The Mobile World Conference is underway this week and has been host to a few interesting mobile announcements from big game companies. Yesterday Microsoft announced new Windows Mobile devices that include Live Anywhere, which supports gamer profiles, avatars, achievements and even Xbox Live titles right on your phone.

Sony has followed up with an announcement that they're bringing PlayStation Network to their line of Ericsson phones and other Sony devices.

"Leveraging PSN we are building a new network service that will connect many more network enabled products including Sony Bravias, Vaios and Blu-ray players," said Sony CEO Howard Stringer. "To satisfy the demand for more open systems and to broaden the array of network-enabled devices connected to our network services we are committed to extending that service to Sony Ericsson mobile phones. And as part of these initiatives we are also exploring consistent user interfaces across Sony and Sony Ericsson products to ensure a seamless and integrated experience for the consumer."

No other details have been divulged on the PlayStation Network mobile service. What are your thoughts on managing Xbox Live and PSN on your mobile phones? Useful or useless?
