In what is rapidly becoming Sonys season of rumour quashing, the second most talked about handset in the companys recent history runner-up only to the NGP - will finally get an official announcement on February 13.
Anybody paying close attention to the ad breaks during last nights Super Bowl will have spotted Sony Ericssons debut commercial for its upcoming Android gaming phone the Xperia Play.
Face-to-face with Xperia Play
And now, the Japanese-Swedish cell phone manufacturer has eradicated the final traces of speculation by revealing on its Facebook page the date of the exponentially hyped, 4-inch blowers unveiling.
Described by Sony Ericsson on the social networking site as the next gamechanger, The Handset Formerly Known as PlayStation Phone will be unleashed next Sunday at 6pm, with the joint venture presumably looking to steal a publicity march on its rivals at the ensuing Mobile World Congress.
Play Suite music
Thanks to the NGP event 12 days ago, we already know Xperia Play owners will be able to enjoy downloadable PlayStation content via the PS Suite, stocked initially with classic PlayStation One titles.
Speculation over the Xperia Plays hardware details, meanwhile, intensified in January, with evidence from Engadget pointing to a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm processor, a 5-megapixel camera, and an 854 x 480 LCD display.
Only six days to go...
