Looks like Sony is not talking the Xperia PLAY lightly. I just recieved an email from Sony Ericsson stating;
“I just wanted to give you a quick heads up about some news that went live today on the Sony Ericsson front. We have a list of 60 games that will be ready for play on the Xperia™ PLAY when the device launches.”
60 Games! That is awesome. Definitely an awesome way to launch a device. Many devices suffer from lack of content, but this does not seem to be the case for the Xperia PLAY.
