Report: Verizon Wireless Getting Xperia Play In May
Reports from CNET have found that Verizon Wireless won't stock the Xperia Play until "late next month or early May," while Rogers in Canada is scheduled to get it on April 14th. The Verizon version of the phone will be largely similar to the stock version, but of course VZW will include the Android Kindle app, Skype Mobile, VZ Navigator and the VCast App Store. It will also ship with a half-dozen gaming titles: Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, Star Battalion, Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior, Madden NFL '11, The Sims 3, and Tetris.
Beyond that, users will be able to purchase a slew of other games, but it remains to be seen if people will gravitate towards a phone with dedicated gaming controls (or if touch panels are good enough).
