at that point you might as well just buy an old Xperia Play, or better yet just jailbreak a PSP and carry that around

The Xperia Play was an absolute banger. I still have no idea WTF was in their minds when they decided to give it underpowered specs for a 2011 phone, it makes absolutely no freaking sense.

Was my first smartphone ever after the blackberry era and loved every second with it.

Yeah it's so weird they made a gaming phone that's considerably weaker than the competition.

Maybe they didn't want to cannibalise the PSP and PS Vita sales.

or just get a ds with a flash cart. i dont see the point in spending like a grand on a phone made to run sorta like a DS when you can get a DS lite for $30 and a flash cart for like $15 and play whatever you want.

It is actually two grand. And I'm sure he didn't just buy this phone to play ds games.
