I didn't see this posted anywhere, apologies if I am late, but they have announced a date for PS Mobile.
"PlayStation Mobile users, you may have just felt a brief phantom tug at your wallet. That's because Sony just announced the PlayStation Store for PlayStation Mobile is coming on October 3.
The first countries allowed to access PlayStation Mobile content through the PlayStation Store are Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia. At launch on October 3, there will be 30 games available for download."
http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/19/playstation-store-for-ps-mobile-opens-its-virtual-doors-on-oct/
I've asked this before, but I will ask again. I have a PLAY from Verizon running 2.3.4 and the PS Store app already downloaded (although no access to any games yet here in the US). Does this announcement mean it'll populate my store with games? The reason I ask is because here in the US, we've been kinda screwed. No PSOne games, and 2.3.4 crippled my Gtalk and Play Music. If this update means I can FINALLY download some new games, I'd be a little more happy.
I hope so, if they at least open the market to the u.s. and give us the same game library as other countries that'd be awesome.

Are there any details about these new titles?
I'm thinking it's going to be another app/store to download. This just sounds like something they would do.
I read around Gamescom that Sony announced that they will remove PSOne Classics from the Android PS Store once PS Mobile launches. This also applies to their existing PlayStation Certified devices like the Xperia Play, Xperia S, and their tablets. I find this to be a really dumb move, but maybe they just didn't want to put forth the effort of re-licensing everything for Android or figuring out how to segregate the Vita's store from PS Certified devices. Either way, it looks like the only games that you'll be able to run are the ones that have been available through the Google Play Store.
Really?! good idea, i wanne more ps games
About your situation, well, I think you can find other way to download or install games.
It's live! Has anyone given it a try yet? I kept getting an error when I tried to login until I rebooted the phone.

Thanks! I just found that as well.
Do you know if he tried rebooting after installing it? That seems to have done the trick for me. Although my Play isn't the AT&T version, it's an unlocked R800a that I'm using on AT&T.
I've used it on my Xperia Tablet S (the new one so it's the fully official app/store and everything lol - just to clarify )
TBH.... IMO..... It's not all that... I haven't tried it on my play yet but if the content is anything the same as what i can get on my tablet... then I wont be jumping for joy any time soon
The UI is nicer though... A lot nicer I'm just hoping that better games are on the way :highfive:
This needed to launch this with the xperia play. Now the device is all but dead.
Yeah I too have the Xperia Tablet S where it actually popped up with a notification telling me to install PSM.
As for the Xperia Play I got nothing although I'm on custom Rom xd.
Both devices have the same content btw. Though it's still great to finally have a store

QFT. The Xperia Play could have really been something, but it was so poorly supported that it never went anywhere. And because it didn't do well, we probably won't see a proper successor. That's the part that really kills me. I can only hope that I'm wrong because I would love a Xperia Play 2 with specs like the upcoming Xperia T/TL and a gamepad. Until then, I'm just biding my time because nothing else really interests me.

So I've been ready to upgrade since October last year (ftr, when the xperia play's first projected release date was before they went crazy pushing it back)
I'm tired to the wait for the play to come to AT&T, and there's no way in hell I'm ever going back to Verizon. Are there any severe network issues I'll encounter if I just grab an unlocked GSM one off eBay? ...or any higher end speed opportunities I'd be missing out on by not waiting to get it direct from my carrier?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Nope. The R800a is virtually identical to the R800at that will inevitably come out on AT&T at some point. They use the same frequency bands. The only difference is that the R800at will be AT&T branded and bootloader locked, while the R800a (depending on your source) will be bootloader unlockable and unbranded. I have an R800a on AT&T and no problem using 3G.
The only problem is finding the unbranded/unlocked version. As far as I know the only R800a's out there that match this description came from a developer conference or summit of some kind. There might be a few left on eBay. Your alternative is picking up a Canadian R800a, which is SIM locked to Rogers and bootloader locked. You can SIM unlock it for a fee, and should be able to configure the APN manually for AT&T use.
Whatever you do, don't get the R800i, that is, if you care about 3G. You'll only get EDGE on AT&T
I bought the R800a from another XDA member. Its data speeds are a lot faster than my Inspire 4G was. Plus you don't have to fool with the AT&T bloat and all of the usual stuff.
The warranty will be a lot better if you waited for the at&t. Buying a lemon will ruin your life haha
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
I am using one right now and you wont regret it. The data speeds are actually decent on the network and the call quality is great. Indoor signal strength could be a little stronger but haven't had a dropped call yet in two weeks. I just can't update to 2.3.3 yet.

Reception overall has been terrible for me, and I've had several instances where I drop calls and then reception won't come back for another 2-3 minutes. Could be a network error in my area, but overall, I'm NOT pleased with the reception on my unlocked/unbranded R800a.
Note that you will not be able to update to 2.3.3 (not yet, and no one at SE wants to say when), and you will be locked out of many things in the Playstation Pocket App ("not supported in your region").
No idea how the warranty will work, but SE has been very kind to me over the years in regards to repairs from international/unofficial phones.

It's unofficial of course, and will that method work on an R800a? Won't the radio firmware be different since it's not the R800i? I'm a noob, so be gentle.

All you have do is get the apn setting for the phone company you use and it should work. I have a R800a and works perfectly fine

So I won't have to worry about it saying that something isn't supported in my region?

The Playstation Pocket and Xperia Play app are region set as soon as you connect to a carrier. So on AT&T, you won't see anything in Playstation Pocket at the moment aside from Crash Bandicoot (and search returns back the message "not supported in your region"), but FPSe works better right now anyway. Xperia Play app doesn't show the same titles as in other regions, but you can buy that stuff from other places – Gameloft's site for their games for instance.
emann56 is right, R800a of any kind can now be rooted on 2.3.3. It is unofficial, but it does work. If you want root on your device I'd go through the process 1st before even setting anything up... but that's just me. Reports are that not wiping before flashing causes problems.
So will I run into any complications if I, say, wanted to get the latest Gameloft games? Eternal Legacy, Modern Combat 2, Shadow Guardian, NOVA 2 and Sacred Odyssey are pretty much the major reasons I want this.

Even though my play isn't here, I went ahead and set it as my phone on the Gameloft website, and whenever I try to set up an order for a game (such as Eternal Legacy), I get stuck at the carrier screen where AT&T is not listed.

AT&T blocks non-Market application installs on their branded phones which is why you can't get it to work on your current phone. The R800a is unbranded so you can choose 'Unknown sources' in settings -> applications when you get it to allow direct downloads and installs of Gameloft games (and any other APKs for that matter).

No I know that. I actually have my current phone rooted, cyanogenmodded up and such so non-market apps are a synch.
What I mean is that, since most gameloft games arent on the market, I'm trying to legitimately purchase some gameloft games from gameloft's website and at&t wasn't listed as an option.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I am using a 800a on AT&T now. Once you go onto the gameloft website it will detect you have a Xperia Play and once you purchase it will download the apk and then just install. I even purchased the UK versions while they were on sale a few weeks back and it all works the same. No worries Gameloft games download and work perfect. No AT&T involved. The phone is unlocked.
Thank you all so much!
I have it now, and it's wonderful! I was expecting to have to do all kinds of insane rooting and ROM flashing to get it to a level of competent performance, but unlocked out-of-the-box it's actually working really damn well.
If I root it though, can I wipe out some of the useless stuff? Like the Chinese Keyboard, Get Games, On Demand, Retail Demo, Ringbacks, Setup Guide, TrackID, Widgets On/Off,etc?

Wow... okay.
So I gave my 2.3.2 Xperia Play a GingerBreak and got all them superuser goodies. Went into root explorer and cleaned out all that pre-installed Rogers stuff (that I couldn't even use if I wanted to).
...but my device was having some of the slowest booting ever so I decided to give 2.3.3 a shot... and now my root is gone :'(
I am going to get one of these bad boys from ATT this morning. I was curious if this is the model that I can pay to get the bootloader unlocked, or if this is unknown right now?
I like the idea of a pure vanilla GB, and the idea of throwing CM7 onto this device!
I am sick of waiting around for the gs2, and frankly, I am interested in the emu scene for the Play.
Has anyone got MAME up and running smoothly? I have the full romset of MAME titles from 2005.
TL;DR If I go get the Play from ATT this morning, can I unlock the bootloader and root it straightaway?
The BL unlock has worked in all XPlay models to date, so you can trust it will work for you too.
There are a couple of Mame emulators for your. Pick the one you find best and be happy.

All emus work excellently on the play. Snes/Gameboy/Megadrive/Genesis/Amiga etc etc etc
The up to date emus are thus -
N64oid - bought off slideme (not on market). Works pretty good.
FPSE - bought off market place. Works awseomely.
Native PS1 emu - Use the convertor in the other threads to convert games. Then run games in software mode by editing the preferences.xml file, works excellenty. Even sets up your pocket playstation with pretty icons.
Mame -
Jrioni Arcade - Bought off market. Works excellently. No save states.
Mame4Droid - Free off market. Works excellently. No save states.
Tiger Arcade - Free from his website. Works excellently, although analog controls do not work, so you cant play driving games etc. Save states for paid version, but these currently do not work.
All in all, if you want a portable emulator, this is the best thing on the market at the moment.

The back cover especially seems a bit cheap cause it's flimsy, but in reality the flexibility makes it less likely to crack. The build quality of the gamepad is definitely not cheap though.
Just remember that demo handsets are always abused and the one you buy will feel better.

Are you referring to PS3 PS store or Xperia Play PS store?
No im not on my Play Now but There Is Spyro etc........ I went and signed in and says there is spyro for prurchase if this gave you some info click the like button.
I see people posting about a free game in the store, but I can`t find a free game (UK account), only 11 purchase options at £3.99 each, and apart from driver they are not really big titles.
games on the PS3 PlayStation store are different from the games that show up on the Android PlayStation store
So for a long time the PS Store (if you have it, and it works) has been empty. Well I bought a Sony Tablet S back in December and jumped on the 5 free games from the PS Store at the time. So those 5 games are on my PSN account.
Well this weekend I gave up on R800x UK ROM and flashed Verizons 2.3.4.
Directly afterwards with fastboot, I booted the recoveryplay.img and ran the FreeXperia.zip, then I ran this PS Store.zip. (I do not know if you only need the PS Store APK or if you need to run this .zip file from CWM, but I ran the .zip)
Afterwards I opened the Let's Start PS Store app and downloaded the APK from the website it takes you to. Once downloaded and installed I logged in with my same account from my tablet and while the store front is indeed blank and empty when I clicked on Download List all of my previously downloaded games from my Tablet S were there!
I downloaded them all and they all work. Button controls work also. They also show up in the game launcher.
Other notes: I do have a Japanese and UK PSN. I logged into those also; I was able to download Kula World from the UK PS Store (it is the only UK game on my account that I have downloaded onto my tablet).
I also have downloaded flOw, Piyotama, Ape Escape and some other game on my Japanese PSN PS Store account but they are not available at all on the JPSN PS Store on my Xperia Play.

The games do work on the phone. However in order to download the game, the have to tap on menu => download list. Then you should see the games you own and be able to download them.

Use the Xperia Lounge app (not sure if you have to download that from app store). Then look for the various featured apps, which should ask you to create a Playstation Entertainment Network account (if you don't already have one), but it will provide you a code to redeem the various games, movies, apps, etc).
It took me a while to figure this out too. You need to download the Playstation Mobile app at http://www.playstation.com/psm/store/en.html (I know you already have this. I'm just helping others who might be confused.) and download the games through that app. I was trying to download the games through the Playstation app that came with the phone.
