But, as this was not the case, I would have given the choice to those who were interested in upgrading to do so even if it meant unstability concerning games.

On the other hand, what is going to happen with the owners of Xperia Play? Are we at least going to get some kind of compensation for this outrage? How about an improved version of GB which includes a better camera with panoramic photos and some other improvements? Is that too much to ask too? :(

The only way to get back at these lying, deceving companies which provide no decent after sales support, which abuse our rights and despise customers the minute they get their money is to stop buying their products.

Xperia Play owners have every right to feel abused, deceived and should get the right compensation.
As Sony only cares about making MORE money, the only possible action is to stop buying their products.
If their sales and their profits actually diminsh, they will immediately realise they have done something wrong.
And Sony's not a dumb company, but they're just realising and testing whether their customers might be just that...

Contrarily to ALL that had been announced, the Xplay will NOT get ICS update.

That actually reveals how UNimportant customers are to large companies.

No feedback to customers' output:
NO 3G Video Calls;
NO FM Radio;
No camera improvements (as were made to other Xperia phones)
(List may continue).

Sony has actually lied and deceived all those who bought the phone based on the announced premise that it would be "upgradeable".

Maybe, we are also guilty of buying more and more (often) phones that are not that different... but are more and more expensive.

Unless we stop financing these companies with our purchases, their web of deceival won't finish.
They'll just keep us coming back for more...

LG (P970) has got 3g video caling. The galaxy 2 also allows 3g "native" video calling.
That means today's top sellers across Europe provide video calling as a strong selling point.

Sony's sales are dwindling and the poor customer support is an essential reason for that.
Not many people wish to buy a new model and LOSE functions.

For the price the Xplay was introduced in continental europe, most phones provided native video calls.
Result? The Xplay didn't sell nearly as much as expected and the poor sales continued, despite sucessive price drops which didn't work.
Other example/causes for this evident failure? Any midrange phone has got FM Radio - The Xplay doesn't.

Is sony going the right way? It's just not me: Sales figures and market shares also seem to agree.... NO, it isn't.

There is no option to place a voice OR a video call on the UI.

For all those who haven't got unlimited or free wifi connections, for those who have to pay extra for limited traffic data connections, it does make a difference. =(

you have plenty of game that work w. the gamepad and all other function normally, through the touch screen.
if you want to play psx games, you'll need to look for compatible/adapted gams and emulators as the Xplay is not meant/designed to play psx games. the only one you've got on the phone is an adapted version of crash bandicoot.

Sony has delayed ICS, so only a few Xperia model have got it.
Keep your fingers crossed, though.
The word is that ICS make the phone 'laggy', slower and there ain't no fm radio or 3g video calling...
I guess that is why sammmy phones are selling like hot cakes.

Xplay is a very great phone... actually its underrated during its debut. its a great smart phone but if you'll compare it to the latest phone announced of course it won't satisfy your expectations. its a great smart phone with game console...
the negative side of this is its weight.
but of course i'll wait for the sony xperia play2! :))

Cant believe people are moanin about 3g video calls, if you want them so bad get an app, your all just bone idle, the weight and low memory is the only downside to the play overall a freakin awesome phone I wouldnt upgrade because you get these phones with all the power and no where to use it so really dont see the point
