Stuffing an electronic device in your pocket simply isn't worth enduring the oddly shaped bulge if it can't play some decent games, right? Sony Ericsson seemingly agrees in an interview with Pocket Gamer, with the phone company's Peter Ahnegard (touché!) discussing the possibility of releasing a PlayStation-branded phone. Ahnegard explains that sticking the PlayStation name on a phone is easier said than done, as consumers have certain expectations from such a prominent label.

"We're not launching a brand of handset simply because we can, but because we can lead up to the expectations of the consumer," he said. "Up until today we haven't felt we could launch a PlayStation phone because it wouldn't be recognised as a true continuation of that brand of products." When further prodded, Ahnegard admits that a PlayStation phone is "obviously something that we're looking at" and expects it to materialize in some form before Christmas... "but exactly which Christmas I can't confirm!" Well, that narrows it down.

Heres a pic of the new concept:

The idea is good, but really "playstation" is video games not phones.

I just hope that if they did make one it would be good. I dunno if i would buy 1, but that pic nyght posted looks cool.

Sounds like a nice idea, i am not sure if i would buy something like that. I will stick to my Motorola V3 and Q till things shape up a bit more But with the Apple IPhone out the Sony phone will have to jump through hoops to beat that

deffinatlly sounds cool

yuck ....playstation into a handphone? not interested...for me it is...i think that sony should stick their hand into gaming...not into cellphones area...

that looks sick, i'd buy one.

its nice but i would like to see it in a physical form
