Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play, also known as one of the worst-kept secrets in the whole world, was officially announced by the company all the way back in February. Since then, it was delayed several times - eventually making its way to European markets on April 1 and Canada on April 28.

For the US, it was delayed yet again, finally making its launch on Verizon’s network on May 26.

I’ve had the device for a little over a month now. Here’s what I think about this interesting gaming phone.
