Default Xperia Play - The Playstation Phone

Firstly can I please say I am not trying to start another Android vs Iphone debate, it's been done to death already.

I have noticed Vodafone have started accepting pre-orders for the Xperia Play.

They are also letting me get it with an early upgrade offer for £40 on a £35 a month contract.

I have been trying to get more information on the phone but surprisingly there doesn't seem to be much about, all I have seen on Youtube are people playing PSX emulators on it.

Does anyone know what games are coming out for it? Can you play PSP games on it?

Will this be the next big thing or another disaster like the NGage.

Do NOT get an early upgrade.

ALWAYS wait until you are out of contract and then shop around.

They will be even MORE keen to get you to sign again than they are at the moment to keep you.

When you can say "but T-mobile will give me it for £5/month less" (for example) then you are in control.

In fact would say that your first port of call when you are out of contract is to call their cancellations number and ask for your PAC code.

Its the phone I am looking at (contract is up on April 9th, phone due out on the 1st) which will give me a weeks worth of USER rather than magazine reviews before I actually decide to take it.

Looks a nice device but SK's advice seems spot on.

Looks like i'll be doing the sensible thing and waiting till my contract is up in August will also give me more time to read some proper reviews.

Also the new Galaxy and Desire phones will be out by then
