    Looks like they have some available on their ebay shop - item no. 310353377266

    Only 10 left at time of posting and selling quite quickly. Showing as £149.99 and states it includes £5 top up.

    Just bought an Xperia Play from the Chitter Chatter store in Romford.
    I can confirm that the T-Mobile package is in fact unlocked (have my Orange SIM installed).
    The store insisted on activating the T-Mobile SIM though.
    The included microSD was 8gb.

    What on earth is going on with the cost of the xperia play?

    This was like £300-400 last month, £200 last week now its £150?

    At this rate by the time this pre-order goes live some places will be giving you money to take them off their hands

    Just phoned up to get info. The guy said they are unlocked and unbranded so I ordered one. But why do I get the feeling it's gonna drop more by next week :|? He said delivery will start from the 22nd Oct...

    My sister bought this phone a couple of months ago for £330 oO ... needless to say she's not thrilled about me texting her these deals

    Preorder = COLD!



    Not cold as it is a good price for the phone but the question is might the price go down further??
  8. deleted211747's avatar
    Cant believe some users are voting this cold, it says delivery by the 12th of October. Although the phone has flopped sales wise, you get alot of tech and spec for £150.

    Many thanks to the Op

    I think he is trying to say that the phones being sold by Chitter Chitter can't be UK stock because they have 8GB. The implication from the poster is that the UK version of the Xperia Play should have 16GB.

    Mate, if I had one in hand (and actually wanted one) I would hold on for dear life just now. You might save a few quid, but then again, you might not get one at all. Stuff always gets cheaper...you can't always have the lowest price. But you have the thing in your mitts so get playing!

    These phones have a common problem of the power IC going faulty, therfore failing to turn on or it requires you to plug in the charger first then the battery for it to switch on! be warned about that. These phones are good while they last and that isn't very long

    You were told it would be before the 12th, or the 22nd. It would appear, this this forum, that we are getting them earlier - we should be grateful for this, this is an extra. If you want a company that follows a jobsworth system exactly and religiously, try Comet (I'll never use them again personally, precisely because even the MD couldn't bend their systems enough to match common sense, i.e. just call bloody parcelforce and give them the correct address!) You don't know what's gone on in the background. Perhaps your handset was allocated to you, and then, just before dispatch, someone spotted a problem with the box and recalled it back in to check it - who knows!

    As long as you get it by the date that you were told it would be delivered by, no wrong doing has been done to you. I'll be very happy if mine arrives by Wednesday, but ultimately they quoted 22nd on the page when I ordered it so I can't complain.

    If you complain at someone with an unreasonable basis or unpleasantly, don't expect more than the minimum they are required to do for you. Politeness, however, opens doors, especially when registering a (valid) complaint.

    It seems quite a few peoples interpretation, in fairness.

    Personally I would be happy to recieve the phone by the time they promised it - anything else is just gravy. It's not a queue of people, there are circumstaces that can move you back, chill out, relax and enjoy your phone when it gets here!

    Each to there own though!

    For those who get one, don't buy the black jelly type case that is also a HUKD thread. Try this one at ebay:

    ebay.co.uk/itm…b5c

    It actually looks like the picture (which most don't), looks pretty classy and is much thinner. For a few pence more its a no brainer and the Play still looks like a nice smart phone.
    Oh, one more thing. This black jelly one makes it very hard to press the chrome keys below the screen. The ebay one above does not obstruct them.

Item number 190527208284If for any reason that doesnt work, i just searched for xperia play case and it was the second on the list at £1.99 delivered....much, much better than the jelly case which i forgot to mention also covers the speakers which is dumb when you consider how this handset sounds.



    does the case have to be removed to slide out the controls?
  24. h0220's avatar
    I ordered anyway from their ebay site, none left now. I assumed/hope it'll be unlocked as t mobile dont appear to sell the xperia play on pay as you go directly.
  25. deleted55935's avatar
    Sorry....i just meant unlocked.....sim card is included but the phones not locked to any network......

    could i stick a virgin mobile sim from a blackberry 9300 in this?


    Virgin SIM should work on this phone even if it is locked to T-mobile.
    Someone few pages back confirmed Virgin Mobile SIM working on this.

    Same here, mine was delivered this morning so you should get yours soon i would guess
  28. Tensei's avatar
    Just received now. Ordered on friday lunchtime, never received a confirmation or any sort of email. It came with an 8GB card(Boo!) and is unlocked but came with a tmobile sim already inserted in the phone which made me think it was locked initially as I received a tmobile text message as soon I turned it on but after I inserted my giffgaff sim I realised it was unlocked.

    Also, it came with a voucher for two cineworld tickets.

    To clarify my own comment, the voucher you get has to be used before oct 31st, do this and you recieve a code by email that you use on the cineworld website, the code via email is valid until 31/01/2012.
    So make sure you register the voucher before oct 31 and then make sure you keep the email for use in the future!
