1. PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play
2. Not totally integrated

Page 1 of 2

The PlayStation Network has quite a number of PSOne Classics in its archive, some of which may have already found their way into your PS3 or your PSP. Unfortunately, the classics that you already purchased from the PlayStation Store will have to be purchased again if you want to have them on the Xperia Play.

xplay2

The newly-announced Sony Ericsson PlayStation-certified smart phone is perfectly capable of running PSOne games. In fact, it comes preloaded with a "legendary" game from the system, namely Crash Bandicoot. Unfortunately, you won't be able to move the purchased games from your PS3 or PSP over to the Xperia Play.

what if the code of the PS1 games was modified to to be able to run smooth on android hardware and not compatible to what present in PSN).

Then, simple transferring is not possible. And;
wouldn't that be considered as a PORT, you have to pay for it anyway.

Someone needs to rip a page out of the dictionary, highlight the definition of "integration" and mail it to Sony HQ. A phone with the PS logo which can't share PSN content IS NOT BLOODY INTEGRATED.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Phycoforce 2011-02-14 19:12

Apparent scheme so as to not let this not get hacked with all the keys for the PSP and PS3 being extracted from the PS3. I guess this is their way of covering their asses.

# RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — MisterAV 2011-02-15 09:45

it doeasn't matter, they're not forced to use the same keys and also hackers don't have PSN keys

-2 # RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — D 2011-02-14 19:24

I already didn't want it. Phones make crappy gaming platforms and who wants a phone anyway? I don't. The fact you can't transfer content just reassures my decision. I only buy games once and keep them on their respective systems.

+4 # RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Zenshua91 2011-02-14 19:24

Bite me Sony, I wasn't going to buy another expensive phone, but now I'm going to suggest my friends and family not to consider this either. Such a shame, great idea gone to waste by greed. (not surprised)

+3 # RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — TheReaper 2011-02-14 19:32

atleast this one can be legally jailbroke xD.

enjoy phone hackers and geohot

and good good luck sony fighting this battle.. you already lost when apple was jailbroke and the courts declared phone hacks legal.

+1 # mmmmm — emcp6666 2011-02-14 21:26

depending on the country (USA)
it is legal to jailbreak, apple just doesnt wont you to

oh yeah FYI Sony has been locking down some of their android phones, making them harder to root

hence why im not going to be buying any more phones from them, im a samsung boy now

# RE: RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — UltimaXX 2011-02-16 19:01

No wonder Sony decided not to combine the Xperia with the NGP, eh?

-2 # RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — soppyhankins 2011-02-14 19:31

Stop whining everyone!!! There's a PSX emulator in the Android Market. I wasn't going to buy the PSX games anyways.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — But Fukir 2011-02-14 19:31

"there is money hungry sony for you."

True, but the solution is pretty simple IMO.

Just dont buy it!

Dont support crap by buying it!

Dont be like the the nimrods who keep buying activision garbage and who have now enabled craptivision to go on buying spree's and simply buy out and degrade better products from smaller better competition.

Just dont do it for everybodies sake!

And then guess what?!

You'll have a pocketful of cash left over spend on something nice that actually deserves support, like the PSP2.
;)

Suddenly NGages! Thousands of them!

+2 # RE: Nope — HangmanSwingset 2011-02-14 19:51

I've been saying for months that this reminds me of NGage. It probably will suffer the same fate. I really can't wait until George Hotz gets a hold of this one... If you buy something once, you shouldn't have to buy the same thing again. Sony loves making you do that, don't they?

-1 # mmmmm — emcp6666 2011-02-14 21:28

Geohot

would have very little legal and moral reasons to touch this device, and he isnt into the android scene, there are many more better than him

# RE: mmmmm — UltimaXX 2011-02-16 19:02

Sony can't touch anyone for jailbreaking this phone, period. Hell, Geohot doing this legally might actually help the jury better see the similarities between the PS3 (an embedded system) and smartphones (also embedded systems).

it doesnt look like you are talking into a taco tho haha thats a plus

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Tsabrak 2011-02-14 20:08

SONY is greedy.

Selling one game twice to the same customer?

They are gonna be the victims of they own success.

Many people will just use pirate versions.

Sony is trying reversed piracy? ;p

Thrice.
PSX titles first came out for Playstation.

Sony is such shit sometimes

-1 # @Crait — psp2 2011-02-14 20:10

I hope you are reading this man! Its a bloody WASTE man! Just like you for being a bloody Sony Fan Boy! Stating it can play PSP games is like asking for a good product! You can take this piss bro!

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Saito Forte 2011-02-14 20:39

Sounds like Verizon's meddling to me.

+1 # RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — PS360 Owner1 2011-02-14 20:45

Wow Sony, you don't miss to fail.

# dumbass — bdub 2011-02-14 20:47

You people act as if you have no choice than to buy everything again. You already have it on your ps3/psp. There is no need for them to keep giving you free content. You payed for something knowing it was only playable to those select consoles. just because something new comes along doesn't entitle you to any past purchases.

+2 # ... — Lightsource 2011-02-14 21:01

Ugh...anyone else getting a bad feeling about the NGP having the same issue?

+1 # Epic fail — # RE: PSN-purchased 2011-02-14 21:14

I since epic fail here, no older psn account with 600$ worth of content is a no buy for me.

Lets hope the ngp is psn account backwards compatible.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — papajag 2011-02-14 21:17

The phone looks ugly why the hell would anyone want to buy that.

To defend Sony I'd say that Ericson is a completely different department so I guess the PSN...seriously why would anyone want to play PS1 games on your phone? Just save up for the NGP.

# RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — HangmanSwingset 2011-02-14 22:38

Or get a PS1, PS2, or PS3.

# RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — xnamkcor 2011-02-14 22:48

Except that was the whole point of the phone. Look at the control buttons. You can;t make the excuse that the phone is "completely separate" when it has the controller and the PSX/PSS features are the main selling point.

Also, How can Sony Ericsson be completely separate from Sony? They share the Sony name.

# Ouch MY Anus — Hollow_Fang 2011-02-14 22:04

well if i bought this thats IF IT WERE PSN compatible i would have to say oh ya well be the one bent over the table !

sony just ..what are you doing sony ?

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — truk 2011-02-14 22:06

fail all over this. who do they think is going to buy this? obviously not their loyal fans. dumb, dumb, dumb

# sony.u.suck — darthvononida 2011-02-14 22:36

EPIC FAIL!!!!

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — xnamkcor 2011-02-14 22:36

I see no reason why our PSN purchases can't be used on Xperia Play. Not that I ever rebought any PSX games on PSN. I certainly would not RErebuy PSX games on the XPP.

To any loyal user of PSN and buyers of PSX titles will feel a harsh slap on the face by this. This is how Sony rewards loyalty. With a giant F You.

# RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — ichigo pantsu 2011-02-15 02:00

Previous PSN purchases can't be used on Xperia Play because this device is a Xperia Play, not a Playstation. Where does this phone say Playstation on it? In what article or press release does Sony officially refer to this device as a Playstation?

-1 # RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — RandomUser 2011-02-14 23:08

do you people ever stop bitching?

# Nope — Kwitcherbichen 2011-02-15 00:29

That's all they know how to do RandomUser. XD

+1 # RE: RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — xnamkcor 2011-02-15 05:27

Yes.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Malgus 2011-02-15 02:33

no, but would the internet be half as entertaining without people bitching?

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Trelard 2011-02-15 02:43

How fucking stupid are Sony? They've just given anyone who fancies cracking this phone the green light so they can pirate games they already own. As it's based on the Android OS I doubt very much anyone with experience with the OS will have much difficulty cracking it. I won't be buying it myself as I have a perfectly good Android device, but for fuck sake Sony, are you really this hard up for cash to pay for your lawyers?

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Sutorcen 2011-02-15 07:38

I have three words for you.

F U Sony.

ill be doing the smart thing and just backing up my GT2 disc and using the psx emulator.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — PS360 Owner1 2011-02-15 16:19

Sony doesn't care about what you think, what you want, what you'd want the system to have, ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY.

Sony you will bankrupt if you keep this shit up.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Andy Mitchell 2011-02-15 17:57

FPse for android - google it... Well done Sony. Android can handle PS1 games and this is how you repay your loyal customers.

Yet again piracy wins due to their idiocy.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — gotthefrag 2011-02-16 03:41

It's pspgo all over again. Wth Sony?

# What a load of BS!!! — bobby18121 2011-02-18 12:39

Just to get more money surely the first thing you would do to make a playstation phone is to make sure the contents with integrate and carry over, so messing up the pricing isn't enough, they have to make it more obvious, that there trying to get more money out of us, for one great example I think PS one classics should be around the same price, but why are some so cheap compared to FF7 (£7.99) is not like it cost that much more to store three over one disc games on a server, the first few sold will more than make up the cost.

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — lansingone1 2011-02-20 21:14

can't we just use the PSX emu, and map the controls to the gamepad buttons?

# RE: PSN-purchased content cannot be carried over to Xperia Play — Robert Chasmer 2011-02-25 17:21

This is a silly move that hopefully will get addressed. Maybe the PlayStation. Suite and PSN will not share the same login details.which would be pretty rubbish.

Regardless of the the products name or company unit, Sony as a corporation has an obvious interest in this product /service success. They should offer PSN users with ps1 games in their shopping history, one off vouchers to be used for a 75% discount on PlayStation. Suite Ala xperia play ps1 games.

This way the fans should be happy and your existing customer will help promote the new system.
