Xperia Play for AT&T: Hands On

[Genixel]

Because Apple are fucking with FCP and ditching professionals, I think I might get this next instead of the next iPhone.

But I'm not all that into gaming to give much of a crap...and my 3GS still works so I probably won't get a new phone for a while.

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

I find funny how this prototype PLAY has the buttons basically rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. Weird...

[Genixel]

@ComputerLunarVidGamR It's a prototype, it was probably assembled by someone in the Western world who doesn't assemble phones all day.

Well...I'm pretty sure that a lot of prototypes are made wherever the offices are. You can't just get a big Chinese factory to assemble a few devices.

[Negroprime12]

Wow that guy is a dick

[nathaniel7563]

Original Xperia Play is better than this Prototype Xperia Play.. Right guys??

[UBSNAPPY]

How much money do u have?

[xbausox]

Fuckin getting this tomorrow

[beckham9018]

When does this comeout!?

[cars959]

Wtf y are the x o /\ [] keys in the wrong place?

[GameReviews267]

Awesome. My parents wouldn't let me get it because they thought that it wasn't for AT&T...

[Jhoncena4646]

This phone sucks we already have enough electronic

[dezzmond1234]

I hate this Wanna be playstation !! SMH FAILLLLL

[RagingTeaBaggins]

Release date?

[upgrade542]

can i text and or call

[thinkprozak]

@upgrade542 no shit, it's a phone.

[pimp22102]

Lol since when is the sims a FPS O_o

[gmaster45612374]

@swerdman55 what crawled up your ass and died? God damn. This isn't the fucking 90s. Its 2011. Yes the phones in the 90s were big, nobody is stating otherwise. But to me, this phone isn't the ideal size for my lifestyle. I was very subtle about saying it as well and wasn't attacking or insulting anyone (except you I guess). Why the need to get so defensive? Jeez.

[DMitzlo]

Did anyone noticed that the Playstation buttons are mixed up?

[KirbyRisner]

Sony sucks. The Ericsson Xperia PLAY sucks. I like the Windows Phone. Xbox 360!

[satejunk]

I got 6 free games from XL

[ELFATHER1313]

LOL WTF the buttons are all weird >.< and its funny cuz AT&T only gave 4 free games that suxxx on my Xperia Play for verizon my buttons are correctly placed LOL and instead of 4 free games i got 6 free games=]

[richie9267]

can you play gta iv on it reply

[Insomniac10102]

The buttons are in the right order.. But they have it in portrait mode xD

[509logan]

will a data plan be required ?

[XMAN082]

@509logan yes, it is a smartphone

[gmaster45612374]

If only it wasn't so thick....

[Swerdman55]

@gmaster45612374 Shut the fuck up. This is the most fucking annoying thing I've ever heard anyone say about ANY recent phone. THE PHONE IS NOT FUCKING THICK. Try going back to fucking 1990 and compare this phone's "thickness" with the other one. Jesus.

[Oscarv831]

When it comes out, I'll probably get it. Sucks that I have the iPhone 4. Oh well, just have to wait & see the features it has to convince me.

[minimooseha]

they need to move all of the buttons once to the right

[FUimbored]

so when does this phone come out for at&t?

[THCTheHighChannel]

so how much does it run like whats the phone price and whats the price for the service/plan?

[saurabhm92]

phone is a fake

[nathkovaolcom]

@saurabhm92 its not a fake i have one



[saurabhm92]

@nathkovaolcom i meant the buttons....go to the sony website and look at the buttons there and then look at them in this vid.

[niyanna100]

what happened to the buttons?

[DavidIordan5]

If it was just announced, wouldn't you expect it to be a prototype? It will get fixed.

[superamazeing]

epic fail

[shadon09]

Wow. Madden 11 on my iPhone 3G looks better than that.

[baseballhunter99]

i doesnt look as bad as i thought. the photo with the keypad open makes it look cheap but when closed it has a quality look.

[lollzz96]

Is it just me or is the demo guy kind of jumpy?

[pobels29]

Does anyone know if this is a good switch from an iphone

Please reply ASAP

[89elmonster]

Minecraft!!!!

[AshontiThompson]

[rubberdukk2424]

[glowcode]

@rubberdukk2424 wtf watch it again

[yyz71]

WTF the buttons are wrong !! mine are in the right place...

[cedrickcoolkid]

fail att garage they cant even get the butttons right poor ass company

[cedrickcoolkid]

fail att garage they cant even get the butttons right poor company

[LayerHD]

why the hell does they need a prototype? teh phone r already out the one thing they need to add is 4g....

[Windows7kicksass]

I like how nobody pays any attention. The buttons are wrong, because its a PROTOTYPE!

[webagent90]

looks like the PSPgo

[Lilnapat6]

On the divice the triangle was wrong :( xd

[Halljand]

Its a PROTOTYPE device. He said it was in the video. That may be why the buttons are weird!

[CreeperSauce]

Well i see he's an MLG fan by his wristband :P

[nature254]

the buttons are fucked up on the AT&T version but are in the right order on the verizon version. AT&T sucks balls!!! VERIZON FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[13NoHeaRt14]

Uh, why did that guy keep calling games like NOVA 2 exclusive? That's already an iOS app for over a year now. Same with all the other apps he displayed. Nothing exclusive about that...that thing is useless, might as well get a psp vita and keep my iPhone 4.

[BravoMLG]

@13NoHeaRt14 exclusive launch title on AT&T, the game did not launch on Verizon versions. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

[ferrariguy25]

The buttons are messed up because they put the buttons in while the device was in portrait. They forgot that people are going to play in landscape. Spread the word.... Sony dun goofed up!

[ferrariguy25]

Wow, the buttons are messed up. Who is getting fired?

[igeekone]

Someone goofed the buttons, lol. 

[TheSteffen557]

Whats up with the buttons

[SyncuzApp]

this Playstation phone is awesome, can't wait to have one ^^

[PinkPantherPunk]

wtf the buttons

[MONEYMAN602]

All the buttons are rotated?

[Rockytofu]

Your should really mic these people. it's kinda hard to understand them.

[ULT1MATEGAMER]

OMG with this phone i can play minecraft on the go! Cool !!

[tombomdoodle]

Not exactly thin, is it. But then, I suppose you wouldn't want a flimsy controller.

[12345WIZZ]

gamer twitchy fingers :D

[XxVenomousSnipeRxX]

What's up the right dpad? I thought the shapes were rotated to the left???

[sgosiaco]

The guy said "Its running on a faster network!" 1:53 he says it! Take that Verison

[dpat09]

@sgosiaco hahaha I heard it too lol, but I was goning to comment if anyone noticed... like this and his comment if you agree...

[MrJskktx]

Don't like it...

[AppleUniversity]

Did anyone notice that the top two comments are the EXACT same

[CrazyPotatos]

playstation button fail

[upgrade542]

@CrazyPotatos its a protype slow one

[upgrade542]

@upgrade542 its a prototype slow one!

[CrazyPotatos]

@upgrade542 Who cares if its a prototype, how hard can it be to put 4 buttons in the right place they managed to do it with all the other buttons

[KyubiStewie]

@CrazyPotatos Unless you're playing Crash Bandicoot, it's win.

[DRACOFIRE26]

buttons are messed lol

[ChickenButtFilms]

thats not reggie bush retard

[jerseyboy208]

Wht is with the buttons? I mean x is deff on the bottom on a playstation controller haha hopefully it gets fixed tho

[bassdelux]

someone screwed up the face buttons lol

[farres1]

no stock gingerbread? fail

[mrburke101]

WTF is up with the button layout?

[bambuka2000]

@mrburke101 nothing they just failed

[UNNICAL]

hahahahahha...........the buttons r funny!.....asses

[o0oSolidSnakeo0o]

If you guys didn't hear, he said it was a prototype. I'm sure the final build will be fine.

[mateigaman12]

the buttons X [ ] /\ O are not placed good

[o0oSolidSnakeo0o]

@mateigaman12 Additionally, your point was not expressed well.

[eddgomezHaHa]

The preloaded games are on the box to the right. the other two are crash bandicoot and N.O.V.A 2

[h84camacho1]

the only difference is the batten and 4g

[HUMMFREAK]

Why is the X-O-Y, etc. buttons different then they are on the PS3/PSP?!

[Scotland2Russia]

What is wrong with att's play!? why are the buttons rotated and why are the homescreen indicators along the bottom and not the top?

[bob93219]

thats one big ass phone compared to my iphone

[rubiksguy890]

y are the action buttons rotated?! lol

[supernoob1028]

PS Buttons are rotated counter-clockwise... Whats with that?

[uberman709]

why does at&t get the better version?

[iapplekid]

1:16 LOL what is this in the background?!

[rog1234541]

Can't wait for that phone.

[darkmonkeypower]

what happened to the days where all you needed for fun were some good old friends and a crack house?

[PitoVH]

fail...

[Nixmix24]

um.. why are the left buttons in the wrong order? Shouldn't the "X" be at the bottom, "O" on the right and so on?

Stupid.

[2mustange]

@Nixmix24 i think its for portable convenience? no idea...

[Nixmix24]

@2mustange Could be.. except, unless you're using the buttons more with the phone vertical rather than horizontal like you would playing a game, I see no reason why they wouldn't place the buttons in the usual order..

[xxxGhostTeam2xxx]

@Nixmix24 He said turn type playstation buttons, i guess you can spin them around or something

[Nixmix24]

@xxxGhostTeam2xxx I guess that's a possibility. Still seems unnecessary. But I guess we shall see.

[igotsmoshedify]

@Nixmix24 i think he said that it was a prototype at around 1:00

[Nixmix24]

@igotsmoshedify Yeah.. but if they can have touch screen technology, they can figure out how to put the buttons on correctly... Who knows, maybe they're testing it out for some reason...

[AppleTechKid]

I saw this is in a shop went to hold it and then playstation buttons where tiny!!!!

[RMEO1]

its really fat...

[FunAndJokes]

mirror effect duh

[BravoMLG]

Sup guys. Not sure why the buttons were rotated for the prototype, could've been a factory error, or could be a security measure of some sort. Hope you enjoyed the review, obviously cannot say too much information at this point! Thanks again Jon.

[jeffreyparke]

"which version of gingerbread? 2.3?" lol

[onishchuk4]

@jeffreyparke Well no cus there are two versions of gingerbread that I know of. 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.

[yit2525]

im pretty sure that the buttons being rotated is because of assembly error and the fact that this is the prototype of the phone.

[StrappedWithFilm]

me and big sean started snapbacks

[propel1024]

Wtf is with the playstation buttons, arranged wrongly!

[NewYorkCity4Ever1]

What's 2+2 ?

[izgloss12]

@NewYorkCity4Ever1 11

[4elFROMEKB]

@NewYorkCity4Ever1

Gohnno... hey!

[ngu0061]

ahah the buttons are placed wrongly

[freshmexicano0375]

Did anyone notice that the button layout for the x, square, circle, and triangle buttons was different than the usual psp n dualshock controller?

[Fluffy4020]

It better have freaking dual core!

[sccerstr09]

So it's pretty much the Xperia Play... for AT&T?

[jumperlltonez]

"if only the real reggie bush would do that" ;]

[PhantomOp1]

It is either the video was a little fast or that guy had a lot of coffee

[gundamnduke0]

haha, dual touch analog sticks. where are the sticks? i see touch but no sticks.

[gundamnduke0]

which version of gingerbread? i thought gingerbread is the codename for android 2.3.4

[c3vzn]

I think the unit is just screwed up. The accidently rotated the buttons 90 degrees to the left.

[tiger7892]

as a device made for gaming, it would have benefited from a dual core processor

[KongZack]

ima plan to get this phone

[anthonyprinzo]

HA he said "same device just a faster network" lol vzw lte is soooo much faster then att hspa+

[ctfxcshanedawson]

Whats up with the x square triangle and circle all being messed up... Why would they do that c'mon

[McArnold4444]

playstation certified my ass X,O square and triangle are all in the wrong places!

[TheRPMCreation]

I'm sure they didn't rotate the buttons for no reason. there must be an explanation for this.

[randyizhere]

So will it run on the ps network?

[wimpykid1084]

I have that phone on verizon and I was like aww when he said when its going to be available in 4g att and it kinda looks better in att diferent home screen

[adriandude85]

buttons are coved so they dont get sued!

[younglink53]

@adriandude85 sued by who?! the phone is made by sony

[adriandude85]

@younglink53 sued by sony for copyright those symbols are one of the many ps copyrighted logos

[younglink53]

@adriandude85 -_- dude i just said that the phone was made by sony. why on earth would they sue themselves

[adriandude85]

@younglink53 sony would fucking sue the video up loader or participant if the logo is used without concent genius!

[putooo91]

did anyone noticed how people keep talking about the buttons when the 2 top comments are about them?

[icedragon2812]

did anyone notice the x, o, triangle and square buttons are screwed up??

[whitedominic26]

the action buttons are rotated 90 degrees to the left...

[Axcelaration]

Aye fuck you. Reggie Bush is good.

[BentMachine]

did anyone notice how the O, triangle, X, and square buttons look wrong?

[jimboslice260]

game buttons are stuffed

[chepo24]

Why The Fuck Would They Arranged The X,O,Triangle & Square Like That ??

[smallin45]

BUTTONS: WATA FAIL.

[GamingNation29]

how much is this?

[habringerofdoom012]

Representative : So, same specs, same phone.

Jon: Okay.

Representative : Just running on a faster network.

Ooh.. Feisty.

[DarknessKingCoH]

I don't think sony certified the fail of those buttons.

[iPwnAtZombies]

LMAO THEY FUCKED UP THE command buttons XD

[somebodyhaha1234]

How can you know if the circle button is rotated? lol

[elpoks001]

@somebodyhaha1234 no its sensorable

[StealthX41]

@somebodyhaha1234 Hahaha. I guess you can't. but i think he meant to say that the O, X, Δ, and □ are all rotated counter clockwise.

[EvHzll]

The symbol buttons are rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise hah

[EvHzll]

Did anyone notice that the top two comments are the EXACT same

[SonicXRulz4Eva]

@EvHzll It's imposssible! How did u know that ur comment is gonna get the same number of views???

[EvHzll]

@SonicXRulz4Eva I didnt :) it just happens

[SonicXRulz4Eva]

@EvHzll You're Awesome!!!

[smokemk2]

jajajaja no maaaa min. 1:17 jajaja xD

[HBG07]

I think this will fail. It's at least 3-4 years late.

[IdeviceItalk]

Get fucked AT&T

[123thepyro123]

The buttons isnt rearranged in europe! (non branded phone)

[chimex22]

sony erricson is suppose to go out of business by 2012

[goman175]

@Xxthugskater6310xX they look like that because,well, look at it as if the phone was facing the normal way, then they look regular

[fakex10]

@goman175 ya but y the hell would u slide the screen up and hold it that way

[goman175]

@fakex10 u wouldn't but they fucked up

[fakex10]

@goman175 id think they did that with the verizon version

[Keviny1999]

@goman175 it still isn't supposed to look like that because you aren't supposed to hold the phone up right while you play. The only reason it's messed up is because it is a prototype
