As some of you probably know, Sony released the excellent Playstation Mobile store to it's Playstation certified devices.
This includes the Xperia Play! (Super Crate Box anyone!)
http://www.playstation.com/psm/store/en.html
HOWEVER, the Verizon Xperia Play won't install it running 2.3.2 (needs 2.3.4). I believe there is an official (but buggy) 2.3.4 update that can be gotten OTA. However I purchased a blacklisted Xperia because I only wanted it for games and it will not do OTA updates.
My phone is rooted and has the X-parts recovery app installed for CFW and recovery.
What is my best option for getting this app on my phone?
THANKS!
I am on 2.3.3 Verizon R800x and it works fine for me... no issues

OK great, so it probably only needs 2.3.3.
So what is the best way to upgrade my rooted 2.3.2 to 2.3.3?
Thanks!
I'd use flashtool to flash the 2.3.3 update. Then use superoneclick to reroot your phone which still works on 2.3.3.
You can grab 2.3.3 from here (R800x is the verizon version which you maybe know but just making sure ):
http://xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/233-se-stock-firmware-for-flashtool.html
Just flash the 2.3.3 ftf file for r800x using flashtool.
R800X- unlocked/AOKP/4.0.4

Great! Thanks!
What do I need Xparts for? To install after I have upgraded to 2.3.3? I already have it installed on 2.3.2.
Thanks again! People are always so helpful here!

Yes, and if you are having a problem with X-Part's not installing you can use [THIS].

WOOT! It worked!
Awesome! Now for some Super Crate Box on my Xperia Play!!!
Is this CFW Installer better/different to X-Parts in anyway?
Thanks again!

CFW Inst. and X-Parts are the same app.... it was renamed.
OK Great. X-Parts installed fine. Everything is running like a chap, SuperOneCLicked and all ready to go.
Damn Super Crate Box is addictive! Best $3.50 I ever spent!

Have you tried playing it in the bathroom or a waiting room using your laptop? Just not as good.
Hell even playing it on the couch sucks when playing on a laptop. Also not as good without a controller. Which yes you can use for you PC, but even less portable.
Is that worth $3.50 to be able to play on the Vita and the Xperia play for one price? Hells to the yes!
When i want to play SCB, i'll sit to my desktop. When i want to play it on my couch i'll just load Minecraft or Asphalt 7, because i dont need to play same game everywhere, all day 'n' night
Anyways i dont have credit card and we dont have prepaid cards there and also there arent any Google Play giftcards. And i hate warez also.
And i live in a country next to Germany lol.

That's great. Me either. That's why I play full scale games on my PC and small bite sized games like SCB on my Xperia Play.
So you want to judge me for spending $3.50 to play a game more suited to portables, on a portable? That's why you jumped in this thread? To attack me for buying a game on a portable that I could get for free on a PC?
Thanks for adding to the discussion.
LOL @ the ppl at XDA, srsly you should read that again. I just pointed that the game is free on PC and paid on portable devices.. That should be opposite. And you are talking like i punched you 10times to face and then said you are awful ******.
+ You asked, i answered = i dont care
Anyways to thread, isnt there any info from some creators that they will announce it for our Play?

When you begin a sentence pointing out something is fee with "LOL". That suggests you are laughing at someone for paying for it.
I didn't ask you anything, you just jumped in the the thread to LOL because the game is free on PC.
And nobody acted like you did what you described, that's ridiculous.
Maybe english is not your first language and you don't realise how it reads.
To be clear, I wasn't offended by what you said, just pointing out why the fact that is free on PC is irrelevant to my desire to play it on my Xperia. The game is amazing, it's a perfect fit for a portable and $3.50 is next to nothing. It's also the last type of game I care to play on a PC. The Xperia and the Vita is a perfect fit.

I downloaded the New Android Market app and then downloaded a movie after trying to play the movies it says movie will not play on rooted device. Anyone else having this issue?
Google movies won't play on rooted devices. It knows that your device is rooted, and has to do with copyright protection. That's the way it is right now.

big brother knows... your right about the copyright protection. they dont want anyone using a rooted device because then google just became the "new pirate bay". you could buy the movie. copy it with TB or any back up. ask for a refund and have the movie for free.

HI THERE,
i AM SUPER NOOB. DO NOT USE ANY TERM WITHOUT EXPLAINING PLEASE.
i have the rogers play with 2.3.3. i did root it before using that app that would root your phon with just installing it. now after i updated to 2.3.3. that didnt work.
im wondering if now there is a new version of it?! if not please tell me what is the easiest wy to root the phone. and if u are going to help me please speak noob language. dont just say stuff cuz u assume i know it. im new to all this. never flashed any phone or anything like that. lol
thanks a lot. i need this cuz im getting low space msg and i have lotf or rogers crap on my phone that i want to get rid of. thank youuuuuuuu
You are so noob that you did not read the rules posted in this section. You are supposed to ask all questions in the general area.
You need to be saved from yourself so im not answering you question until you read until your eyes bleed.
Some proper English would help. If you don't know what your doing, and need step by step instructions, you shouldn't be rooting your Play anyway.

You may need to use flashtool
Okay so if I have this right you say this phone was used right? right. Okay moving on. You will need to re-flash the phone.
Your going to have a lot of difficulty to get the phone re-flashed.
For your connivance I am going to try to link you the Xperia play flash tool.

Nobody will post the apk/data as this is against xda rules.( this is a paid app)
However if you search for remove restrictions on play store you will find a work around.

OK, so I know that $ony in their infinite wisdom has removed all PS1 titles from the store. If this were true why are they still listed?
I have gone through and test about 25 market enabler codes from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797625
And tried to see which code will allow me to buy Wipeout... so far none work. They all say "Not available in your country". So I am wondering if there are any countries that can still access these games:
Syphon Filter 1:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playstation.NCEA01910_0
Syphone Filter 3:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playstation.NCEA03697_0&feature=related_apps
MediEvil:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laystation.NCEA00311_0&feature=also_installed
Destruction Derby:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laystation.NCEA00008_0&feature=also_installed
Wipeout:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laystation.NCEA00010_0&feature=also_installed
Anyone willing to test a few more? I will keep testing as well and report if I find any code(s) that work and allow users to buy these games. I used to use Roger from Canada and it worked but that is no longer the case.
Forgot to add:
Wild Arms:

I have tried so many codes, even going to the extent of using Docomo and my Japanese VPN to see if JPN has access... each time resulting in a "Not available in your country". Even with about 30+ codes tested (not kidding)
For now I am taking a break, I might try again this weekend.
Whats the point, Sony is not even pushing the Playstation brand onto android devices.
