Sony Ericsson’s confirmed that punters won’t be able to play content they’ve already purchased via the PS Store on the forthcoming Xperia Play.
Instead, the firm’s UK managing director, Nathan Vautier, revealed that you’ll have to re-buy old content – including PSone Classics – from the dedicated Xperia Play store, which launches later this year.
"[Xperia Play owners] will have to re-purchase the games, so it’s not totally integrated," he commented. "I think the exciting thing is that there are games which people are very, very aware of."
Xperia Play – aka the PlayStation Phone – got its formal reveal at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this past weekend. See our earlier news story here for the full skinny on Sony’s latest piece of kit.
