Hey guys please can you tell me if there is any way to get the play station store and being able to download their games on the Xperia S? I live in the middle east and according to SONY its only available in certain countries.
I would love to play old PS games
It is not only Middle East my friend, its Greece as well (and I bet many more countries) that do not have PS store.
The answer is easy though!
Buy FPse from Google Play, load any PSOne rom you wish on your internal memory, and enjoy! That way you get even more titles as well!
Thanks man everything seems to work fine so far
But it keeps tell me "License check failed" in the middle of the game :/

Hey has anyone tried the Playstation games yet. The look pretty simple yet but there seems to be hope for the tab gaming future.
I might give it a go when I get home

I'll download syphon filter tonight and try playing it with my logitech remote. Should be pretty revolutionary for the tablet s!
I was a bit disappointed with the PlayStation store. It’s not a bad line up for the first day release, and I will say I am glad Sony is making sure the games are optimized to run on the tablet but I was hoping for the selection I have on my PS3 and even more so to have access to the games I had already bought (like FF7, FF8, Chrono Trigger). I really don't want to mess around with a PSX emulator on my tablet so I am hoping Sony steps up and does some large major releases in the future.
I did find it interesting all the games were branded as Sony Entertainment America Games and I have seen reports Sony is working with the developers to get the rights for other games, But my fingers are crossed for legend of Dragoon.
I cannot use it. When I open pstore it tells me I need to updsate account manager....but when I try to update account manager it says"Purchase cancelled. The item you are trying to purchase cannot be found"

I have the same problem with the account manager. Could it be a location issue
It might be. I'm in ireland

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!
i am new to xda developers eventhough i know it for a long time.i just bought my brand new phone on saturday.xperia sola.so here is the problem guys.for the first two days i just installed less demanding games like temple run 2,ski safari,riptide etc and played smoothly on my gingerbrad 2.3.7.then on monday i just updated it to ics 4.0.4.then the problem starts.in the play store i saw heavy games like the dark night rises,gta 3,shadowgun etc compatible for my devices so i installed this from apkmania and copied the sd files properly(checked the versions clearly on the play store before installing apk).ALL THE GAMES JUST OPENED SHOWED A BLACK SCREEN AND SAID"UNFORTUNATELY GTA3 HAS STOPPED WORKING OR TDKR HAS STOPPED WORKING ETC.EVEN FOR SHADOW GUN IT LOADED THE MENU AND WHEN CLICKED PLAY IT CAME TO HOME SCREEN AND EVEN MY LIVE WALLPAPER DISAPPEARED".i dont know what to do friends.i checked the ram and it says some 140 mb free only so i think ics hogs a lot of ram.i dont know whether my ics update was really necessary.
please help me guys i am new to android.if it is really the ics problem please help me to revert back to gingerbread .i asked the shop from where i bought and he said u could flash ur phone without root,but i dont know the procedure guys.
PLEASE HELP.THANKS IN ADVANCE

Because of todays scattered phone specs, it is not adviceable to buy a game before trying it out. It's true that you can get your money back for some minutes after a purchase, but hey, no one can try out a compex game in this time (you need to download gigs of data after purchase), and because of this you MAY just throw your money out of the window. I'm not advertising warez, but to be honest it has got a bright side too. I've always tried out every game before purchase, and never disappointed or lost even a penny
BTW the games the OP mentioned are working good qith xperia U, so they SHOULD run on sola too!

Thanks for the replies friend.
after 2 days of searching on the net i found a temporary solution.
I UNINSTALLED ASTRO FILE MANAGER AND SHADOWGUN WORKED! IT WAS A BIT SLOW.
THEN INSTALLED MOST WANTED AND COPIED ALL THE DATA.THE HD GAME JUST WORKS FINE FRIENDS.Now i am happy to atleast play these games.
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.
