Hello!
Please tell me which games are there which I can't play on ARC while I can on PLAY?
Please name such games if you can.
I am about to buy any one of these tommorrow, and don't know which to prefer; here is a little comparison, please correct me if I am wrong and also mention something I might have missed;
ARC :
Great body design
Great body material
Great Camera
Poor sound
No gaming Pad
Larger Screen
Not so good Web experience
Not so good Touch Interface
Radio
PLAY :
Average body design
Poor body material
Average Camera
Great sound
Gaming Pad
Average Screen
Great Web Experience
Great Touch experience
No Radio
Also tell me is there any difference between them as far as the user experience is concerned, I mean any application or function or anything that ARC has and Play don't or vice versa?
How much do they differ as far as the browsing experience is concerned?
So far Arc is winning, I guess, but now it all depends upon the games. That's is why I am contacting you all. I mean I am interested in Star Battalion and Asphalt (which from what I know can be played on ARC), and not much interested in Crash Bandicot.
Please reply soon.
Thanks in advance.
Can you tell me why you think the play has better web experience then the arc I think the specs of the same are they not ?

Hello!
I don't know really.
I guess I got the impression from the fact that SE's official site says that PLAY is a great web experience on top of great gaming experience. And also from a video which showcased some downsides of ARC's browser versus that of IPhone 4 but couldn't find any video doing the same for PLAY.
I have to Disagree on some of your Points there on Arc
Poor sound

You must not say POOR in General because for a Single Loud Speaker Arc Speaker is One of the Best out there, Dont' compare Single to Stereo Speaker, but Yes Xperia Play's Speaker is The Best Speakers on Mobile Phone out there.
Not so good Web experience

Of course Bigger screen means Better Web Experience IMHO, I don't see why Arc will not do better than Play?
Not so good Touch Interface

All Xperia right now have The Same Excellent Touch Interface, but Most Xperia's out there are Applied with Shatter Proof Sheet on a Mineral Glass that protects the screen, that could slightly decreases Touch Performance
IMO Both Phones are Great except they are focused on Different markets
Arc as the Camera/Video Stylish Phone and Play as the Gaming Phone Equipped with Superb PS controls and LOUD Stereo Speakers
but overall Experience is Great

I think you forget to mention that play does not support Brave Engine and i think both device has pretty good sound too. Just get to the store and try it.
Hey lol im facing the exact same crisis! I've kinda decided on the arc. Some of your points are not true mate. The arc web browsing is better. What the play has that the arc doesn't are the dedicated gaming controls and stereo speakers. By no means are the arc speakers bad. Don't pay much attention to the SE website.. they promote their phones as much as they can. For the xperia x8 they say access to thousands of apps on the market. That doesn't mean the androids don't lol. Arc has a brilliant camera, based on personal usage better than the N8 I don't know how.. 12mp vs 8 and even the owner of the N8 reluctantly admitted the arc camera was better. Arc has the exmor sensor and BRAVIA engine while play has no sensor, but has a BRAVIA port. Doesn't Work that great imho. Very little difference. Also keep in mind though that in bright light, bravia might not be good. It overdoes things sometimes and you can't turn it off. I'd love some feedback to this thread from arc owners, IV already got some from play owners. I think I'm gonna go with the arc cos I'm not a hardcore gamer and the arc screen is big enough to support touch controls on normal android games. Fpse can be a problem but I doubt I'll ever use it. Also, I doubt the play can support ps2 and psp games.. so I'm reluctant to get one. There may or may not be any exclusive games being released for it.. would be a HUGE disappointment to play owners. When it comes to custom roms and kernels, it appears the play has a bit more support I assume.. this is just my 2 cents.. would value other opinions very much.
Edit- arc touch interface is awesome. It's bloody brilliant. And it can detect more that 2 fingers simultaneously. Only negative point I have about the arc- in SOME models, hairline cracks appear in the housing. Just google it. It's quite rare.. and you won't notice it in most cases. If this doesn't bother you, it's fine. It doesn't affect performance or anything at all. It wouldn't bother me.. I wouldn't even notice lol. Yea.. thats my 2 cents.
price is a constant too, the arc is cheaper

Thanks! Did not know that
Hmmm.... are you satisfied with your arc? Any main advantages/disadvantages?
About price - the arc came out at a significantly increased price when compared to the play. However, prices around now are the same. (In my country at least)

No problem. Actually I also had my dilema choosing Arc or Play these were the phones available at that time when i was going to replace my X8, I read a lot about these phones, and their price is almost the same $520 Arc and $525 Play, but i bought the Arc instead with lots of personal preferences, and yes I play a lot.
Yes I am very pleased with my Arc, not just by the looks of it, Performance is great and par on most dualcore phones out there.
Drawbacks? Cracks appearing and chrome peeling that will show around 2 to 3 months, cracks can be serious issue to most people, it hit hard on Midnight Blue version, and rare on Misty Silver, and I chose Misty Silver because of that.
IMO Chrome peeling is not new to us, i Also had some Chrome peeling in my Previous phone.
My Arc was up for 267Hrs before i encountered a random Reboot, I think that's Normal

Hmmm... I want to buy the midnight blue.. Silver doesnt look that great but the cracks are a problem.... Guess ill decide that when I go to buy it..
Do you regret not buying the Play? Or would you choose the arc over the play again? Also, what games do you play? HD? And are they completely lagless?

Oh yea you should replace that X8, too bad X8 was a great contender last year for Mid Range phones, but they didn't supported it well and it's like a Dead on Arrival Phone
Here is my Personal Youtube Channel
It Includes Unboxing, Quick Review(No voice though, Im Shy ) and lots of GAMES! Please Rate and Share too
I only encounter Lags when playing Asphalt 6, maybe because this game is not for Arc, and because this game is for Xperia Play Optimised, but still playable and it rarely lags.
If i could own Both that would be nice
Hmm.. Have you overclocked? Or it lags a little on stock rom with 1Ghz default clock

No, I stayed on Stock Rom 2.3.3 and No Root , Still waiting for a Rootable 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 when time comes
Xperia Play Handles Games and Task very well because it is the only phone out there that uses a dual channel DDR2 memory working at 300 Hertz, that Improves Performances a lot and can perform Heavy Task.
Thats why Playing games on Play is Optimised and stayed @ 60FPS Refresh Rate.
One Very Big Pro for Xplay

The play has bravia engine since doomlord ported it
IMO the Play and the Arc are both excellent devices. But they are aimed at two totally diffrent markets. The Play has been heavly optimised for playing games. (stereo speakers, dual channel ddr2 memory). But unless you intend to play alot of games on your phone, i see no reason to buy a play over an Arc. I love playing games on my play. And could never go back to touchscreen games now
If you want to game a lot --> Play is for you because of the controla
If you want to use it as a normal smartphone, texting, browsing, gaming sometimes Arc is the way to go imo.
I don't regret getting my Arc and it's fast @ 1GHz but of course it's even snappier @ 1.2GHz
Mine midnight blue Arc has the crack but it's not that visable (most of my friends don't see it, even if you say them there's a crack).
Arc rocks, but both devices are great.
Day to day performance should be exactly the same on Arc and Play due same specs and same using experience.

Actually I Play a lot but I did chose Arc over Play because of these Factors
>Size
>Weight
>Screen Size
>Screen Brightness
>Clear Black Panel
>Bravia Engine
>8MP Exmor R
>HD Recording
>HDMI Port(Bonus for Me)
>Style
Over
>PS Controls with Touch pads
>Stereo Speakers
>Exclusive Games and PS Suite
>Dual DDR2 Memory Channel
>Front Facing Camera
Put Those Arc Features in Play, I will choose Play Anytime
They could easily put some of those features and make Play as their Flagship phone?
Just Imagine All those Arc Features(not the Size and Weight) in Play
Those of you who have the play- (AndroHero I think)
Will the play be able to support PSP and PS2 games? Its my biggest concern about the Play. I saw a video on youtube - Modern warfare for xperia play. I know it was fake but the graphics :O:O:O:O:O:O Will the play ever actually be able to do that? Or will there most probably be a play 2 that will..?
My conclusion (so far) - The Play's gaming controls make it an ultimate portable gaming experience and you can thrash other players in online/multiplayer FPS games. The DDR2 RAM eliminates the lags that you very very rarely see on an xperia arc. And you get a tiny not-very-good front camera that Ill never use. The games can be played on both devices extremely well. Day to day performance is the same.
So...
Camera (really awesome cam) vs gaming controls.
Great.. Im exactly where I started out :/
Thanks all for the help More opinions always welcome. Im begging for them actually... It'll be my first high end android and I dont want to regret buying it or later thinking damn I should have bought the <insert name of what I didnt buy>
Edit- how is the support for the 2 devices when it comes to custom roms, kernels, etc?
Ive searched the forums for both, theres one note-worthy kernel (doom), one FXP rom each and the play has 2 or 3 others. Are roms for the arc in progress? Or is the stock rom brilliant as it is? Sorry for the *noob* questions. But Ive done the searching and researching and I want confirmation and stuffs I didnt know. New to the forums here etc etc
hi guys,
can someone tell me is this mobile good for listening to music ??
hows the battery on it ??
and would you rather pick xperia arc or arc s for this purpose??
thanks a lot,
as far as i know..
Arc is a for business mobile..
but if u want to have a good music player, you can download powerAMP or playerPro..
but i used playerPro..
about Arc and Arc S for playing music, i think its the same..
There is no difference between Arc and Arc S as far as music is concerned.
Output volume on the headphones is not great, and neither is the stock music player.
However .... if you install Equalizer (free) from the market you can boost frequencies up to 15db which helps, and also Player Pro with the DSP pack lets you customize even more.
It's not quite as good as the Galaxy S with Voodoo sound or the Sansa Clip+ for example, but certainly with a bit of tweaking it's more than capable for day to day listening.
I can't talk for the Arc, however the Arc S battery is fantastic!
Keith
Battery whilst playing music is good, not much impact on battery life. In terms of quality, its good. Output is a bit lower than optimum, but by no means a deal breaker. SE has customised the music app and imo it looks good, and the widget makes it easy to control playback without going into the application.
Overall, as a music device, you shouldn't be disappointed. Note that it does not natively play back flac files however

thanks guys for replies
its a second time when someone suggested clip+, after having a chat with my firend im sure she will choose to buy xperia ray dont really understand why but ok ....
once again thanks for help
You're welcome,
Too bad she bought an ray..
Anyway, arc is better.

The Play has the embedded gamepad.

I need to replace my Xperia Play headphones and I have been looking online. How do I know if they will work with my Play?
I am looking at these 3 right now. But I am open to any suggestions as long as it is around 45$ with shipping to Canada.
Sony MDR-EX210B
Sony MDR-EX77S
Altec Lansing MZX406
My ideal solution would be something that works with Play and any other future device I own. What headset would you guys recommend and also are there any cheap adaptors if I end up wanting something that wont work with the play.
Also does the Sony Livesound Hifi headset works with other non-sony devices.
Thanks so much to anyone that helps. I want to make an order soon so it ships asap so please help
deleted
As of Sony ones, see the compatibility list on their webpage.
As of any other, they most surely won't work as far as they have a buit-in mic.
Now, if you get a headset (not headphone) compatible with your Play, they will only work on SonyEricsson phones, some Nokia and some Samsung before the Galaxy S.
You can buy an adapter, but... well, see this and this.
Any headphones made for the iPhone (including controls, a mic) like the Altec ones won't work. The Sony ones should be fine.
Im considering buying the phone, im coming from an old ****ty blackberry. All I want to do is:
1) Make phonecalls
2) Be able to play games properly (touchscreen gaming is retarded). I want emulators (SNES, Megadrive, Neogeo, PSX...) and some ports from classic game like DoomGLES or the Duke Nukem 3D one.
3) No need to carry a Gametel/similar device and attach it in your phone everytime you want to play/detach it everytime you want to put it back to your pocket
The only 2 problems i have with the phone:
1) Carmageddon is the most hardware demanding game I want to play. I love this game so I want smooth gameplay. I was about to buy the device when I saw this video:
youtube dot com/watch?v=1Mrbrk8MU_Q
The performance is **** (20fps) even if it's OCd to 1.5 (I dont want to OC a smartphone to consume more battery life).
The weird thing is, i've heard some people saying it plays smooth on their Xperia Play even at stock speed, which is really weird. Anyone that has an Xperia Play can test the game and ideally upload a video? (it may be smooth for you in that video, but for me it's crap)
Also I would like if someone can confirm if the controls work using GameKeyboard.
Here is a free demo:
play dot google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stainlessgames.carmageddonfree&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zdGFpbmxlc3NnYW1lcy5jYXJtYWdlZGRvbmZyZWUiXQ
Here is the full version if you want to buy it:
play dot google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stainlessgames.carmageddon&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zdGFpbmxlc3NnYW1lcy5jYXJtYWdlZGRvbiJd
Here is GameKeyboard:
play dot google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard&hl=en
2) The second problem I have is, im not sure if the screen of this device is good enough. On this video comparation, it looks pretty crappy next to the Galaxy S3:
youtube dot com/watch?v=siCskfSR8dc
The colours look so off. Also, you guys experiencie problems when trying to use it outdoors? (reflections, sun etc...) I remember with the original PSP, it was pretty useless outdoors.
Also, I discovered this device recently:
youtube dot com/watch?v=fI-5lzYeWpY
This could be an Xperia Play killer. The only reason to get an Xperia Play is for the sliding attached gamepad, the rest is outdated, but finally someone got this right and made a gamepad that is attached to the actual phone and you don't need to remove it everytime you want to put the phone on your pocket. The problem is, it's for the Iphone, we don't even know when it will be out for Android and what devices they will be supporting, and we don't know if it will be useable with emulators, ports and third party stuff with gamekeyboard or it will be locked to a certain list of ****ty modern games.
Thanks
Help please, is just too confusing. Some people are saying "yeah, it works perfect". Then on that video, it works really bad.
The play is good for everything you wanted but you are right its limited by hardware so newer games won't work so well on it

Im really confused, because some people say the game is smooth (for me, smooth is 60 fps) but this guy as tried it with the Xperia Play overclocked to 1.5ghz and it goes sometimes to 12 or so fps during crashes, it really sucks.
If the Xperia Play can play this game smoothly then I will buy it, if not, im not really sure what im going to do. I may wait for Bladepad to come out for android, so I pick up a S3 for a good price + this:
This could be the Xperia Play killer. Imagine the hardware of the S3/S4/Nexus + sliding pad. But im not sure when it will come out for Android, if it will be useable for non officially supported games... etc.

Ok the game was laggy at stock clock bit overclocked to 1.4 ghz min. 249 with gin2jellybean rom it ran at a pretty playable speed but id say to be better of with a newer phone because there is still some slight lag at some points like when another cast hits you. But id say its still worth it just for the awesome emulators since all of them work great and there's even a psp emulator with some games that are playable. If you can find one at a reasonable price like 50-100 dollars id say you should get it

Well what's your budget? Im sure you can find a cheap one on eBay and then still be able to buy a newer phone later and sell the xperia. If you overclock to 1.5 the game is playable very smoothly but again the play doesn't have the best looking screen compared to others so even then you might not enjoy it as much. Also that game didn't support the gamepad you have to use touchscreen and it was hard on a 4 inch screen so there's no point in the play for that game

There was someone on xda willing to sell theirs for 50$. Try looking on amazon. Since you're in Europe ( I'm assuming because your using euros) then you might not find it at that price but ill look for a cheap one on line and link you to it

I cant find anything on Amazon or Ebay for that price
The only cheaper phone that could maybe (i don't relly know) handle the games is the HTC First. It has better specs than the Xperia Play and costs only 100€. But it doesn't have a gamepad. If you're looking for another phone with a gamepad, you won't find any because the Xperia Play is the only one
I realized why you couldn't find any cheap ones. It's because your in Europe and need the gsm ones. I found 2 Xperia plays on craigslist for 100$ but they were r800x's so they won't work in Europe because that version is cdma
