Sony Ericsson has celebrated the end of its exclusive time with Minecraft - Pocket Edition by building a giant replica of an Xperia Play in the game.

The photograph released on the company’s Twitter account shows the replica along with the scaffolding used to build it. While it’s not quite to scale, you can still make out the buttons on the phone’s gamepad and the Sony Ericsson logo.

The phone company will lose exclusivity of the game this week as it's made available for other Android handsets with touchscreen controls. Meanwhile an iOS version is planned before the end of the year.

Mojang revealed earlier that getting Minecraft - Pocket Edition onto other phones was its priority. Once that was finished it would begin work on updating the game, which means Survival mode is now that little bit closer.
