I've used this tutorial and it worked:

And yes it's free.

"if it says not allowed or no then you will need to pay to have the boot loader unlocked.", is there anyway around this part? And why would I have to pay for it?

In the service menu, does it say
Rooting status
Bootloader unlock allowed: no
Because if this is the case, you fall into the same category as I. So you will have to scour the xda for stock based ROMs that you can flash.

Lara Croft Guardian of Light

Sony announced the exclusive availability of Lara Croft Guardian of Light for Xperia Play, S, and ion. The Google Play store says it is not available for my phone. Anyone able to buy it for the ion?

I can't even find it

That's what I figured. I got it on my wife's Xperia Play 4G but not my ion. It's probably more fun on the Play since action games work better with hardware buttons. I'll probably keep checking though.

You can find it from the browser version of the Play store. It is hidden from the app because it wasn't made available.

Were you able to get the game from the Play store? I can't even find it from Sony's original link now.

Works fine on LT28at. Took a bit to find the APK, and it had to download a few hundred megs of data... But its working and looks pretty good actually.
I have the APK for those seeking it.

Unlocking r800a is it possible(q)

Ok so in the settings thingy it says bootloader unlock no. Can I unlock my r800a? So that custom roms can go on and still maintain my drm? Also will it be free

It's not possible to unlock ATT version at Sony site, try WotanServer website.

There can be several reasons for this, I found some possibilities that could work:

And mostly all solutions cost some cash, well the testpoint method would be for free, but you shouldn't do it, if you have no idea how it works.
Ok thanks for the info and shall be sure to take a look
