For those Xperia Play users our there, make sure Sony knows you won’t forget this and won’t just be walked over.

This is a total (probably not permitted to swear here) move by S/Fony. I
bought my XP a couple of months ago because of the commitment given by
SE to update it to ICS. To now cancel it with a half halfhearted beta
release and an insincere statement is just typical Sony doing what they
do best; alienating their few remaining customers foolish enough to
place trust in them in the first place… count me on that idiot list.

Is Sony seriously telling us that what they promised is actually
technically impossible? its bs to suggest that they can’t improve upon
the supposed gaming problems. Lets say some of the problems can only be
resolved by the publishers releasing an update or fix, if they do that
down the line then great, otherwise the buck stops with the publisher.
Its nonsense to suggest Sony would be slammed for that. What Sony is
responsible for is updating its own games (PS/pocket Store), encouraging
publishers to do the same, and fulfilling its commitments.

Lets say that Sony can’t (or more likely won’t) release the promised ICS
update, what’s stopping them from releasing a value pack and the source
code so that other devs can prove it possible and their own dev team
just incompetent/unwilling. I mean, other than their long cherished
stubbornness and couldn’t give a damn attitude? Never mind, I guess I
answered my own question.

UK consumer law should now mean than I’m entitled to return my handset
for a full refund, and I fully intend to do just that. I loved having a
real gamepad to play my games with while maintaining the functionality
of a mid-range smartphone., which needles to say beats the awkwardness
of playing games by poking my fingers at the screen, but I’d frankly
rather have all my fingers chopped off than keep a dead phone or buy
another Sony product again. The only question left is what next, Samsung
or Apple.

This is total and utter BS from Sony. I think that they just didn’t want to put in the work to make ICS work (read: they are lazy) and that’s that. I’m running AOKPlay on my play and it runs smoother then butter sliding on ice. All the Play users should be telling Sony to get their rear in gear and get ICS out!

Haha! I like you. You get all fired up!!!

Carefull though. I think the PC term is “mentally deficient” these days =).

Seriously though…get out of that contract. You only live once. Might as well enjoy it.

You spelled dog dawg, and you think owning a nicer phone makes someone a big deal? Lmao, not only are you borderline retarded, you’re also a poseur.

mm Iove the smell of cop-out in the morning!

Nah I don’t know what the problem is, I just know what it probably
isn’t, see there’s this thing called reasoning. You might wanna try it
after you realize that blur isn’t the cause of all of life’s problems.

Haha! You really don’t have a clue do you? Never owned a Droid 3, young buck. And, for obvious reasons, never will. But, I assume that that you probably own an Xperia Play; falling for all the hype.

Might be a good idea to buy out of that contract and step up with the big dawgs my friend. I heard the One X is kind of cool =)…

On that note, have yourself a wonderful night my friend. You’ve actually given me a reason to smile this evening.

and that my dear butthurt Droid3 owner is exactly my point, so next time you wanna blame blur with no reason, why don’t ya just go kick rocks? Alright big man?

No sh!t you idiot. but those games aren’t suddenly using more RAM just because it’s ice cream sandwich. So where’s the problem?
