I've had my Xperia Play for 4 months now and I really like it except for 3 things. The first being the Wifi reciever which is terrible, has a very limited range, strength and frequently drops out. It also lacks internal memory. With about 100 apps on my phone all on the SD card, I'm just about out of inbuilt memory because most apps leave a bit behind on the phone. 400MB or so just isn't enough. The third thing is the lack of RAM. 512mb is still pretty much the standard, but on many occasions I've found it running slow with mininal RAM remaining.

In my opinion, a slightly lighter, slightly thinner phone with at 8GB internal memory, 1GB RAM and a better wifi reciever the Play would be one of the best phones available even without the playstation controls.

I think the PSP was weird in itself. I mean the tech was cool and all with the UmD, but Sony often pushes its own media with their consoles and doesn't always find success. The memory stick duo was and is expensive as hell.

I agree. What a weird idea lol. Seems like they were mainly just trying to be unique.

parentsbasement3143d ago

I wouldn't call any of that "weird"....the book thing maybe...

brettnll3143d ago

It's not always the device that's the weird part. Could also be the timing (PSP Go) and the lack of marketing (PSTV). Makes you really wonder what was the point of following through with releasing these things. Xperia phone could have been something special, then Sony didn't fully support it. WHY!? lol. Just weird.

Wonderbook is weird, but that easy platinum though!

I cant get over this dudes comb over.

brettnll3142d ago

I used to own a psp..first 1000 then 2000 then 3000 then after that I had a psp go and then I finally got a ps vita brand new..then lost that and the later in the year or month got a new used version of the Vita...so the journey has been really out there for me for the systems I used to own..all of them were great in there own special way..

The Top 8 Android Phones of 2013 | The Hardcore Gamer’s Guide to Android Phones

Even as the power of mobile devices is outpacing Moore’s Law, and graphics power seems to double every year, it’s a sad fact that phones simply aren’t marketed toward gamers. Walk into a phone store and ask a rep about a phone’s CPU. If you’re lucky, they might tell you how many cores it has, but getting a real idea about a phone’s performance is going to require some independent research. Even then, not everything is equal. Chips grouped under the same family are sometimes radically different on the inside, and even a savvy shopper might be surprised to find his phone comes up short. We’re here to cut through the nonsense and give you some straight talk about which phones are best when games matter most.

For anyone using iOS, I suggest you try the stock android experience offered with the nexus 4. I used to prefer iOS but android has more customization and very recently competitive build quality.
