Playstation 1 Games Now in Android Market, Restricted to Sony Ericsson Xperia Play; Emulator Removed From Market

Sony Ericsson is getting ready to unleash their Playstation-certified Android handset � the Xperia Play � and is getting the games catalog up and ready to go for when the device finally does launch. A number of PSX (Playstation 1) titles are now in the Android market but you won�t be able to do anything but look on in jealousy as most of the smartphone-toting world won�t be able to download and play them.

It shouldn�t be long before it�s launched in Europe, though, and we hear Verizon�s going to be releasing their version in the middle of April. Now excuse me while I go drool over the thought of playing Syphon Filter on my phone.[via Droid Gamers]

In directly related news, it appears Sony has gotten that PSX emulator removed from the Android market. It�s a predictable move but one I can�t really be mad at Sony for even if emulators themselves aren�t exactly illegal. The folks at PSXDroid have apparently found no ill will toward Sony because of the decision. [via Engadget]
