I went along to the Xperia PLAY rooms this morning to have a look around and have another go on the Xperia PLAY smartphone that is being released tomorrow.
Essentially there is one main room containing all sorts of stuff like a crashed helicopter and car, Dodge Charger car, action men climbing a tree, noodle bar (serving free drinks) and a rocket launcher. There’s also quite a bit of seating available with sofas and chairs dotted all over the place. Handy when you want to spend some time with the smartphone.
The room also resembled a scene from Blade Runner every so often when the many smoke machines kicked into action bathing the blinky neon signs with a smokey fog. It looked really cool.
Here are some pictures I took of the room:
And this is what it looked like in the evening at the VIP party:
The Xperia PLAY smartphone is available from the 1st April 2011.










Its interesting to see how the day started out, compared to how the day finished when all the London media fiends piled in. The pictures don’t quite show the true event event highlight of it being more ‘rammed’ :)
If I had a £1 for every time someone asked me who Tinchy Stryder was though, i’d be a happy man that evening.
Yeah, everyone certainly piled for the VIP party :-) Added a few pictures to show that.
