Limited edition Minecraft Xperia Play up for auction

If you’re one of the many Minecraft players around the world, we’ve got some pretty good news for you – provided you’re looking for a new Android smartphone. Mojang, the company developing Minecraft is offering a special, limited edition, Minecraft-themed Sony Ericsson Xperia Play up for auction on eBay.

The phone is currently one of a kind, though it will be a winnable prize at GamesCon later this year (no mention of how many up for grabs). It is essentially the same as the regular Xperia Play when it comes to the hardware, but it will be loaded with a Minecraft theme that matches the graphics and logo that adorn the phone’s plain outer-shell. Even if you’re not a fan of Minecraft, it looks pretty awesome.

So if you’d like to own a piece of Minecraft history, just head on over to eBay now and start bidding. At this time of writing, the phone is priced at $1,325.00, and there’s 6 days left to go – so you can expect it to be even higher by this time next week. Any Minecraft fans in the house?
