Getting my Xplay Wednesday Stoked!

Zombie Taco · Mar 6, 2012

I'm getting my Xperia Play on Wednesday. It took me a while to decide to get it, I wanted the Rezound. But I'm getting more and more excited about getting it, plus it was free. I didn't like the somewhat outdated hardware, but coming from the worst android Satan ever though of the LG Ally I should see a performance boost. This is 4 Ally's later and Verizon refusing to give me a Rezound or even honoring a deal on Friday that ended Wednesday. They also dropped my data package as I had to move to a basic phone for about a month, I had unlimited data which you can't even get now. But I can't wait to play some sweet online gaming anywhere I want. Bathroom breaks are going to be a little longer from now on.

Yeah. But from me, I hated it. Rooting was okay. But most roms wouldn't support the gamepad. Its too thick. Looks a bit ugly ( like most xperias except the new one ) Timescape was ugly. All of it was bad except the camera. But I had this phone after a few of my others such as a Nexus S, Desire HD and Desire, so I guess that could've ruined it for me.

You sir have had a lot of phones. I'm already getting ready to get some games when my Xplay gets here

Mael5trom · Mar 6, 2012

So you "hated" the xplay over the way it looks, and its default ui... which is easily changed, you sir sound hard to please, and yet you like the camera? arguably one of the weakest points of the phone imo. different strokes i guess.

I just found stating that you "hated" it a bit harsh, particularly since this guy just bought one. you didn't even go for redeeming features to soften the blow. :/

btw, i added an extended battery, its thick as a tank, and i love it.

Not good decision
Xperia Play specs = 2010 phones specs

single core processor
RAM 512 MB
Internal Memorey 300 MB

Not all games run smoothly,

+

I have not seen any great\perfect custom ROMs for it yet.

You could wait at least "Hayabusa" Xperia Play 2, If u want a phone with gamepad.

I know that a lot of people don't like my comment, but this is the truth.

You spelt memory wrong dummy. Btw you can always root your phone to increase internal memory and delete bloatware so thats out of the question. As for the processer. It's a 1ghz snapdragon which still runs well and is still apparent in other phones as well.

Xperia play in white does NOT look ugly. It's got such a nice curve at the back which makes it look sexy.

I really cant complain though as I got my Xperia play for £150.

People who are complaining are the ones who have bought it for £400-500.

I got it for £400 - £500, I'm not complaining, I love the Xperia play and don't regret spending £400 - £500, Root and Doom Kernel is all I need

Logseman · Mar 6, 2012

Best €400 I could have ever spent. I would love for the phone to last me years and years. I'll wait a bit to buy the successor if it comes. I paid a sucker premium for this one which I could have avoided if I had waited a little bit.

You mean spelled right?

Btw the play is an awesome device but you wont feel that way unless your a gamer and not one of these morons who bought it thinking it was a ps3

He's talking about Xperia in general,can you read?

Zombie Taco · Mar 7, 2012

I know it's not a PS3, I love video games, and I'm getting mine for free. Why is everyone arguing? I appreciate everyone's opinion, it's leaps and bounds over my Ally. Also I plan on getting an extended battery too lol.

Robson · Mar 7, 2012

well i'm pretty happy with it. i'm a "mild" gamer and am into ps1 just for the good old days. i've finally gotten psxperia 2.0 to work and convert the games i used to play. have em installed in the play and it's sweet. no complaints on the memory or the rom or the hardware. as far as i'm concerned, i'm keeping this phone

Erm, no - he means 'spelt', as in past tense of 'spell'.
American English is wrong again.

Don't really understand the hate towards the Play, it's not as if it's the worst of all those phones with gamepad controllers. You know, those thousands of phones.

Congrats! I got mine over the weekend and I'm loving it. Playing Zelda Majora's Mask and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow among other great games I loved as a kid is priceless.

You might want to check this sale that is going on for the relaunch of the android market as google play (Dead Space is $0.49 as well!).

EDIT: can't post the link but google it out

Have fun with your new XP!

Zombie Taco · Mar 7, 2012

It's not the android market anymore?

Logseman · Mar 7, 2012

No, it's the Google Play Store now. As if we didn't have enough Play monikers.already...
