On the Play ‘deal of the day’ promotion, the Sony Ericsson Liveview accessory is reduced down to an even cheaper £12.99 with free delivery! At £15 the deal was cheap as chips but, at £12.99 it seems irresistible to anyone who has ever considered buying Liveview as an add-on for their phone.

This deal is available today – 14th of March 2012 and can be found at the following link: Play Sony Ericsson Liveview @£12.99

We’ve heard reports that Sony Ericsson were going to release a Windows Phone 7 Xperia handset but, not much came of the rumors. It seems however, such a phone did exist with the codename Jolie.

A prototype of the handset has been spotted on eBay and is currently at $405 with two days left. (...)

We’ve seen the price of the Liveview drop to £18 before through Play.com but, it only stayed at the low price for a couple of days before returning to £30, while other retailers still had the Sony Ericsson Liveview priced at £40-£45. The £15 deal for the Liveview is again available through Play and like last time, it may not last very long so you’ll need to be quick to nab one at this price.

Finding your way around the website is practically identical to the SonyEricsson website but, we now have the Sony colors, namely blacks and greys, along with the Sony make.believe logo.

Support and downloads are still accessible at SonyMobile.com, such as PC Companion which, for the mean time is still branded as Sony Ericsson but, we’re sure it won’t be long until that gets an overhaul.

While this initially sounds like great news, there are unfortunately two failings to this promotion. Firstly, my partner received an email offering 10% off the purchase price of an Xperia Arc S, or a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray but, I then received an email offering me only 5% off with a different promotional code. A bit later on, another email that I’ve used with Sony Ericsson also received the email, this time with a 15% discount.

Sounds pretty tempting but, many high street retailers are offering the handsets for considerably less. Before the New Year, we saw the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S at Phones4U for only £199.99 as an upgrade, or £239.99 for a pay as you go handset, including a £10 top up. In comparison, the Sony Ericsson website is selling the Xperia Arc S for £369 and to compete would need to offer a minimum of 40% off the current selling price.

For anyone who hasn’t picked up either of these handsets, it’s worth shopping around for the best mobile phone deal as on occasions like this, even with a promotional code, it can be cheaper to shop elsewhere.

Let us know in the comments if you too received this email from Sony Ericsson and what percentage discount they offered you. Any one get above 15% off?

The press event is due to start at 5pm GMT and you can watch the press event live from Sony’s website here. We’re expecting to see “something big” which is likely to come in the form on an Xperia Arc successor. Other Xperia models that are expected to be unveiled include an Xperia Neo successor as well as an Xperia Mini successor.

We’ve seen many, many price drops for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, while the Xperia Arc and Arc S remained at a relatively high price. Until now that it. Carphone Warehouse have the Xperia Arc S available for £269.99 sim free, which is a good price but, another UK retailer is offering the handset for as low as £199.99.

With Phones4U you can do a pay as you go upgrade, which means providing them with a pay as you go number which hasn’t been used for an upgrade in the last 6 months (terms vary by network) and get the phone for just £199.99 and Phones4U handsets are unlocked. Pay as you go upgrades can only be done in store. Alternatively, if you haven’t got a pay as you go number you can use, they are doing the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S for £229.99 with a £10 top up.

To make this deal even sweeter, if you buy the Xperia Arc S before December 31st, Sony Ericsson are offering you £25 cash back. All you need to do to get your £25 cash back from Sony Ericsson, is fill in this form and and send it to them before January 31st 2012. Sony Ericsson are also offering cash back on the Xperia Ray and the original Xperia Arc.

Despite their recent ‘boo-boo’ when they mistakenly posted news of their offering of 50GB of cloud storage space free for Xperia owners, Sony Ericsson have moved to confirm that the offer should go live soon, just not as soon as they announced it would on their official blog.

Xperia handset owners should, at some point in the near future, be entitled to a whopping 50GB of storage, via an app on Xperia handsets (which will be downloaded from the Android Market) through cloud storage provider Box in a deal struck between themselves and Sony Ericsson.

“On Monday afternoon, we mistakenly posted a promo offering Xperia owners 50 GB of free storage via the Box for Android mobile app. While we’re really excited about working with Box down the road, this offer is not active today. We are in the midst of finalising the details of this promotion and are working to provide this offer very soon to all Xperia customers so stay tuned” -Sony Ericsson.

EA and Sony Ericsson are offering Xperia Play customers an all new exclusive title in the form of the hugely popular football game Fifa 12. To top off the excitement, the game is also free to download and will be exclusive to the Xperia Play until February 21st next year.

“With FIFA 12, fans of football can expect improved gameplay depth, authentic commentaries, updated teams from the world’s top leagues, and all new replay systems and stadium designs to enhance the FIFA experience” – Sony Ericsson

As expected, the game includes the same style of gameplay that was found in Fifa 10 and Fifa 11 on the Xperia Play as it is optimized fully for use on the handset, using it’s unique control system and game pad. Fifa 12 can be downloaded now (from the game launcher on the Xperia Play) and it’s a big download, over 1.5GB, so  a Wi-Fi connection will probably be required.

The offical trailer video can be seen below:

Sony Ericsson have declared themselves as the first mobile phone manufacturer to include support for WebGL technology on their handsets. WebGL is a technology that allows 3D graphic rendering to be viewed on browsers without the need for additional plugins and although the technology has been around for a little while now, Sony Ericsson have jumped in with open arms to integrate WebGL support into it’s range of 2011 Xperia handsets.

WebGL support was added to the newer Xperia range via the recent Android 2.3.4 update, although when the update was released Sony Ericsson kept this new feature quiet, choosing to release the information in a press release seperately. The WebGL technology does need the higher specifications found in the latest, more powerful Xperia handsets, to run as from Sony Ericsson explains:

Devices such as Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ neo and Xperia™ pro are equipped with a 1 GHz Snapdragon™ processor and an Adreno™ 205 graphics processor, so even if the processing power is not in parity with desktop computers, there are enough processing capabilities to create astonishing 3D web applications.

A demo video of WebGL in action on an Xperia Arc S can be viewed below:
