Sony and Box extend BFF status, offer 50GB free storage to Xperia owners through 2013

When [Sony and Box came together](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/30/box-net-befriends-android-will-offer-sony-ericsson-xperia-phone/) last year to offer Xperia owners a tantalizing deal of 50GB of free storage for life, the promotion was only set to run for a year. Now that shopping season is upon us once more, however, the holiday spirit must've moved them to extend the partnership for yet another year -- that, or [Sony needs any edge it can](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/14/sony-ericsson-posts-lower-profits-in-q3-earnings-report-will-sh/) to move those [Xperia](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/24/sony-xperia-ion-review/) devices to consumer hands. Just as with the prior promo, Xperia and Sony tablet users can snag 50 gigs of cloud storage completely _gratis_ just by signing up or tapping into existing Box accounts on their devices before December 31st 2013. However, do note that the offer doesn't extend to the [Xperia X10 mini](http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-mini-mini-pro-review/), the [X10 mini pro](http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/08/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-mini-mini-pro-review/) and anything that has firmware older than Android 2.1. Now that Sony has this going for two years straight, maybe they should extend this to a _lifetime_ scenario, or as long as Box sticks around to offer up that sweet storage in the sky.
