I just don't get why game developers won't support their old games. They could make money using old games that people still trade and torrent today instead of canceling support for them. Nice find OP.

So we can happily say that the Xperia PLAY is not dead yet !

I don't know...I think it's a way to divert attention AWAY from the XPlay actually. When PSSuite came out the Play got/has gotten the least support. I don't see this changing that.

PSMobile/PSSuite is a cross platform emulator for games. So, all PSCertified devices WILL have the same psmobile games. Our phone will be supported in this!

That's not true. Out of all the ps certified devices Xperia play has the most content in store.
Sent from my LT26i (Xperia S) with less PlayStation games/content then Xperia play using xda premium

Yea, maybe in the UK. PSSuite/PSMobile has never been too good towards the PLAY. It's a royal joke.

Try to understand what I'm saying here. There are hardly any ps1 games in the PSSuite already for me so this isn't gonna change much. You already have tons of games available in your PSSuite.

Am I to guess you mean because you and I are in the USA, while those who are not in the US have access to the PS store? For Verizon users we have never had access to and never will. I have used the permissions from 2.3.4 on my 2.3.3 and been able to load it but it still gives an error everytime. So instead of worrying about the PS Store I just convert the PS1 games I already own at home to work on my PLAY via the conversion tool, zpak file an apk.....Grandia here I come.

Just that Grandia is bada$$. As much as FF7 is good, I much prefer Grandia for the story, doesnt have the nicest graphics by any means.... but its always been a favorite of mine.
By the way, are you using an AT&T XP or the R800i (international)? Just curious
---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------
So if this planned PS Mobile actually does support the PLAY, not saying I think it will despite it being listed, does that mean that the PS1 games I bought on my PS3 I can play them on my PLAY?

Yes, R800x, R800at users can install the PS store apk but it wont load. It gives us an error when loading it. So unless say for examply Sony were to unlock the access to the PS Store in the US, as currently it is and has always been restricted, then I can see how it might work. But the other problem is that Xperia PLAY users in the US do not have 2.3.4 AT&T users might be able to flash a 2.3.4 rom to their phones allowing access to load the app, but R800x users 2.3.4 updated breaks all Google sync and makes it in my opnion unacceptable to use. So R800x users are really stuck on 2.3.3, and at 2.3.3 you cannot run the PS Store. I have tried repeastedly to push the permissions files from PS store from a 2.3.4 rom and it will load but upon the initial screen it force closes. So what I am saying is that R800at users can get to use the store but R800x users will most likely be screwed, unless Sony unlocks the store to run on 2.3.3
Not trying to rant just trying to make it clear the situation, obviously though its not worth bantering on and on about it at this point we will just have to wait and see what transpires of this..

I am still running 2.3.4 on my R800x, while the Google sync issue sucks, it does sync twice a day on its own, it just doesn't live sync at all.

I am aware it sync twive a day, just saying that in my opinion I personally would not use it as I do a lot of business email on my phone and it would be a pita to have to manually sync every few minutes. Obviously I might be more dependant to it than others.
Just to be sure have you tried installing/loading the PSstore app and if so does it work for you?

Playstation Suite

Anyone following the Sony liveblog from Engadget? I really recommend you guys check it out, as there are some things being announced which are going to impact Android in amazing ways.
http://www.engadget.com/liveblog/live-from-sonys-tokyo-event/
Update: Basically, Sony just dropped a bombshell that brought an amazing amount of games to Android, obviously to compete against both Windows Phone 7 having Xbox integration and against Apple's formidable App Store. How, UNLIKE Sony to be thinking ahead.

I'm sure we will get it, 2 years from now when the 2.3 update comes out... :/
This has the potential to be enormous for Android, and for handheld gaming in general. The only concerns I have are:
1) The number of handsets that will have access, and if Cyanogenmod will count among them.
2) Piracy. As rampant as it was on the PSP and NDS (and yes, it was rampant), there is no doubt pressure within SCEA to take more advanced measures in combatting it. Android isn't the most securable platform at the moment (see: Netflix), and though I too am weak to 'unlimited' trial periods on games (hah), for this to really drive Android, it NEEDS to be profitable.
Hopefully the cost of games will be more in line with existing digital downloads than with past off-the-shelf prices.
I think it's great the Sony is supporting Android to such a degree. But, the PSX emulator is already out in the market. It's been out for quite some time now. Some of the roms don't work though. Hopefully, with official Sony support, all of the roms will work.
I would buy an official psx emu straigh from sony than anyone made by a third party (I don't mean offense, I have the emulator and enjoy), even though I paid for one already. I'd even buy the games straight from the sony store if they're priced good enough

PSx emulator is not hardware accelerated. You can be sure than an official emulator will be.

My thoughts exactly when I saw the PSPhone. I would much rather have a dedicated game pad than a keyboard.
My only problem with convergence devices is that if it breaks, you lose your phone, your game player, your music/media player all at the same time.

Agreed. Most games I play work, but not flawlessly.
As far as I was aware it was only going to *start* with PSOne games, but it also provided a hardware-neutral API. I think Sony is gonna market this to developers as the framework for gaming on Google's Android as well as their own PSP/NGP platform.

Where are all the Play games?

Wow, I tested the device and am loving it. However I didn't see too many games for it. And clue where to find them?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Not too much is out there yet. If you search the Market for "Xperia play" you should find a few. I suspect that the big slew of games will come with the E3 in two weeks.

try killing all active applications before launching the game.
I had frame rate issues the other night with asphalt6 and after killing most active tasks it ran fine.
If you go to the Xperia Play app, either by launching it or opening the slider, you can hit the Market button at the top right of the app which will take you to the Android Market. It does a search for "XPERIA PLAY optimized" and gives you the results.
There are tons of normal games that work with the gamepad also.

Are there any Gameloft games in the market? I would rather buy from there than from Gameloft's website.
I believe they are just on their website. Or if you have a Verizon PLAY, they are available right in the VCast store if you wanted to use that instead.
one thing id like to see if a sorta xperia play website, with forums and community features.
like the N-Gage had.
i dont know where to go for news on the xperia play. is there a official blog i just cant find?

You can add the price of purchase to your phone bill, meaning you do not have to give credit card details to random person on market place.
One reason i have never bought anything from marketplace is that you can not purchase through phone bill.

Amazon free app of the day.

Not specifically xperia related, but I thought the community here might be interested.
Amazon's free app of the day (9/29/2011) is Symphony of Eternity. It's an RPG in the style of 16 bit greats like Final Fantasy VI. I played a few minutes of it, and it seemed pretty cool.
Get the app store from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
Where's the link?
It is kinda Xperia related too, since you can use the Xperia PLAY controls for some of it's maneuvering.
You have to get it through the amazon app store, which you can get from Amazon.com.

I bought it. It's the finest RPG you're going to find in the Xperia Play, which is not saying much.

That's far, far from the truth IMO. Eternity isn't even the finest released by kemco since Eve of the Genesis was released. Then there's eternal legacy which has been extremely ambitious and rewarding, then an absolute deluge of quality action rpgs from gamevil. Gailardia brings some classic dragon quest style gaming in the mix, and there's likely even more I could grab from my list when I'm on the full version of this site.
Point is, Xperia PLAY has quite a nice arrangement of RPGs for being as new as it is.

Amazon App Store free app of the day is great.
I've got so many useful apps, paid games and Xplay optimised games for free from it.

Thats funny because I remember when ICS was pulled for the Play and you said that Sonys motto shouldnt be "make.believe" but "dont.believe" and you werent going to buy another Sony product again.......
Anyway, the Play was a failure. An experiment following in the N-Gage footsteps. Apart from all the people in the Play section on XDA and my brother I dont know a single other person with a Play.

So you cant just buy a USB gamepad? They are just as good as the Play gamepad. I also find it very hard to believe that at 28 years old you cannot buy a console for your home.
Sorry to break it to you but what company would release a follow-up to a commercial failure? Nokia failed on the N-Gage then decided to revamp the N-Gage brand in the N95 series. It FAILED AGAIN. The mobile market is advancing faster than most other things right now so a "gaming optimised" device will only be top-of-the-line for a few months before being surpassed. It reminds me of the PC market. A New PC is outdated the second its made.
People need to drop the "Play 2" thing as its really getting old now.

More than expected? They mustnt have expected to shift very many then. Dont get me wrong, I love the Play but it was still a failure. I remember asking not long after the Play came out in my local Carphone Warehouse store and 3 months after launch they had shifted 1 Play. A similar story can be read here http://m.mobot.net/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-sales-figures
With absolutely piss poor sales there will not be a Play 2 and Sony would have to be absolutely retarded if they made one

Sony is split into different divisions. The Console/Handheld division is the side plagued with idiocy. Removing features from PS3 such as OtherOS install and lack off cross-game chat. The Vita is failing already due to Nintendo pretty much holding monopoly of the market.
The mobile division is doing ok though. I know quite a few happy Xperia series users. Sony were smart not releasing ICS on the Play due to the gamepad messing up. Some people have this thought that they are entitled to every single update that is released by Android. It comes down to peoples stupid buying ideas of buying for what the device can do in the future instead of buying it for what it can do at the time of release.

Dude, you're like the only other person on this forum who also doesn't believe his crap. I said it directly to him in his thread about how so many files are byte-identical to Arc S firmware, among other things I've caught him out on; he just ignores me.
This thread should be locked, it's complete balderdash and a preconception of the 50/50 obvious. *Nobody* knows if Sony will release another Android gaming phone except for High-up Sony staff, which Mark is *not* in contact with.

Haha so true if theyed stop the bullcrap the could be more of a competitor to nintendo but like you said they just keep up the bull the main problem is there lack of sofware for the hardware. The best example of this is the xperia play aka psm disaster lol psm actually disgusts me now ps1 was ok but what in the flying hell is on there now talk about. GARBAGE same reason the vita is failing just no games. Nintendo on the other hand has games out the assssss

I for one am 25 and a seperate gamepad is out of the question. First off im a delivery driver and bust it out for quick sessions between deliverys, I already have to bring a gps(i go where theres no cell data) a work phone, and my phone. Im not going to carry around another item just to play a quick round IIF I have time. Sometimes I just want to try a save state once or twice literally 20secs.
Same with when I go mountain biking, or snowboarding I already have multiple items I dont want or may not even remember a seperate controller. And I may not have time or even want to get a little emulation time in. Same with surfing if I by chance am waiting in the car, these things are relatable to many other times your outside.
A phone with a slide out is always nthing else to remember, not to mention at 26 and most my friends arent into emulation or gaming really so im not about to start busting put a gamepad and akwardly having my phone clipped or on my lap and pretend its not pretty odd. I would never do that at waiting rooms like the dmv either, I dont mind people know im a gamer but that just seems rediculous to me unless your at home or in a car. Seems like it would draw attention when I for one am trying to chill blend in.
Meanwhile with a slideout it just looks like im texting like a regular person non fanatic gamer.
