ArsTechnica: At the Game Developers Conference I was finally able to get a look at the Xperia Play and do some gaming. The good news is the hardware is solid, the sliding mechanism is nice and smooth, and all the buttons work just like you'd expect. The question that remains is whether or not customers are going to want to buy new hardware just to play classic PlayStation titles.
Engadget - Okay, so maybe physical keyboards were a bigger deal back in 2010 when this thing was filed, or maybe -- just maybe -- we'll one day see an Xperia Play smartphone with both a gamepad and a full QWERTY counterpart. A patent for such a contraption was just granted to Sony by the USPTO, which stakes its claim for a device with two sliding mechanisms in addition to the display.
MobileBliss: Sony have teamed up with Pixelbite, a full-size RC maker, to re-create a game of Reckless Racing 2 with "real" cars.
Engadget - Earlier this month, the good folks at OnLive released apps for both iOS and Android, granting mobile access to its cloud gaming service. However, its implementation was incomplete -- there was no support for the Xperia Play's slide-out controls.
