Ahead of the release of Sony Ericsson’s highly anticipated Xperia PLAY smartphone, Sony PlayStation games have begun appearing in Google’s Android Market. Five title’s became available in the Market on Thursday, including Syphon Filter, MediEvil and Cool Boarders 2. Currently available titles are listed for $6.38 each, and more are expected in the coming days and weeks. Sony Ericsson’s Xperia PLAY will be the first PlayStation Certified Android smartphone when it launches soon, and it will be capable of playing original PlayStation games downloaded through the Android Market. The Xperia PLAY will launch on Verizon Wireless’ network in the U.S. some time this spring.

Thanks, Andrew

      From Sony’s initial conference discussing its move into Android, they stated the requirements were Android 2.3.

      So, I think anything with Android 2.3 will be able to use what will become known as Playstation Suite for Android.

      Wii’s VC ranges in prices from $4 to $10 for older games, 360 and PS3 do the same. Its about right and I know have over 20 old school games on my Wii and PS3 right now. A lot of fun as well as my children get to enjoy what I played at their age.

    Why can’t I buy Syphon Filter on my Nexus One running Android 2.3.3?
    I don’t care how bad it may work on non-certified phones…
