Sony Xperia Play 4G hitting AT&T for only $50

sony ericsson xperia play
Sony’s Xperia Play will be moving on over to AT&T after its initial launch on Verizon Wireless.  The AT&T version will be equipped with 4G HSPA+ and ships with Android 2.3.3, a 1GHz processor and a 40inch display.  Other than the slight 4G antena difference between Verizon and AT&T, the phones are pretty much identical.  The AT&T version will sell similarly to Verizon’s price: a low-sounding $50.  Most of that mony, however, rebounds itself in purchasing games for the PlayStation phone.  Good news is that the phone will come with some pre-loaded games, meaning that if you’re feeling a bit cheap, you’ll still have some games to play around with.  Check out more details in a press release after the break.
