the best parts of Minecraft aren’t in the Android version which kinda sucks.
ah well, I’m sure it will be a lot cheaper

Which parts would that be?

Yeah what’s not in it? I hadn’t heard it was lacking any features.

Wonder if Minecraft will be available on the NGP down the line.

the xperia play looking like a much more viable option for me.
that list of games looks nice. although id like to hear more about pricing of both the games and the phone first.

I wish all these games would be made available on the PS Store as Mini’s or something. They could just have a software emulation app on the PS3 that you downloaded.

Are these games only available for Xperia Play Android devices or will they be out on the Android Market? Would love to play Minecraft and Lumines on a tablet with a PS3 controller hooked up to it…

Well the exclusives are for just Xperia Play but I would assume they are timed exclusives, much the NOVA 2 was.

Wait so this means that there will be no iOS version of this game??
FUUUUUU….
Hopefully it will come along eventually then….

Nice to see it being supported quite well. Don’t actually fancy getting one of the phones myself though.
