Interesting

As a 26 yr old male, Playstation has played a vital role in my life. The thought of getting Jet Moto, Bloody Roar or Twisted Metal on my phone makes me tingle. If I can trade out my brickbreaker games or solitare for some legit old school PSOne games, I'll abandon my Blackberry allegiance.

Extended warranty is a must. If the controller fails without evidence of damage that should be a warranty issue.

I'm not sure I get it...

If Sony is planning to release Playstation games for all android handsets running v2.3 then why this phone? I'm pretty sure this phone will fail. They should just concentrate on making the software for android work well....

JeffroPuff

You don't get what? If an avid gamer is looking for a phone, then this would be it. Sure, they'll has PS games for 2.3's but what kind of control input limitations would you face? This phone addresses that for the consumers that place a higher importa...
