UK mobile firm operator O2 has revealed that it has obtained the exclusive rights to sell the white version of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play – the first ever PlayStation Certified mobile device.

The confirmation came via O2’s Twitter feed. Until now the existence of a white SKU was unknown to many.

There has not yet been any announcements of similar offers from other carriers in foreign territories.

The Xperia Play will launch in the US in March with other territories to follow shortly after.

Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone have also confirmed that they will also be stocking the device and hinted at an April launch in the UK.
