy it. This was way after XPlay's retail release, like 6 months afterwards so he was genuinely interested about it.

On top of the one I said, a Common one is that its a Brick!

Unless you really need the money, I would keep the phone. It's really a one of a kind.
I remember the first time I took my PLAY out of the box.. it was so beautiful, I simply couldn't put it down. Whenever I pick this phone up again and just look at it, I still get that feeling of how special it is. I own quite a few 'nice' phones, but none of them give me that sensation of awesomeness that the Xperia Play does. That's why I will never part with it.

Really? Because all the recent notable Play Store releases from Modern Combat 4, Aralon, Scaresoul, ME: Infiltrator, Dark Knight Rises, NOVA 3, Dead Trigger, Repulze all the way up to Bladeslinger runs like a dream on Xperia Play, and there's been topics dedicated to Xperia Play running current-gen games with extraordinary performance.
What'd YOU do to your Xperia Play to get current games running at 10FPS?
I got a stock ROM without as much as Chainfire, and Xperia Play handles 'em like they were made for it.
