The Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY gaming themed “PlayStation phone” has officially launched – at least on the networks that aren’t struggling to get supply. To celebrate, Sony Ericsson held a party. Some famous, youth-oriented celebrities were in attendance!
Here are some photographs and a press release:
That man is Tinchy Stryder. I would’ve guessed that one correctly. The woman there with him is Jameela Jamil. I would not have guessed that one. Not sure what she does.
Some people in costumes. Must’ve been a bit of a weird party. Here’s a press release:
Tinchy Stryder and Jameela Jamil launch world’s first PlayStation certified smartphone
Today, Tinchy Stryder and Jameela Jamil emerged from the wreckage of a crashed helicopter set at the Xperia™ PLAY Rooms in London to launch Sony Ericsson’s groundbreaking new handset Xperia™ PLAY.
The Xperia™ PLAY Rooms popped up for one day only to immerse consumers in a surreal fusion of gaming genres. Visitors were subjected to a world that featured everything from a fluorescent blue forest, burnt out helicopter, American muscle car and a Shanghai street bar.
Commuters arrived bright and early to be among the first in the world to try out their gaming skills on Xperia™ PLAY, with some gaming enthusiasts swapping their suits for Spiderman or Stormtrooper costumes. A select few also got their hands on tickets to Sony Ericsson’s private launch party, with performances by Tinchy Stryder and The Nextmen.
Tinchy Stryder commented, “I’m a big gamer so it’s great to be involved with the launch of Xperia™ PLAY. I spend a lot of my time on the road, so to have a mobile with a PlayStation gaming pad is cool.”
Jameela added, “I got to launch an awesome gaming phone and hang out with Tinchy, although he needs to learn to be a little bit less competitive when it comes to playing games.”
The Xperia™ PLAY goes on sale globally on the 1st April 2010. The Xperia™ PLAY Rooms were open to the public for one day only on the 31st March until 5pm.

HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
