Separately, Sony Ericsson said it will ship early in Q4 the Aino mobile phone that PS3 owners can use for access to media content by means of the console’s Remote Play feature. Consumers in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the U.K. will also be able to access PS3’s PlayTV service using the Aino. The feature will allow those consumers to watch, pause and record live TV, Sony Ericsson said. Another new Sony Ericsson mobile phone, the Yari, will ship at the same time, featuring “gesture gaming technology” that allows users to control games by hand and body movement rather than pressing buttons, it said. Yari will be “the industry’s first mobile phone with gesture gaming outside of the Japanese market,” said Catherine Cherry, market business manager at Sony Ericsson. The phone will ship with motion and standard games on it, the company said. Yari also introduced a “games carousel” that it said will allow users to access all games from the device’s desktop and browse downloadable content on the PlayNow arena, it said. In other PS3 news, SCEA said it added six best-selling titles to the Greatest Hits library for the console. Starting June 16, the prices of the six games will be cut to $29.99 as they are re-released with new Greatest Hits packaging: Army of Two and Battlefield: Bad Company from Electronic Arts, Capcom’s Devil May Cry 4, Sony’s Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It’s the second set of PS3 games to reach “Greatest Hits” status.
