Sony Ericsson has partnered with key publishers to bring titles like EA's Need For Speed, Sims 3, Guitar Hero, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, and a world-first multiplayer version of FIFA 10 for mobile to the Xperia Play. The company also struck a deal with Unity Technologies to ensure a continuous flow of high quality 3D game titles. A pre-loaded application will let users download titles that have been optimized for the Xperia PLAY, access recently played games, and see information about the games they have downloaded.
The Xperia Play measures 119mm x 62mm x 16 mm, weighs 175 grams, and comes in either black or white. It has 400MB of internal storage space, which is expandable up to 32GB via the microSD slot (an 8GB memory card is included). Sony Ericsson has yet to announce pricing and release date details (though we do know it will launch on Verizon in the US next month).
"Today is a very proud moment for Sony Ericsson as we bring something truly revolutionary to the market," Rikko Sakaguchi, Executive Vice President and Chief Creation Officer at Sony Ericsson, said in a statement. "Living up to our vision of Communication Entertainment, Xperia PLAY will forever change the way people think about smartphones and mobile gaming. The launch of Xperia PLAY could not have been possible without the close collaboration of both Google and Sony Computer Entertainment. The commitment of so many industry leading game publishers further demonstrates that Xperia PLAY will deliver on the long-held expectations from consumers the world over."

Would it be wrong to ask them if they'll consider homebrew apps for it?

You'd figure with the phone being for "Gamers" and all, they'd want to to put in a more powerful GPU no?

Sony does not condone that type of liberal thinking

They should do trade in's. I have an Xperia x10 and buying a new phone is a little of a waste for my current phone. Mayb some rebate for trading in an Xperia Android phone?

Doesn't look like a serious gaming phone.
-
Surely the Nvidia Tegra 2 would have been a far more "gamer orientated" hardware platform?

This is 1 of many things recently that make me wonder where Sony will be in 5-10 years? IMO they're not what they used to be.
