[Q] Playstation Mobile on Verizon Xperia Play?

As some of you probably know, Sony released the excellent Playstation Mobile store to it's Playstation certified devices.
This includes the Xperia Play! (Super Crate Box anyone!)
http://www.playstation.com/psm/store/en.html
HOWEVER, the Verizon Xperia Play won't install it running 2.3.2 (needs 2.3.4). I believe there is an official (but buggy) 2.3.4 update that can be gotten OTA. However I purchased a blacklisted Xperia because I only wanted it for games and it will not do OTA updates.
My phone is rooted and has the X-parts recovery app installed for CFW and recovery.
What is my best option for getting this app on my phone?
THANKS!
I am on 2.3.3 Verizon R800x and it works fine for me... no issues

OK great, so it probably only needs 2.3.3.
So what is the best way to upgrade my rooted 2.3.2 to 2.3.3?
Thanks!
I'd use flashtool to flash the 2.3.3 update. Then use superoneclick to reroot your phone which still works on 2.3.3.
You can grab 2.3.3 from here (R800x is the verizon version which you maybe know but just making sure ):
http://xperiagamer.com/Stock-Roms/233-se-stock-firmware-for-flashtool.html
Just flash the 2.3.3 ftf file for r800x using flashtool.
R800X- unlocked/AOKP/4.0.4

Great! Thanks!
What do I need Xparts for? To install after I have upgraded to 2.3.3? I already have it installed on 2.3.2.
Thanks again! People are always so helpful here!

Is this CFW Installer better/different to X-Parts in anyway?

CFW Inst. and X-Parts are the same app.... it was renamed.
OK Great. X-Parts installed fine. Everything is running like a chap, SuperOneCLicked and all ready to go.
Damn Super Crate Box is addictive! Best $3.50 I ever spent!

Have you tried playing it in the bathroom or a waiting room using your laptop? Just not as good.
Hell even playing it on the couch sucks when playing on a laptop. Also not as good without a controller. Which yes you can use for you PC, but even less portable.
Is that worth $3.50 to be able to play on the Vita and the Xperia play for one price? Hells to the yes!
When i want to play SCB, i'll sit to my desktop. When i want to play it on my couch i'll just load Minecraft or Asphalt 7, because i dont need to play same game everywhere, all day 'n' night
Anyways i dont have credit card and we dont have prepaid cards there and also there arent any Google Play giftcards. And i hate warez also.
And i live in a country next to Germany lol.

That's great. Me either. That's why I play full scale games on my PC and small bite sized games like SCB on my Xperia Play.
So you want to judge me for spending $3.50 to play a game more suited to portables, on a portable? That's why you jumped in this thread? To attack me for buying a game on a portable that I could get for free on a PC?
Thanks for adding to the discussion.
LOL @ the ppl at XDA, srsly you should read that again. I just pointed that the game is free on PC and paid on portable devices.. That should be opposite. And you are talking like i punched you 10times to face and then said you are awful ******.
+ You asked, i answered = i dont care
Anyways to thread, isnt there any info from some creators that they will announce it for our Play?

When you begin a sentence pointing out something is fee with "LOL". That suggests you are laughing at someone for paying for it.
I didn't ask you anything, you just jumped in the the thread to LOL because the game is free on PC.
And nobody acted like you did what you described, that's ridiculous.
Maybe english is not your first language and you don't realise how it reads.
To be clear, I wasn't offended by what you said, just pointing out why the fact that is free on PC is irrelevant to my desire to play it on my Xperia. The game is amazing, it's a perfect fit for a portable and $3.50 is next to nothing. It's also the last type of game I care to play on a PC. The Xperia and the Vita is a perfect fit.

Nobody will post the apk/data as this is against xda rules.( this is a paid app)
However if you search for remove restrictions on play store you will find a work around.
Search on Google/xda.

[Q] What country code to use to buy PS1 titles?

OK, so I know that $ony in their infinite wisdom has removed all PS1 titles from the store. If this were true why are they still listed?
I have gone through and test about 25 market enabler codes from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797625
And tried to see which code will allow me to buy Wipeout... so far none work. They all say "Not available in your country". So I am wondering if there are any countries that can still access these games:
Syphon Filter 1:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playstation.NCEA01910_0
Syphone Filter 3:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playstation.NCEA03697_0&feature=related_apps
MediEvil:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laystation.NCEA00311_0&feature=also_installed
Destruction Derby:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laystation.NCEA00008_0&feature=also_installed
Wipeout:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laystation.NCEA00010_0&feature=also_installed
Anyone willing to test a few more? I will keep testing as well and report if I find any code(s) that work and allow users to buy these games. I used to use Roger from Canada and it worked but that is no longer the case.
Forgot to add:
Wild Arms:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...29tLnNvbnkucGxheXN0YXRpb24uTkNVQTk0NjA4XzAiXQ..

You mind if I ask which carrier in the UK you are with? I would like to try that one. I did try a few other UK ones prior to posting this thread, but they were all a no go. Thanks for letting me know..

So did anyone figure out how to buy wipeout?
Out of interest has anyone noticed how jerky wipeout is from the play store? Might have to try an ISO for psxperia as every other psxperia game I have converted is smooth!

I have tried so many codes, even going to the extent of using Docomo and my Japanese VPN to see if JPN has access... each time resulting in a "Not available in your country". Even with about 30+ codes tested (not kidding)
For now I am taking a break, I might try again this weekend.
Whats the point, Sony is not even pushing the Playstation brand onto android devices.

My Play Is Dead

Hello xperia play community. My play seems to have died today. Im pretty sure its the flex cable but not 100 percent sure. The phone turns on and i can see a light coming from thescreen but nothing shows up on the screen. Anyways no matter what the problem i cant fix it as im in egypt and no easy access to the parts right now. When i get back to usa i might fix it or just move on to a new phone (depends on my dad). Anyways i wanted to say thanks to all the xperia play users who made the play better and last longer. I'll try too stay with you guys in the forums and help out but without my play im not sure if ill have the interest. Hopefully this is only a temporary good bye and not permanent.
Special Thanks to devs and helpful people @FXP - without our play would be dead long ago @CosmicDan - awesome kernel and roms
@wedgess - also awesome kernels and roms @cj360 - cdma support with slim bean one of my favorite roms
@paxChristos - i want arround when he was here but i know cdma would suck even more without him @fma965 - has plenty of great guides and helped when i first started with my play
@vokal1992 - gin2jellybean and a camera fix for cdma stock with custom kernels
@Spizzy01 - aurora rom and adreno booster and attempted to make cdma version
@DiKeJ - dixperia projects @DooMLoRD - all your great kernels
anybody else who i forgot to mention or was here before my time thanks and the rest of the community
Darks Team (You guys are Awesome)
@smokerman @darkharbinger81 @Lordomn @cyrusalmighty
I know this thread is kind of taking up space but i felt it necessary to thank everyone before i leave (maybe not for sure i might be back if i fix it though there seems to be too many problems with it to bother)
Sucks to here that bro. Hopefully you can fix it or find a cheapo replacement for it.
Damn...
If you are lucky, it's only flex damage. And if it still vibrate when powering on, there is still life in that Play.
You touch me guy... Credits for all amazing dev after ure play died... Wouaw

It was mainly my cousins faults. They never saw a phone like that before and thought it was awesome. So one of the little ones pulled it from me from one side while it was slid open by the screen and this caused some screen issues but it still worked then one of them through a TV remote at me and hit straight on (he had some pretty good aim lol) anyways its most likely only flex cable because it still turns on just nothing on the screen. Hopefully it'll be easy to fix

Not until I get back to USA which is 20 days away and even then I might not fix it because I was stuck on jellybean even when it was working because of Al's. So I'll either completely replace it or get a different phone

Awww maan, that's a bad information after my back home from summer-house . Wish you got this working again, any possible way like buying new one or fixing flex cable. Sh*t, bad news bad news.....Thanks for mentioning me, but still - pity like hell. But be sure, I didn't forget about so polite persons like you, maybe go to Poland not USA for some device, then we can meet?
And don't leave us - you have good knowledge, so any help here will be appreciated by community I hope .
Ow. No thanks for me? feeling left out dude. Well that's sucks that your play broke. I heard their are some pretty cheap plays on amazon when you get back to the states

Sounds like some of my cousins, they went crazy when I first got my play.
I wish i still had my play but theres too many things wrong with it to fix. I got it checkd and als, flex were damaged and some other thing (maybe digitizer not sure) . So it looks like im just going to replace it with another phone
but i might also get another play because my dad and his freind have a store that they sell some phones and he has an r800x that has a little dent in the side. Other than that it works and if it doesnt sell i might just get it.
