We all know Minecraft is coming to Android and a few of us lucky people have had the opportunity to play it already although in a more raw beta version. As the time draws closed for the Pocket Edition of Minecraft to come out on Android, Sony Ericsson has released a little teaser video. When we say little, we mean little.
PopCap Games has announced a partnership with Sony Ericsson which will see Chuzzle, Peggle and Plants vs Zombies come pre-installed on the Xperia Mini and the Xperia Mini Pro Android devices. This means that European owners of these devices will be the first to actually get PopCap games to play.
Sony has released a couple more Playystation One classic games onto the Android Market for the Xperia Play. Syphon Filter 3 and WipEout are both now available for purchase for fans of the originals to play. We should mentioned that Sony should take a few lessons though on how to take good screenshots.
One feature that is missing from the Xperia Play is an HDMI port which we have always found to be somewhat of an interest item to be missing. Considering that the Xperia Play is essentially a game controller with a small screen, one would think the ability to stream games to the big screen via HDMI would have been included.
Sony Ericsson for awhile had some great promo videos for the Xperia Play. Everything some twisted looking sweatshop thumb surgery to Kristen Schaal going slightly nuts or speaking as the voice of Satan when the video is played backward. Now we get to see the outtakes that happened while filming those.
Well now that the bad news regarding the Xperia Play, at least for our friends in New Zealand, is out of the way, there is some good news to report on as well. For all of us Android gamers here in the US, the Xperia Play on Verizon has finally gotten a pre-order and launch date along with some pricing to round it all off.
Well here is something you don’t hear every day. According to their Facebook page, Vodafone in New Zealand has had their entire stock of Xperia Plays for use in the launch of the device down there stolen. Yes, you read that right. The entire stock of Xperia Play Android devices has been ripped off.
Sony Ericsson’s Android gaming device, the Xperia Play, has been out for a little bit now and with the ability to play games using the control pad, you would think people would be all for buying Playstation One games. Being a Playstation certified device comes with some benefits, sales apparently isn’t one of them though… yet.
Yet another major announcement in the opening keynote session came out and one that everyone should be happy about. Google has partnered with 10 OEMs and carriers to guarantee timely Android updates to devices. This is in order to combat OS fragmentation which has been happening a lot. One device gets their update while others wait for months.
With the new launch of the Xperia Play around the world, and coming to the US shortly, we decided it would be best to continue to inform our readers that if they want to unlock the bootloader and gain full root access to their new device they can do so without any super special methods. If you are still interested feel free to read more.
