What, the Xperia Play didn't do so already? Nope, Sony Ericsson neglected (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/28/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-review/) to add that functionality to the phone's five megapixel shooter from the start. Fortunately, the new software update rectifies this, so when you're not blasting those PlayStation hits of yesteryear (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/09/xperia-play-spins-original-playstation-one-isos-via-emulator-hac/), you'll be able to chronicle your pet's adventures in crystal clear 720p. Courtesy of XDA Developers, see proof of the Play's new HD recording abilities after the break.
