Rogers throws open the doors for pre-orders of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc & PLAY

Consumers in select Asian and European markets are getting the fine opportunity of snagging the gaming centric Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY starting today, but for the people of North America, they can only watch on the sidelines for now as the handset envelops these newly minted owners.

Well, if you happen to be a Rogers customer, you might be slightly ahead of the game in North America seeing that the carrier has opened up pre-orders for not just one Xperia handset, but two! Right now, you can fetch yourself a pre-order of the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY and Arc – which are two solid Android devices thus far. As it stands right now, Rogers is only providing the 3-year on-contract price of $99.99 for both handsets.

Although you can guarantee yourself a handset come launch day with a pre-order, the devices are still positioned to launch some time in the late April time frame.
