The Xperia Play is basically Sony’s Playstation phone. The Phone is decent and has a nice quality feel. Overall it is a decent android phone with some extended capabilities. Check out the video for all the details and be sure to let us know what you think of the phone.
Thanks for Watching!
iCarbons was nice enough to send along their skin for the Xbox 360. The skins looks very nice and does a decent job of transforming the XBox into something unique compared to every one else. Check out the video for the review and let us know what you think of the skin.

We take a look at the Sony Xperia Play for Verizon. This is a pretty interesting device that combines a phone with a Playstation Portable and runs Google Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread. Check out the video for all the details.
After a rediculous issue with the Playstation network caused many to be unable to use their “fat” PS3′s, Sony has given the go ahead to power it back on.
According to Joystiq it is safe to resume gaming. Here is a quick faq from joystiq to help you all relax from your MW2 withdrawl.
Q. Is it safe to turn on my PS3 now?
A. Right now, it appears the answer is “yes.” The PlayStation Network is online and fully functional for owners of the PS3 Phat system, and games appear to be running problem-free. Sony has yet to issue an official “you can use your PS3″ statement, however.
Q. Do I have to download a firmware update?
A. Nope. The problem should just fix itself automatically, whether you’re online or not.
Q. My Trophy data for [insert game here] is gone! (I know, I know — that’s not a question, but still!)
A. If you lost any Trophy data over the past 24 hours, there may be a way to salvage it. Launch the game for which you’re trying to restore Trophies and it should automatically recreate a Trophy data set on your PS3′s memory, which you can then sync with the PSN server (just by opening up your Trophy list in the XMB). Our Heavy Rain Trophies had vanished, but this trick brought them back from the ether.
Q. The time and date on my PS3 are wrong. How do I fix this?
A. Under Settings in the XMB, then under the Time/Date settings, you should be able to set your console to automatically sync the time and date via the internet.
I know it was a rough day or so, but don’t run out and sell your PS3 unless you were already planning to do so. Hopefully Sony learns from its mistake and slew of angry customers and this incident or any other like it never happens again.
For those of you not up to speed on the situation…Last night the Playstation network took a nosedive and caused quite a few PS3′s to not work as planned. As of now if you own the original or “fat” model of the PS3, Sony is saying do not turn it on until the bug causing the issue is fixed or it could result in data loss. If you have a PS3 Slim it looks like this is a non-issue for you and you can continue enjoying your gaming or video experience. For us that own the older model we will have to wait an estimated 24 hours until the bug is fixed and it will be safe to turn on our consoles.
Apparently the bug is due to a clock-related leap year issue that was forgotten by the programmers. As long as we don’t have a bricked PS3 I think we can deal without MW2 for a day or so, or maybe not…
