Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (Verizon) Review

[lukesterh]

Is this phone recommended? I love gaming, especailly on the go, i also love tiwtter and web browsing. I would be jumping from an old iphone to this

[josesantos707]

@TweeterMan287 is it dangerous to get caught with the emulators/roms.

[88Krooked]

Can you also get it in white at Verizon

[88Krooked]

Does this phone have free google search?

[omgitsbakersix]

w00t ordered this phone :D gonna be here friday

[felicialeefai]

Am in d Caribbean and my plays reception is excellent

[cincysportsfan84]

im getting this phone should be delivered tuesday

[Pikatwig]

If you think all fighting games are repetitive button mashers, then you obviously haven't played BlazBlue.

[Suicune2829]

@HillariousFox coolroms

[Suicune2829]

I want it

[HillariousFox]

Whats the best source for roms?

[AAznShotMe]

Can this emulate the psp or ps2?

[HillariousFox]

@AAznShotMe no just retro stuff

[moonlightkisu]

Am I the only one that thinks the touchpad looks like a set of boobies? because it's quite amusing to watch you uh .. rub them. Yea. I'll back away from the comment section now.

[sparta944]

GEET REDEE!!

[Kagimbrius]

How much is the phone>?

[christrouble01]

Is this only for verizon

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

why not the first one? Its still good...

[kylewaly49]

when i saw the emulators i was so excited then.... You: banjo tooie doesnt work at all Me: NAOOOOOOO!!!!!!! my life is not complete now!!

[iSmartOreo]

Is verizon the newer version?

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

DUDES, USE GOOGLE, I CANT TELL YOU EVERYTHING, AND IF YOU COMMENT ON MY REVIEW SAYINGG THESE THINGS, IT WILL BE THE SAME: USE GOOGLE! afk...

[next342]

i was wondering with the emulators where u got all the games on them or did they come with the emulators and did any of the emulators cost any money or were all of them free

[HitTheMac]

which emulators would you recommend?

[MrPhillz]

@HitTheMac

First get the SlideMe app (google it) and make an account. Then look for the following emulators: GBAoid, Snesoid, Nesoid, n64oid. The developer only charges for the N64oid but the rest are free, he has loads of them.

Then we have the psx emulator on android market, it's called FPSe and it's pretty amazing and well worth your money. None of these requires root too.

Go ahead and thumb this up so other people can see and thanks for the review TweeterMan287

[dumplindopeness]

and games on the emulators?

[dumplindopeness]

how do u download the emulators? are they free?

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

ANSWER ME, IT DOESNT WORK!!!!! EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS, HONEST! (except killer instinct gold)

[hadji457]

Good review. I have no use for a phone like this but, I do think it's pretty cool. especially the emulators for the good old classics.

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

Theres still a mystery left untouched, HOW DO YOU GET BOMBERMAN 64 TO WORK!?

[TheMaxkiller1]

@ComputerLunarVidGamR.

thanks have cheked up and they say also need a other app for these oids

to work

[TheMaxkiller1]

one question do sega mega drive n64 snes nes and the other include when you buy the phone or is it in store? if it is in store can i play have a link

also how the hell did nintendo agree with this they not that one who gives out game for other console( cell phone this time). did sony just take the game from the internet like nintendo8bit. or is just in usa they have the n64 and the other. becuse i live in europe

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

@TheMaxkiller1 Ummmm, first its not on the market, but just do a search for yongzh and youll get his apps, all of them are free except N64oid which you can get the apk for on the internet.

ALSO, these are made from other people, not by nintendo. im pretty sure if they found this out or really cared, they would instantly sue sony and google for the legal selling of nintendo's hottest games on other non-nintendo platforms. Then they would tell the govt to block all rom sites that have their games.

[SharksforeverSuper]

how did you jump in contra

[ExPlOdINgPICKLE227]

how do you get all those gameboy and nintendo 64 stuff??

[1guitarfreak4]

Im watching this on my xperia. gotta say. its a great phone. perfect service. tons of emulators. very loud sound (dont know why yours was quiet)

[1guitarfreak4]

@scgamer78 4g

[mrgamer90001]

y you no buy minecraft!?

[JuanFeMotta]

CRASH BANDICOOT RULES!!!!!!!!

[orgasmoman69]

DID IT COME WITH ANY GAMES?

[kevinisghost]

@orgasmoman69 yes. it come with asphalt 6. bia2, crash,dungeon defenders madden nfl 11, star battalion and sims 3. they are all there when you get the phone

[69ihate]

Where did you get the memory for all those apps cuz my phone barely has internal memory and i already have an 8 gb sd? and where did u get the emulators?

[Neglesh]

Holy shit the emulator thing is awesome!

[MuscleX101]

are the analog sticks bad for first person shooters like nova 2, modern combat 2, and battlefield 2

[mclgetsum]

@MuscleX101 they are pretty awesome for gaming man! (i have one)

p.s you will own with those analog pads...

[nintendonerd1231]

DUDE U SERIOUSLY HIT PUBERTY OVER THE OAST 4MONTHS check out ur pso go review holy god :-*

[vivacolombiagames]

tetris for sony? haha they knew it wouldnt sell good. nintendo went to COURT for rights to tetris and now sony has it? FAIL

[redwv]

lol you're following jonnypaula the maker of the microwave show

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

what rom site did you go to to download a working Mike Tyson's Punch Out NES Rom. All of mine are Glitched up with the latest NESoid.

[stick6012]

Um did the emmulaters already come the phone

[rlouis215]

i'm going to be honest if apple made an iphone or ipod touch with a slide out game control pad. it would sell like hot cakes. to bad some companies just don't have the advertising bucks to get it done. and why this only came out on Verizon i will never know...smh

[maximum1able]

GEEZUS! UR VOICE!!!

[jwbda3rd]

i clicked for crash lol

[becca0668]

oh wait no , its actually not the same, why is there different ones ?

[becca0668]

hmm yours is alittle different than mine. Strange even though its the same phone -shrugs- Like when i go to my main big menu instead of scrolling down for more stuff it goes side ways, and i few other stuff to . AWH WELL i still love my phone

[nintendonerd1231]

Nice review I'm getting this phone for my birthday :) and at the end u got a phone call. :P. well your right about apple. Nice graphics if u can see them my huge thumbs are in the way of the tiny screen

[fastmoneyphil]

Great review

[NickNicky248]

I wanna get this phone and replace my shitty motorola citrus. I see why it was free for an upgrade.

[aznsurf98]

wow. finally went through puberty lol

[Pokemonmasters4ever]

lol the device lacks support cuz nobody cares about android phones. A new one comes out like every week. Nobody even cares about this phone anymore even though they should have added more PS titles.

[bobxxxyourmom]

@Pokemonmasters4ever your a faggot

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

@Pokemonmasters4ever I assume thats why PSXperia was made for this.

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

what audio problems does Gameboid have? I am using the same one, but it works perfectly from my time with Advanced Wars. Please respond to me when you can so I could know.

[Shadowsaturn38]

Because of you my sister got me this phone for XMAS and its the most amazing phone ever. Its so simple to use. Thank you!

[E1INS3]

Dude those two games Super Mario 64, and Diddy Kong Racing brings back sooo much memories!! You just inspired me to buy a nintendo 64. Thx man...

[Shadowsaturn38]

i know this has been talked to death about but i'm trying to find the emulators that you have and i cant get them anywhere on my phone. Any help would be great thanks

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

@Shadowsaturn38 You get the emulators from yongz, just search "slideMe" on google and youll find SNesoid and the others. Also, you can search online for N64oid to get the APK for free, since thats the only one that is Pay-for.

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

12:48 BTW, everyone else should be using a newer version of N64oid, so Mario 64 should be working 100% for the most part.

[ravyHD]

they need to make xperia play 2 with tegra 2 or maybe even tegra 3 :D

[JackTheFlap]

@ninasauraus google it I just got them today all free apart from n64. Download on your Xperia play remap the buttons and you are done

[MyPenguins12]

[ip00p01]

I got this app called Emulator ROMS.

are the emulators and roms dl'd from that app free? if anyone knows i'd be greatly thankful and appreciated

[jonzey3111]

Do it have auto correct when you are txting

[nickm34456]

this has the full android marketplace right? cuz I was looking up some xperia play youtube speed review, and couldnt find it, plus no reviews have mentioned it

[Malique8798]

he played all those games and the battery stayed 2 99%..thats GREAT!

[walidb123]

reception bars don't measure signal strength accurately so what it shows isn't always the case.

[subersore]

in others words they are doing what the iphone couldnt do , in my personal opinion lol

[hank1985078]

Awesome review

[99iHussain]

Did you have to pay for the Nintendo 64 games including super mario

[walidb123]

@99iHussain you can download roms and use the emulator to play them. they're basically free but it's a little shady.

[scgamer78]

how did u get the emulators i going to get the phone over the weekend and does it have 3g because bestbuy.com and verizon.com says wifi only

[Pokemonmasters4ever]

@scgamer78 of course it has 3g its a smartphone. and u just get emulators from slide me market or download them from the internet

[MrHonwe]

@scgamer78

IF IT DOESN'T HAVE 3G

no one will buy it for the Internet. :(

[KennyRobinson74]

DO A BARREL ROLE FOX!!!!!

[XboxAndPcGaming]

the only thing that could make this phone better is if it could do a barrel roll!

[Rusty511]

Getting mine on Thursday!

[250ahmed]

Nice Review of the Games Bro, keep it up!

[mmmmhonda]

man... this phone sucks... mine always crashes =(

[Xxcr42yxX1]

I really want this phone man! I went into the shops , had a little play on it and loved it

[IXAwhiteknight]

Hey man. I just got this phone today. How do I get Emulaters. that cool unlocking screen and whatnot? Please respond.

[mclgetsum]

@IXAwhiteknight search on youtube for megamanbnmaster and he has a tut on how to do that

[Recoilrock]

i want this phone just for the emulators

[mw3rocks123]

that game was for the ps2

[FragBashers]

im gonna see if i can geta used one to use as a gaming device, minecraft portable looks much easier to play on this and i can use this to play games without draining my iphone

[flamingaxe791]

That's one nice piece of hardware.

[lashrags43]

Nice

[xBeckyxBeatdownx]

I'm getting mine on Tuesday. I'm so excited. Major upgrade from my env touch! It was one of two free phones (I had a free upgrade from Verizon), and overall, I liked this one much better! I'm excited to hear a knock at my door from UPS. c:

[ip00p01]

question, did u get the emulator(s) (and the game for the emulators) on app store? or uploaded them urselves? (noob question)

[mclgetsum]

@ip00p01 you get the emulators from a website called "slideme" thenyou get the roms, which are games, from any website that has them (google them)

[6brodey]

got mine today it f***king rocks

[reggienuva183]

im typing this comment with a wiimote

[tinyNinja3]

where do you get the emulators and games

[andyvillagran2401]

ur my favorite reviewer

[hipster1121]

i don't know if it's on the mairo 64 if you can go up the hill wear king bomb omb stays but on the ds you can go up to the part where the tree is you can go into the nearst hole where the balls come out and it will tella port you to the top of the hill so i don't know if that is on the 64 verson.

[dudeitsdylan22]

does it play free music? and if so does it sound good i think i will get one.

[Sparx360]

Im not a huge N64 fan anyways. I prefer good old Genesis and super Nintendo. I wanted to see you play Super Metroid that's all I would need is Sonic 1-3k and super metroid on my phone and I would be in heaven.

[buddzdm121]

:') the good ol' games

[vegetassj11100]

which one is this pro?

[thefilipinokidutube]

he is awsome i even go on his website it is also my shortcut

[Ilnoscopedjfk]

how did you get all of the other games on it?

[thewapow]

Really? I've had a droid 2 also and I think this has a much louder speaker

[GUMBYduck3000]

Mario 64 was my favorite game as a kid

[HorrorGod920]

i got a droid 2 global but it cracke dnow should i pay to get it replaced or get this phone whats better??

[stormshadow1997]

Where do u get the emulators from

[striknoir772]

@stormshadow1997 The Android Market

[manuel62835]

how did u get the amulators

[ecartman12]

Tweeterman287 how do you feel considering this phone has been significantly reduced?

[sirmel11]

Can you have this without having the phone features? I'd totally buy it if it wasn't a phone.

[todamam66667]

@sirmel11 ever heard of a PSP.its exactly like this,except no phone capabilities.

[sirmel11]

@todamam66667 Minecraft isn't on the PSP! This is different also. This thing runs roms!

[todamam66667]

@sirmel11 a little more research please?theres a fan version called lamecraft for psp.and you can download emulators and roms for psp.

[sirmel11]

@todamam66667 I don't want to hack my PSP or something. I just want an Xperia Play with no phone features. If you can't tell me that, then we have nothing to talk about.

[todamam66667]

@sirmel11 don't need to hack,we have signed versions of those,signed means that it's playable on Official firmware. >:D

[trevorisepic]

Just ordered mine today:D

[CCPEACEoriginal]

@TweeterMan287 I'm about sold all I want to know now is... How do i download emulators, I've never had any model of a droid and this looks awsome. so if you could help it would be very much appretiated, thank you.

[pureawesomeness2012]

[pivotcorp]

[kickasscroatia]

fuck xperia,iphone has beter games I^m telling you beter buy a iphone you will see about what i talking

[scissormon]

My problem with the play is that 8 months after its release, there have been no software updates at all, no PlayStation games for the us market other than the preloaded crash bandicoot, still no PlayStation pocket, and the Verizon xperia won't be getting the ice cream sandwich update all because its fucking CDMA.

[nickdog670]

@scissormon

The Galaxy Nexus is CDMA and comes with ICS...

[warriormaster23]

im getting this phone but i ordered a 2 day shipping but its gunna take 2 more days cause it was suppost to come today but it didnt and the weekends adding 2 more days

[DJGuineaPigz]

Dammit... I just bought an iPhone 4S as a replacement for my old phone... Wish I had gotten one of those instead.

[HunterXyron1134]

hehe ^_^ just finished ordering one of these bad boys as an upgrade for my old, falling apart LG Ally. Man, i cant wait for some emulator sexiness ^_^
