I am planning to buy this phone for $50(awesome) and I want to know your thoughts on the game pad. What controller is is most similar to? I have almost all game consoles besides PSP go. (Even Retro ones) and how is the experience with dual booting?

The controls of the xperia play remind of the gameboy advance and ps controller combined. The gamepad is awesome and the touchpad is enjoyable if it is functional in certain games. The touchpad on the gamepad is causing quite a stir in developing custom roms for this device. Be warned though not all xperia play customs roms have functional touchpads. Touchpads are not supported in fxp or cm because they are not allowed to hack sony firmware and it is patented. I can't answer your question about dual booting sorry. Xperia play is a unique device on its own and I know for sure if my xperia play breaks im buying another one regardless how old the device is. The community is pretty much small so you much know or seen everyone talking in the forums.
For dual-booting, you will only be able to do this with similar versions of Android, because the kernels won't be compatible (you can't dual-boot Gingerbread and ICS for example).
kieran was working on dual boot but it seems he gave up

The PSP can't play with the Xperia Play or the Galaxy SII, but if you got the play you can play Modern Combat with the S II in Multiplayer using Local Wifi mode
That's cool I didn't know that. I'll have to try that out.
Would that be possible with any other phone other than the Galaxy S2 ?

how big is sony's pie wrt the xperia play? shame that the psp (from sony) and the x.play (also from sony) cannot play together. which games can be played between the x.play and the sgs2?
You must remember that when the xperia play was designed, half of the company was still Ericsson. It would be very unlikely to have that sort of connectivity, when only half of the company was Sony at the time.

Hi all
This is my first flagship android device so I was looking forward to playing top games such as mass effect infiltrator, dead space, nova 3 etc
To my surprise, they aren't available for my device! Considering this is the flagship android phone out at the moment what is going on here?
Will these games become available in the next few weeks as the developers roll out updates or do we need to email them to make them aware of the issue?
I live in the UK and am on o2 btw
Thanks

Since the device it's new I'd give it time, the eco system has to adapt.

Oddly Dead Space is listed as 'incompatible' on the play store... but if I restore it from my SGS2 using titanium backup it works perfectly on my GS3 (just with low res sgs2 textures)
So probably just needs EA to pull their thumb out and update their list, rather than making any actual changes to the game...
If it works with low res then they won't release it. There are loads of games I have bought for my previous phone that don't work on my 1x, pretty annoying really

The games might be available in the coming weeks as devs need to add S3 as a supported device.. plus some games are country specific. The developers can tell playstore to provide the game/app in some country and not to do so in other countries.
Pk am i missing something cos I can't find these on the store anywhere?
T-Mobile UK
Nova 3 and Asphalt 6 are both available on the market for me now. I think they must have added them last night. I guess its just a case of adding the device to the list of compatible devices, we know the phone can easily handle any of these games its just a case of the developers updating the market!
That still leaves Mass effect infiltrator, Dead Space and shadowgun THD that I can't see. Does anyone know what the best way is to make sure they get added? Can we email the developer or make requests to google play through the market?
Thanks
Now all gameloft titles are available for me at the playstore

You will NEVER see this one: it's a "Tegra3 only" game
But Shadowgun is available on market for S3
Looks like Max Payne won't be available initially for the S3, this suxsss.
Mass effect infiltrator works from my friends s2 backup but the audio is a little choppy.
I guess ea have to make improve it's compatibility with the s3. I've already emailed them on this matter.

These games are available on the web if you do a Google search for the apk.
Obviously the sources can't be promoted outrightly on xda as they are considered warez

Peggle is also not available for this handset. My titanium backup of my PAID app is also no use as it's one of those apps that just KNOWS you didn't reinstall it directly from the market.
Sad, I love Peggle.

+1. Just got FPse and its pretty sick. Playing FF7 right now and it plays perfectly. I'll look into FF1 for Android. Playing FF3 for Android as well which totally kicks ass. Thanks for the heads up OP.
Its not worth the money, its a direct ios port. When it becomes the ANDROID VERSION, I will buy it.

It is not a port is the Android Japanese relesae but in english, it does not contains the extra dungeons on IOS version.
However is better than nothing...I dont want to install FPSE and the PS Rom on my PLAY... I own all FF's on the PS platform.
I was so confused when I saw "Original Final Fantasy", "FPSe", and "PS ROM" all in the same thread. I never realized the original was updated and re-released, as I fell out of the Final Fantasy scene after FF7. I might just have to pick this one up.

LOL, the ppsspp emulator is available in the playstore. You can dump your psp games, and it just emulates the games to be compatible
As for your question manish, i dont think it shall be compatible with our ace, it cant even run the android games properly. You would need a hi-end mobile for that. However, i haven't said no. If you have a PSP, then its worth trying. But remember the games shall be extremely light (in psp speak).

But you can see it on this THREAD. It should be works. :good:
Found one on Craigslist for that. Just wondering what you guys thought of buying the phone solely as a mobile gaming and music device. I like it because of the buttons, but does it run today's games OK with the Play's hardware? My N4 runs them just fine. Looking for something to replace my PSP with. How about emulators? Like I said, just looking to replace my PSP. TIA.

DO not buy the R800x model. Lack of development in customs roms and lack developer support. The best roms for the xperia play is gingerbread but they only work with the international model. Get a R800i or R800a to get the BEST of the xperia play. Sold my r800x for $50 verizon screwed up that device.

I would completely agree as I had a VZ R800x before snagging my current GSM model. But I think OP is looking for it for gaming only. But if he wants to dabble in custom roms then this model is a "Do Not Touch" as development is pretty much nonexistant. Not that I don't appreciate the devs who worked on it its just no where near as many choices as what's availed to GSM users.

Yea I know GSM dev support vs CDMA support. But I do have ORD. Well better yet, I like a stable with lots of options for customization. I don't like slim ROMs. Load that sucker up. I do want some dev support, but if it has a stable custom, that will do just fine.

So far r800x has no custom gb roms. There is cm9.1 which is stable and emulators play well on it but ginger bread is the best for gaming. If youre not going to use phone service then you can always use a gsm rom on the cdma version. Everything will work fine but youll have no service.

Huh. Thanks didn't know that. That's pretty cool. Good to know. I'd probably end up uninstalling the phone apk so as not to call 911 on accident.
Last time I dealt with GSM and CDMA in the same dev sub section was back with my Touch Pro. Just had to be sure not to flash a CDMA version. And Sprint and Verizon ROMs were interchangeable, just had different radios to flash iirc.

Its an old rom but True Ancestor works there is also the xdarmarios patch that allows any GSM rom to work on the cdma model. Some GSM roms will not show the home screen this patch will fix that.
Edit - Here you go, remember though it will fix the homescreen issues but you will still not be able to use the device for phone function, ihowever if you just want to use it as a gaming device then have a field day. I would recommend, from my tastes, NXT L.E its a 2.3.7 based ROM.
