what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy comm and today I've got a special Android treat for you literally a treat it's an android sucker from the happy folks at the Sony store for the Xperia Play launch they had a couple of extras including this keychain as well says Android is ready to play I sure hope so let's find out so you guys have probably heard of this device it's the Xperia Play or what was once known as the PlayStation phone I was super excited for it ever since the announcement now let's find out if it can live up to all the hype some people were not impressed by the spec list that this phone ended up shipping with but hey if it plays the games it's supposed to play I guess it does the trick right so anyway here's a phone itself I'm going to place it to the side so that I can get through all the other things in the box I'm gonna place everything down on the table here so I get the box out of the way and then we'll move on with all the juicy details fairly straightforward stuff everything you'd expect with a phone we got our paperwork a little QuickStart guide but let's get those out of the way a USB cable which you've all seen before it's micro USB on the other side a little travel power adapter and a 1500 milliamp hour battery which is pretty much average for phones in this sort of range we got a decent headset we've also got adjustable earpieces which is nice now the phone here's the important part now I have to say it's a little chubby I mean it's chubbier than what you're used to in android smartphones or any smart phone for that matter but there's a reason why and I'm sure you know why and we're about to find out in a second why let's get these protectors off as she is damn she's beautiful look at that that's why she's fat and she does so much more than any other phone the mechanism feels tight this thing feels pretty high-quality all around we got our shoulder buttons on the side along with our volume rocker and then on the bottom side we have our microUSB along with our headphone jack there's obviously a camera on the back side along with an LED flash and our power button along the top so you got to insert the battery here to get it booted up and the nice thing is to give you an 8 gigabyte microSD dam that mechanism feels tight so here we are booting up and guys I got to be honest this thing took forever to boot so I mean I got to cut this one here because this thing took forever it was also Rogers branded which I wish it wasn't but anyway you slide that screen up like that and you can unlock it in landscape mode oh I got to do a couple set up things here hang on one second so now I don't have a SIM card installed right now but I should be okay because really what I want to look into is some of the games that are on here so you have it and once you're in the OS as you slide the screen up you go right into the Xperia Play section I've gone ahead and installed air attack HD and let me tell you this thing looks wicked on here the depth and the colors all look pretty sweet go ahead and try FIFA 10 which is included for free with the device and this game looks pretty good for something that's free anyway I was waiting for some action to happen in a game play here and that turns out me getting scored on is the first action but as you can see the game really helps to bring out the vibrant colors of this screen and it really gives you what you're used to in any FIFA game but in a handheld with proper tactile controls now I'm really happy that Sony included a bunch of games for free such you can start playing right out of the box and get an impression of what this little machine can do you can see you got madden star battalion fifa bruce lee and i already put that attack HD on there that's not included free here's a look at the OS and it's got Sony skin on it which sort of lags it down a little bit that being said underneath it all you got Gingerbread running which I was happy to see they easily could have just thrown 2.2 on there but you can see the different notification bar here it is up against some comparables the Galaxy S and the iPhone 4 as you can see it's chubbier that's for sure but it's understandable why here you got your different buttons they're all tactile and it's beautiful control it's all real solid real nice feeling you got those optical thumb sticks the d-pad and here's that beautiful mechanism anyway guys be sure to subscribe I got the full review coming up later on and I'll really test this thing out along with the pre-installed games check out our channel and stay tuned
