So has anyone heard how Sony plans to allow tablet users the ability to purchase playstation games? Or is theTablet S going to be like the PSPgo, as soon as it was released Sony pretty much abandoned it? I wish they would have just made a PSN app for us, that would have been cool.
A couple of posts on Sony's forums indicate that however it will be launched, it will be very soon:

Why are there no play station games to download?
Hi Padster
There will an update on this next week. Watch this space!

Yeah but keep in mind they are by no means official Sony posts, they're just some guy with broken English.
The Play Statio Store has been released on 10/19/2011. You should have got a notification for you to install it.

I joined in the Sony chat today on facebook and they said for current UK users a website will be going live tomorrow where you can get 5 free games, 7 free movies and 6 months music unlimited free ( or something along those lines just in case I got something the wrong way round )
The website in question is www.sony.co.uk/unlimited/tablet
And for new buyers of the tablet they will get a leaflet with it explaining this as well, so they will get it as well
Cheers
Sony
and no they didn't answer my question about root
Thanks. It's working today. got an email for 5 games and 180 days music unlimited and 4 weeks of video unlimited for 5 movies
Does this work for US folk?
it seems this is only for those who bought theirs after the 21st November and for £50 less which is nice. The games are free on the store and so is the music trial but the films you seem to need a voucher for and it wont let you register a date prior to the 21st.
In registration i see only: Spain, Italy, UK, Germany.. what a shame

Found at sony store site on the 16gb sony tablet s (which is the one i have)page.
From the US sony store site, so hopefully this will apply to us too
doesnt work for me
Gutted the way they said on facebook if anybody had bought it before the price cuts they would be eligible, but I guess not
Bought mine in October and tried to change the purchase date but keeps saying invalid serial number, hoping from tomorrow it is open for us early adapters as well and its not a case of ha we have your money, now go away
Just emailed customer support to see what they say as it was implied it would be open to all people who had previously bought the tablet, will update if & when I get a reply or fingers crossed it is open for all of us tomorrow
It looks like it already is on tablet without having to register as free games appear in the play station store, was able to download a 180 day trial app for music unlimted but the video app says update required but cant get it to update... yet and destruction derby wont download... yet
in US got 5 free games
I opened the PS store today, and there was the magic word free beside five of the games available, so far ive downloaded cool borders and destru tion derby with no problems, the others were jet moto 1, hot shots golf2, and medievil, although I thought they were going to do it differently, it looks like im going to be able to download all five aat once, I dont know if everyones came with it, but mine also came out of the box with crash bandicoot, and pinball heros(great game).
I havent tried any of the movies or music downloads yet, I will update with any problems.
I purchased my tablet around oct. 20,2011, & although I thought I had registered when I got it, I hadnt until this week. I also havent checked to see if I actually recieved an email from them either, but im sure I did.

Have a look at the Psxperia project on xperia play forum. The format is the same for both devices, an apk and a data folder, but the native emulator on tablet and on 2.3.4 xperia tablet is blocking the format which worked on it before 2.3.4 firmware. Hope it helps.

Anyone know how to get the voucher for $8 worth of movies?
I havent registered my tablet yet, my account is locked for some reason and I have to call them.
Is it just me or does it seem like half the fricking games in the market marked incompatible?!??!
Even stuff like bejwelled....
a lot of the time I can get the app via my phone, backup the apk and manually sideload it and it works fine. But this is not a permanent fix....
Is this sony being lazy, google being lazy, app devs being lazy, or something else?
Without root I'm guessing there's no fix?!??!
The worst bit is that this 'block' isn't consistent: an app may be blocked in the web market, and doesn't come up when searching from tablet, but say I hit an ad in the marketplace or tegrazone and BAM it lets me install. WHAT THE ?!?!?!?!
Sometimes I think that Sony has something to do with that.. but I hope thats only my conspiracy mind playing tricks on me..

I have a sneaking feeling its app devs who have to mark their apps as compatible or incompatible and since this tablet doesn't have a big presence, it falls through their cracks...
I've seen several games where say the Lite version is marked available but the full version IS NOT (i.e. Siegecraft THD). Of course the full version runs fine if you sideload it... ROFL
Yes it's definitely the app publishers who declare compatibility and I just don't think the tablet s has made a big enough splash. It sucks cause like you said you can sideload the apps. I'm sure once we get ICS things will change...
I gotta say i'm pretty steamed. I specifically got a tegra 2 device to maximize gaming compatibility, now the only "hardcore" games showing are shadowgun, GTA3 and Asphalt 6. No nova, mc2, mc3 etc etc. Not very happy at this point.
The weird part is, a simple realestate app won't show in the market on it :\.
I wish there was some way to just force the market to show all apps, like in cyanogen mod. Just without the need for root since we don't have that yet
It has a LOT to do with fragmentation in Android, with all the different versions on all the different devices, a developer has to test and be 100% sure before it marks its app as "compatible." Try contacting the developer if you want help, unfortunately it's nothing SONY has done.
You dont understand problem.
Some time ago we could buy apps:for example, Dead Space.
But suddenly Android Market said:you couldnt buy this app because it incompatible with your Sony Tablet S.
Can somebody tell me if bang bang racing shows up in the market?
Update, factory reserve fixed it, most apps are good to go. Dread , I would give that a shot.
Don't get mad at Sony for gameloft games being incompatible, that's game loft's fault

Hey wintermute000 can you check if bang bang racing shows up in the market? It there any way to pay for an app or game and then sideload it. The tablet is discounted at tiger direct. I love that game lol.

I do understand problem. What's happening is that Gameloft is updating their game and changing which versions/iterations of Android their game is compatible with, and with the thousand of different variations of Android coming out every day, they have either changed or our software version has changed and they're no longer compatible. As many have said, ICS will fix A LOT of that. You can try a master reset, but other than that just wait for ICS or sideload it from a dropped apk.
Thank you for answer)
I have one question:why EA games(Real Racing 2 and Dead Space) doesnt support sony tablet s?
It's not that they don't support the tablet s, it's just that they're not specifically listed as compatible with either the tablet s or the version of android we're running (maybe sony's update to 3.1.2 or whatever it was) isn't listed under their market description so it won't allow you to install it from the market. There are ways around that but you won't be able to get updates or support through the market. I'm waiting for ICS (hopefully Feb) and most, if not all, of these problems should be resolved!
According to the reviews this game hasnt been updated for a long time unlike its ios version (with 2 new char) and some sources say that the dev of this game abandoned android therefor theres a posibility for no updates to come. Question is, is this game still worth buying even without the update?
Havent played this game before and it looks good with great reviews so cant really decide.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Broken on ICS, apparently.
It's a really fun game, though.
oh... So when the ics update comes i might not be able to play with it until the dev update it...
Hello guys. This is a question that has been bugging me for a while, regarding my Sony S tablet (non Xperia).
When I first bought it I recall it said something in the box about playing Playstation games... and the tablet even has the Playstation logo on the back. It came with a pinball game and Crash bandicoot, which I assume are ran in an emulated PLaystation of sorts that came with the device.
My question, just out of curiousity. How do I get more PS games on the tablet? To run the same way Crash Bandicoot and the pinball game does?
I tried searching for this... assuming there would be some sort of dedicated app store with PS games for the tablet, but I was redirected to an app in the Google Play store that isn't even available in my country (Portugal).
Is it possible that Sony sold their tablets and didn't even care to offer their services properly in some countries... like mine?
PS: I know I can just install a Playstation emulator (like fpse) and download the roms from another website. But I'm curious about the "original" way to do this.
This is just my opinion, but the ps games that were or are available are not all that great. GTA was the best one. I actually just went straight to the nvidia tegra games from the get go. Try tegrazone.com, if you not already have. Just my two cents.
Hi guys
I have a simple question which phones have the feature of remote play with ps3? does xperia z ultra have? z1 and z2?

65 viwes no replys... i just like a yes or no or there is only one cellphone Called Aino that has that feature?
None of those phones has Remote Play with the PS3/4, and, as far as I know, no phone since Sony's Aino and Satio has it. Maybe it'll be added in the future, unless Sony is afraid it'll hurt Vita sales.

In order to do remote play for ps4 download PlayStation app

Upcoming Xperia Z3 line has PS4 remote play feature. Maybe a waiting game till it gets ported to older Xperias though.
Before the wait is over, don't you think that the whole playstation will be miniaturized onto a xperia handset before the remote play is developed? Which approach makes more sense? My xperia z ultra has quad CPUs, each clocked at well over 2Ghz . Why buy a PlayStation when you can install games onto Xperia. PlayStation is so 20th century, like a DVD player. Why own a DVD player and go to blockbuster to rent DVD when you can play any movie online from amazon? Why bother a PlayStation when you can play the same games on android? Stay on top of technology. Save the money and time to get a life. Go to gym to train and build muscle.
Better yet, why buy a 11 inch screen laptop or PC when the PC can run inside the near-7-inch screen xperia z ultra? Better yet, get rid of cable modem and home wifi using only tmobiles unlimited 4g data. Save the time and go out. I have the instruction in my blog http://nocomputerbutphone.blogspot.com/
.
We android hackers should help one another. Don't fall in the Sony corporate capitalism dead end game. Xperia z ultra has the same 4 CPU arm. Xperia z ultra clocked faster than PS vita. If Sony had released the PlayStation high end games instead of stuffing the 5 dollar pointless games in their download site for xperia, I would have spent my money on that site. Now I spend no money on that PlayStation site for xperia. They lose. No one wins. Don't wait for that playstation remote , my friend. It is backward engineering, anti evolution. Let it die.
Sony has officially made remote play available for any device that runs 5.0 or up.
Can anyone just let me know if there getting the same issue.
I noticed that the z ultra gets the 88001003 Error code. Every other phone it works with no problem. There 0n 5.1 and there older than the ultra.
