Competition hints at $400 price tag for Sony Ericsson Xperia Play gaming phone
|

Since Sony Ericsson unleashed the Xperia Play gaming phone upon an unsurprised audience at MWC the company has remained tight-lipped about the price. However, a competition being held in many European countries and the US by the mobile manufacturer may have spilled the beans.

The competition is offering ten Xperia Play phones as prizes for submitting and the rules state that the approximate retail value of the device is €499 in Europe (Italy, to be precise, excluding VAT) and $400 in the US.

This is of course the estimated cost of an unlocked Xperia Play and doesn’t take into account the reduced price of a handset should you take out a contract.

We should get an idea of the sterling price when the competition opens in the UK. NeoGaf
