Last week Mojang placed a special Minecraft-skinned Xperia Play on eBay, with the proceeds going to a charity of the developer's choice. It eventually sold for a whopping £1,525.

But if you missed the chance to bid or just didn’t want to match such a ludicrously high offer, don’t worry – it looks like Sony Ericsson is giving you a second chance, and this time it won’t cost you very much at all. The XperiaGames Twitter account reveals that Sony Ericsson has one of the limited edition Plays to give away. Simply follow the account and retweet to enter the competition.

The special handset has been created to coincide with the launch of Minecraft - Pocket Edition last week, which offers players the Creative Mode of Minecraft in a limited randomly generated world. It currently costs around £5 on the Android Market. The competition closes on August 29th and is restricted to one entry per person.
