PlayStation Suite SDKは11月に登場予定

 今年の1月以降のPlayStation Suiteに関する発表から、ソニーは徐々にクロスプラットフォームの情報を出していました。しかし東京ゲームショウ2011において正式に発表をしまして、 Suite's software development kitは11月に登場するとのことです。

デモ画面のスライドではPS VitaとXperia Playの両方でプライされるZero Gravityの様子が写されました。 ただしSDKの値段や正式な日程は発表されましせんでした。

Ever since introducing the PlayStation Suite back in January, Sony has been slowly meting out information on the cross-platform service. But Sony blew out the service this morning during the company's TGS 2011 keynote, revealing that the Suite's software development kit will become available for devs this coming November.

A brief demo of a basic sidescrolling shooter, named "Zero Gravity," was also shown, demonstrating the cross play between PlayStation Vita and the Xperia Play. Unfortunately, no price or exact date was given for access to the SDK, but Sony reps did demonstrate the ease of using the SDK for cross-platform development.

A simple animation was created using a Sony tablet, which was then pushed across a variety of Sony and Android platforms -- "No play, no life," it read. We tend to be more of the "no food/air, no life" crowd, but we'll accept Sony's statement for the sake of demonstration.

AT&T版Sony Experia Playは9月18日に登場

ソニーのXperia PlayのAT&T版は9月18日に登場します。Veriazon版はすでに5月26日に販売されており、AT&T版ではさらなるバージョンアップがされているとのことです。

また最初からインストールされているゲームも下記の通り異なっているとのことです。

• Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave
• Asphalt 6 Adrenaline
• Star Battalion
• Madden NFL 11
• The Sims 3
• Tower Bloxx: My City
• Crash Bandicoot

Xperia Playは二年縛りの契約で$49.99となっており、Verizon版で入っているテトリスは入っていないですが、Verizon版での$199.99と比べてかなり安くなっています。


 Sony's Xperia Play smartphone will be available through AT&T on September 18, complete with PlayStation gamepad and running on Android's Gingerbread (2.3.3) platform. The Xperia Play has been available through Verizon since May 26, and AT&T is offering some exclusive content for its customers' patience, including 4G capability, a "stealth blue" paint job, and the Sony Ericsson Multimedia Dock DK300 and music cable.

AT&T's Xperia Play will come with seven pre-loaded games, in a slightly different lineup than we saw with Verizon's release:

• Dungeon Defenders: Second Wave
• Asphalt 6 Adrenaline
• Star Battalion
• Madden NFL 11
• The Sims 3
• Tower Bloxx: My City
• Crash Bandicoot

The Xperia Play will cost $49.99 with a new two-year agreement through AT&T, which is drastically less than Verizon's initial offer of $199.99 with the same agreement. However, AT&T's Xperia Play doesn't come pre-loaded with Tetris, which is totally worth the extra $150, in our opinion.
