I've tried contacted the guy from http://unlock-bootloader.com/ multiple times over the past month, but he has never responded. Are there any other websites for unlocking my R800x bootloader?

Alejandrissimo is a pretty busy guy, but what generally helps is if you add him on gTalk and catch him there sometime.

I don't think so. Not unless you want to buy the actual software, then buy the credits and unlock it yourself.

OK thanks. So how would I add that guy on google talk? Or does he have a skype? That would be better.

Gtalk only.
I contacted him and had the same problem until I checked my spam folder. Be sure to check that. Gmail seems to think its junk mail.

I would like to root the at&t xperia play if some one can help.

Can't unlock AT&T Play
Just go the AT&T play, and can't unlock the bootloader using the instructions on here nor on the official sonyericson instructions. Basically, can't get into fastboot mode at all, using search button and usb plugin as instructed.
There are two dudes on there forums that can do the bootloader unlock. I think its like $24usd. I'm gonna do mine payday (Friday). Pretty sure once you unlock the bootloader, the root should be easy. Look in the general section those dudes are in there.

Can he also do AT&T?
yes he can, he just did it for me last night. Was fast and easy, he even helped root it and answered any other questions i had.
Do i have to physically send the phone?
I am new to android (jumping off the iphone train) but i was under the impression that it wouldn't be hard to root the device myself.
I'm hoping to be quickly corrected here.

You don't have to send your phone. You install a few software needed for him to remotely do all the stuff in front of your eyes. And you open the back cover of the phone, link two points with a paper clip or something like that. A lot of people have done it and I haven't seen a single complaint (except for some people who think this is a ripoff and want it free).
The problem is that there are a few versions of "lock", carrier sim-lock, locked bootloader, not being able to use fastboot. But this method unlocks everything in a few minutes.
Jinx13 also does bootloader unlocking for like 15 bucks

I have PMed Alejandrissimo and I am hoping this phones bootloader can be unlocked. I have AT&T Xperia Play(R800At) and the bloatware is killing me(and lack of freedom). Phone is brand new & it will be a shame to have to return for Atrix. I will pay the money as long as future updates dont re-lock bootloader, sim, & take root from me & I dont have to keep paying.

I have an R800at that he unlocked yesterday. Also got root going and will remove bloat this weekend. He can certainly help you out.
So apparently i cant unlock my boot-loader. but i have my play rooted. what can i do to update firmware and overclock?
I have r800at AT&T GSM unlocked to T-Mo. The whole reason i want to do this is because games play pretty poorly.

Why cant you un lock the BL ?
You can update your firmware with flash tool still (someone correct me if im wrong) and I there is not an overclock for the stock kernel. Now that your rooted though , you can delete any bloatware apps to free some space and apply some tweaks in your build.prop to give a better user experience.

On your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Mine doesnt have that.
Also on the bloatware apps would i just delete them as any other app would be deleted?
u can remove bloatware using titanium backup.. but use it carefully

The test point software isn't free and even after you got it then you have to buy credits to use the software to do an unlock. I paid alejandrissimo the 24$ to do it and he makes it very fast and simple. Best 24$ I spent thus far!

What makes you think he isn't making profit? who would do a service for free.
Well, he says he does it at cost. Given that the Omnius official prices go around those levels, I would believe him. Plus, there are other people who give guided unlocks as well, so it's not like he can get too greedy since everyone would go to Jinx13 or someone else to make the unlock.

If your bootloader is unlocked and your flashing the recommended kernal etc then you shouldn't have a problem

that is the problem, the bootloader will not unlock. i did the step by step and came up with the same problem cwm (x-parts) is not working.
if you alredy know the problem why keep trying. it the bootloader do not unlock it do not unlock. nothing you can do about it. other then installing a rom that dose not require unlocked bootloader.
here's another problem, i can't seem to root it again after i did the update.
What phone you got? R800x or R800i?

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
from what i know it can be unlocked if i can get it rooted and cwm working on this current build.
I have an R800i so i don't really know how it works for the R800at. For the R800i, you type in the following in the dialer, " *#*#7378423#*#*". I know this doesn't really help you, but perhaps there is a similar step for the R800at that tells you whether or not your bootloader can be unlocked?
This may help but like i said, i don't own an R800at and i am in fact, quite a noob myself:

If anyone can will you tell me how to unlock my bootloader? I downloaded the Unlock - Unbrick bundle from the unlock-bootloader website where everyone says to go. I checked the site for instructions but found nothing and checked the download file, found the setool2g, but when trying to use the setool it said i need a smart card? I couldnt even find where i had to buy anything since everyone says its paid. Also i contacted the website days ago but still havent got an email back. Can someone inform me how to do this?

You need to contact Alejandrissmo again in the Mexico timeframe. Make sure you pay first through paypal and he will priortize you.

honestly for S-OFF testing from two HTC phones I was a tester for.. (HTC Rezound (included use of a paperclip..., and the HTC Inc4gLTE)
your MUST be willing to brick your phone and it's your fault. not theirs..
best bet is if we get a team interested, we get a community phone bought using bounty thread and they have a phone to work off of.

This is still a good offer to any dev eager to build in which they either didn't get a chance to unlock or bricked theirs during testing. Of course not a large user base at this point but once a dev always a dev and they will get the itch!
