AT&T is set to finally offer the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play later this month, putting the phone on sale at $49.99 with two-year service agreements.  Tapping their iteration with a subtle name change, Ma Bell has decided that XPERIA Play 4G is a more moniker.  Like its Verizon counterpart the phone runs Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and features a 4-inch display, 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera, and VGA forward-facing camera.  About that 4G suffix, it’s only AT&T’s HSPA+ network and not the 4G LTE stuff we’d rather see.  Nonetheless, the $50 price point should help move a few of these stealth blue “PlayStation Phones”.

The Xperia PLAY 4G has access to more than 150 games optimized for the special hardware and comes with a number of pre-loaded titles (Dungeon Defenders, Asphalt 6 Adrenaline, Star Battalion, Madden NFL 11, The Sims 3, Tower Bloxx: My City, and Crash Bandicoot).
