You can make the preorder online, check on rogers website, and on the search bar put xperia play, they are taking pre orders until May 1st, you can choose either color and the plan, always with 3 years contract, they dont allow off contract preorders.

SE is in talks with the carriers to make that happend. Could be why Rogers and Verizon is taking longer to get their phones out. I always wondered why Verizon's phone comes with stock gingerbread instead of sony's skinned version.
