Mothers, lock up your gamers. The PlayStation phone has arrived.
And while it’s a bit on the chubby side, we think that, for Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play, big is beautiful.
You could almost call the Xperia Play the shorter, fatter cousin to the svelte Xperia Arc, which Sony Ericsson once described as the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” At .62 inches, the Play looks positively bulky compared to its Xperia-line relatives — a veritable Jan Brady to the Arc’s Marcia.

Burning Question: Why Do DVDs Still Have Region Codes?
While vacationing in France, you find a DVD of Ishtar. Score! (It’s never been released on DVD in the US).
