If you reside in the United Kingdom and have a hankering to do some gaming of the PlayStation phone you just might like to know that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play gaming smartphone is heading for the Three UK network.

According to an article over on Eurodroid, Three UK announced that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play handset would be playing nice on their network via their official Twitter account, saying…” We can confirm that we’ll be ranging the XPERIA play. Our video will be on the blog soon, in the meantime enjoy this -http://ow.ly/3Sl0u”

The link in that tweet is of course that rather disturbing and really weird promo video for the upcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, which we previously posted (here).

This means that as well as O2, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play will be stocked by 3 UK with a monthly contract.

And here’s what Sylvia of Three had to say… “At Three we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA play. We believe this handset celebrates a further step change in the way in which consumers use data, merging mobile communications and entertainment. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA play is perfect for gamers but above all, it’s a top-of-the-range smartphone which is why we are so excited to be ranging it on our award winning network”

No actual release dates or pricing for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play on Three UK are available yet, so anyone expecting to go with Three for this PlayStation gaming device?
