I know that much, but there is a playstation store app to buy psone classics with your psn wallet funds.
Like I said, I don't know, the Verizon version doesn't have that. That said, it wouldn't make much sense for them to enable gamesharing on your smartphone because you'll only ever have one. The reason Sony put it on the PS3 was in case if you had multiple PS3s (one in the bedroom, one in the living room, one in your second house, one for your brother).
Just wanted to ask are you enjoying the phone? As I remember it was stock GB without the blootware custom interface. Is it a smooth experience? I was thinking about getting it or the Incredible 2, and decided to get the Incredible 2 instead since I had the incredible 1 and liked it.
EDIT: And that's exactly why Sony took out gamesharing from the PS3 now. You can only gameshare up to 2 devices, and on the Vita you can't at all.
This phone is incredible. It uses the same "reality" display the bravia tv's do. And the snapdragon proscessor can keep up with the Galaxy SII. The controls are excellent for most games and the touchscreen is very responsive. Next month ICS will begin to be distributed through the PC-Companion and Media Go.
That's not true, it has a sub-par LCD screen with noticeable ghosting. The Xperia Arc and some of Sony's other phones came with the Bravia Engine, which enhances the contrast and color of images to make them look better. While this can be ported to the Xperia Play (I actually have it), it doesn't make up for the ghosting.
The processor absolutely can't hang with the S II, it's just the high-end single core snapdragon from a year ago. While it's adequate, I'm a heavy user and can notice stalls when performing intensive tasks or multitasking like a maniac. That said, it runs good enough.
The controls are good, but the real problem is that there aren't enough quality games that take full advantage of the Xperia Play's controls, and you'll probably end up mostly playing touch screen games. The only saving grace for the controls are for use with emulators, in which case they're freakin' awesome.
As for the touchscreen, it's as you'd expect, nothing extraordinary.
The phone only comes stock Gingerbread if you got the Verizon version, not the AT&T or the global version. The ICS rollout to the phone should begin soon, like you said, and I'm glad Sony is taking upgrading serious after their whole X10 debacle with Android 1.6.
