Some of you may have heard whispers of the the Xperia Play release in the UK being delayed. While it might have been assumed that this meant the initial release date of April 1st was invalid, Sony has said that’s not the case. The guys at Mobile Burn got official word from Sony Ericsson in regards to the issue, “We can confirm that the Xperia PLAY handsets are still planned to launch in the UK for April 1, as originally communicated. However, as of yesterday, we have experienced a freight issue that may impact the number of Xperia PLAYs arriving at some retail outlets. This said, consumers can purchase Xperia PLAY as of April 1 at a number of stores across the UK.”
Although it looks as if there may be limited stock, hopefully this statement quells any concern about the Play being available for its debut in the UK.
