I would play a heap more games on my Android if it had a D-Pad. That's the best thing about the Xperia in my opinion. The controls do make the phone a little thicker than a regular one... I'll wait and see if they can improve on this with future generations of the phone. It'll be a while before I upgrade regardless, but I'll keep an eye on the Xperia.

Playstation Pocket including CoolBoarders 2 is good! It's a shame it won't be available right away, I spent a LOT of time on that game. The thing is, though, all the grabs required use of the shoulder buttons, including combination of L2 and R2. Are there four shoulder buttons on this phone, or only 2? I'm sure this isn't the only game that requires use of all four shoulder buttons from the PSone era.
Crash Bandicoot as a pre-installed game is also awesome.

Coolboarders 2 is available at launch so you wont miss out from day 1 along with
Destruction Derby
Jumping Flash
MediEvil
Syphon Filter
Yes there is only 2 shoulder buttons L1 and R1. But some developers do configure the analogue pads for L2 and R2, i have played a few games from the Android market like this already. I havent played Coolboarders 2 as yet but will do and come back to you about wether there is a L2 & R2 solution.
Just to add all of the PSone games for the PLAY are the full version, so you get all the classic features of all of these. Cheers JB

Thankfully hardly any psone games used the L3 and R3 buttons.

Yep....Both Optus and Telstra give you the option to purchase the Xperia PLAY outright, allowing you to then choose a prepaid plan that works for you.
