Anyone know how to reinstall the stockrom, currently on the latest but seems to have issues and would like a fresh reinstall of it. Tried using the Sony software that comes with the phone but when I try to 'repair' the phone in the software update section, it says that I can't download the firmware from my IP Address.

If you have a custom kernel on it you have to flash any gingerbread kernel like doomkernel and then flash a ftf firmware depending on your location.
If you have a r800i you can flash the .58 enhanced ftf. Just search for ftf collection for the xperia play, and there you can easily find the right ftf
