Hasta La Gadget!

Sony’s gaming network keeps getting defiled by hackers, but in the meantime the company’s mobile division has delivered a shiny new PlayStation phone to distract us.

Available for online preorder Thursday, Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play is an Android-powered smartphone equipped with a built-in game controller for playing PlayStation games. We got our hands on the device for some one-on-one time. Our first impressions post-Play time? Game on, we say.
