I'm really impressed, the gamepad gives it such a wow factor and the game controls are great.
It's just so nice playing games without having to touch the screen. One of the issues with gaming on the X10 was you had to switch the phone screen off after a while in order to wipe the smudges off as the screen became more and more unresponsive.
Just downloading Asphalt 6 which I can't wait to have a go of. 
I also can't believe how quick Timescape is, it's lightening quick on the Play.

Today I played with the Play for like 15 minutes.. For the second time as well.. First time, a week ago, I couldn't try any games..
Played Fifa and that Galaxy game I forgot what's it called.. 
Anyway, I was simply blown away! If this can't get positive reviews and considered the ultimate gaming phone, I don't know what would be!!
This is nor an N-Gage!! N-Gage failed because of its hardware, this is all about hardware!
Really excellent gaming pad!!
All it needs is the Playstation exclusive package SE promised of, and this will the thing to get for gamers!
Even now, with the games available on the Android Market, playing most of these games with that game pad is a whole different experience!
I really can't get it why the reviews have been negative so far..
It really shows what low attitude those assumingly professional reviewers are at!!
I'm not a gamer at all.. And won't even consider this device, but I know for certain that SE did one excellent job!

It's a unique device and I don't understand why reviewers compare it with other very different phones when they are completely different experiences.
Anyway, Asphalt 6 is magical and the graphics, compared to gaming on the X10, is a huge step up. The build quality is solid. My gamepad is taking a right beating.

It's well better than Raging Thunder and Asphalt 5. Easily the best racing game out there. I've reached the Havana stage, the narrow streets are fun.
Also, check out the SPB 3D mobile shell, it's expensive but really brings the UI to life, very impressive.

Try Quads livewallpaper from the market its free, very nice ps3 effect and I think just completes the psp look on tje Xperia play. |

There are plenty of white versions on eBay

The White version is exclusive to O2 in the UK only.

i know, but as being O2 exclusive does this mean it will only work on O2 network
or i only have to buy it from O2 and i can use it with any other network??
look at this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-XPER[....]ell_Phones&hash=item20b85ddc09
it says " Factory unlocked " i contacted the seller, as u can see he is from the USA
and there are many others , and said its new , never been opened, and open for all networks??
there are other websites selling the "WHITE" and say its open for all network??

I think the White Play is only available on contract from O2 correct me if I'm wrong.
If I was going to purchase an unlocked white Play with English language on it I would get one from german eBay, where there seems to be plenty available.

I'd love the white one more than the black one I have but I'm not sure I'd be able to unlock and debrand it just yet.
Which and where did you download the emu from? Aren't there loads to choose from with some better than others?
