Four Free EA Games For Xperia Play Owners

Exciting news for the one person who bought an Xperia Play – yet more free games! Sony Ericsson has teamed up with EA to give away four top titles.

Need For Speed: Shift, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and limb chopping scare-a-thon Dead Space are yours to download for zero pence. Getting your hands on the games could not be easier:

  1. Slide the phone open to reveal the on-screen Game Launcher which will show the four free games available.
  2. You’ll then be prompted to connect to a WiFi network.
  3. Once connected, simply touch the icon of the game you want and your download will begin.
  4. Cry bitter tears that you bought an Xperia Play rather than wait for a Vita.

Step four is optional.

  1. I’d rather play Monster Hunter!

    *cries*

  2. “Does anyone actually own one?” At £169 (Argos had them at until stocks ran out) I think it’s a steal. Still awaiting mine to be delivered from Expansys. It will keep me going until Vita / phone contract expires in May.

    • :O, how did I miss that?

    • I wouldn’t call £169 a steal. It’s an average phone at best these days and the PS Suite is hardly something that is worth buying a phone over except if you are really desperate for a PSP/Android smartphone hybrid.

      • I wouldn’t say they were that bad. My mates got one. Its a bit chunky, but perfectly capable phone. Played a few games on it, seems to handle them well enough.

        I’m not a big mobile gamer so its not really the phone for me, but he likes it :)

      • expansys had them down to £149 last week. sold out pretty quick but these types of deals are popping up everywhere.
        id call £169 a great price for a phone with 1ghz processor, 4+ inch screen and the latest edition of android. especially as it has the PlayStation controls for gaming and supports 4G. and only half a year ago these had a rrp of £600!

      • You must have been looking elsewhere David as Expansys have not dropped their price lower than £199. And they have been out of stock for 10 days (check my tweets on this, my favourite subject atm).

      • I think it was that price with a promotional code, I may be wrong though as I havn’t really been following it since I’m very happy with the phone I’ve got.

  3. Doing it now!!!
    Thanks TC

  4. Sweet, i’ve been waiting for a offer like this since i got the phone! I’ve been looking at the 4 titles for the last few days, looks like it lucky i kept thinking a few extra days! :)

  5. Looks cool, was never really interested due to the price and the twiddly thumb sticks. Showing support is always nice though..

    • * i say sticks, i meant pads..

  6. Traded in my 360 for an xperia play last friday, brilliant phone and loving it. Minecraft is brilliant if a little bare bones atm, these free ea games are fun (dead space proves this phone is more than capable at hq games!) and the big screen with android 2.3 makes everything else brilliant. Plus ive got rather hooked to Tap Tap 4, better song library than most music games at a really small price

    • Just hope the keep supporting it, some PSP games would be nice (cant see how they couldnt run)

  7. Hmm free games for my xperia? Ta vaery much.

  8. I’d rather get a Xperia Arc or Ray.

  9. I have one B-) had these free games for ages, but since getting 100% on asphalt 7 I am.always online with that. It’s awesome, like NFS before it went silly…love my xperia play…if only I could play street fighter 2 turbo on.it….

  10. Loving your articles TC, they always bring a smile after a long day!
