PlayStation fans, take heart: Your need to game on the run will be satisfied on May 26, the U.S. launch date for Sony's Xperia Play smart phone--a.k.a. the PlayStation Phone.
The first "PlayStation certified smartphone" will debut on Verizon Wireless for $199 with a two-year contract. Its physical features, including dedicated PlayStation-like control buttons, match what was unveiled in February.
Seven games, such as Madden NFL 11 and Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior, will come pre-installed on the phone with another 50 titles available through Verizon's V Cast mobile store. Sony hasn't said whether the Xperia Play or future PlayStation phones will have access to the relaunched PlayStation Network.
Verizon plans on taking pre-orders for the PlayStation phone tomorrow. Will you be on line for one?
