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.

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

The update may come from Verizon, but I'm guessing that they give Samsung a list of what they want the update to include (bloatware, settings, etc.) and Samsung is the one responsible for getting the update out with Verizon's specs. While I'd agree that you can't believe it until it's mentioned specifically, if they say all carriers and actually mean it, then it's better than nothing.
So after much thought I have decided to at least keep this phone until LTE. It has probably the most truly capable hardware ever put n a phone. The CPU/ Gpu is great. The camera/ camcorder is second only to iPhone. Screen is great. But Samsung lack of support for their products is discouraging at the least. The phone came out after phones with froyo(D2 ) had already launched. I love this phone. See why people hate Samsung

If we are rooted, will the update take without doing something special?
Sent from my Fascinate
more than likely not. As I am sure you have removed the bloatware. In all I would say the easiest thing would be to Odin back to stock with Odin(when the update comes). That would ne the easiest.

My current gf's upgrade is due and she's elgible for the phone surprisingly! I was considerng dropping my sexy, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing epic 4g on her and taking off with the 4ton4g! I played around with it a bit yesterday at the sprint store and I literally jizzed in my briefs!(false story) I'm strongly considering taking it though! Has any one played around with it as of late? First impressions?

I don't know if I would call the phone 'ugly' but it's certainly different. The screen...well, no one can really compete with Sammy's screen, let's get real here. Locked bootloader = fail IMO. I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?
I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
I hope it's a rockin phone for those that get it, I just won't be one of them.
locked bootloader = fail
I literally just got mine in the mail the ups guy just knocked on the door I'm about to open it up now......gotta love working for a third party sprint dealer. Korey has it and loves it. Unfortunately only way to root right now is having the media dock which is 100 bones but I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I actually feel about the phone.
Gonna miss my keyboard but I'm going to keep my epic for dev/testing purposes.....
I don't know display is really pixelated and lock bootloader sux
I honestly could not buy it. My epic right now runs smoother. Just based on the reveiws the galaxy s2 is much better than the other duel core phones.

so i love my xperia play, came from the droid eris (loved the devs and all the roms)
so WHY CAN"T VERIZON UPDATE TO 2.3.4!!!???!
i just want 720p (even if its fake) video record...and better battery life...
other than verizon, love the phone, its all that i hoped it could be!
Most updates from Big Red typically take longer than their foreign/GSM counterparts, and for this reason I no longer wait/anticipate updates because it's only a matter of time before we see anything.
Why it takes so long I can only imagine. Either SE has to load additional bloatware via Red's request or they have to install the mind-altering code which sends brain control signals via WiFi/Blutooth.
I'm pretty sure this will also hold true with ICS starts rolling out for the Play.
i know, i'm trying not to think how long it will be before we see ICS, but right now it would make me happy to get one update
i've heard (looking through vzw forums) that verizon made it part of the deal with SE to own and push the updates, thats why we are the only ones with a stock looking gingerbread...
in anycase, i'm more than happy with the phone
Why not just get wontanserver and look if there is a 2.3.4 for your phone? I didnt wait for my carrier, you shouldnt either.
has anyone done this with verizon? still get txt/mms and call service?

With gsIII specs released today, it didn't seem all too impressive. Maybe, hopefully, that will cause more devs to stay with HTC, more of them to focus on S-off. I know xhausx has vowed to work on it, that's def encouraging.

Htc lost the bid Samsung has a standing agreement with Google to be the sole producer of nexus for a while coming, because Google doesn't like htcs bull**** anymore than we do HTC said the nexus would ship locked and Google withdrew their contract after Sammy promised to not lock down any of their handsets based on android , plus lte doesn't hit my area til phase 2 rollout this fall so I'm in no hurry to get a new device til I have Lte available
Edit: my dads company has over 20k employees nationwide, none of which will receive an HTC device on company provided accounts I talked their corporate account rep into denying HTC upgrades on buisness lines unless the employee pays for it out of pocket

I think you're partially correct and partially incorrect. If my understanding is correct, they have a bootloader unlock, but it only partially unlocks it, making things still difficult for devs to work with. They didn't straight-up lie, but they told a half truth I guess.

Yeah, the Atrix forum is pretty much nothing but goodbye threads and stupid ICS questions. And the occasional zombie thread because of maggedo's many alt accounts.
Well I'm still lurking around, but as you can see from my sig line, I have an Asus Padfone now. Love this thing. But I'll never let go of my Atrix-- it's serving duty now as my TV's "set-top-box" with it's HDMI dock and Bluetooth keyboard. Also since it supports USA bands, I use this when I go back to the States. I still hope it can get some ICS or JB love, but I dunno...
