Sony Computer Entertainment subsidiary SN Systems has cut the price of all PSP development tools by half.
Starting February 4, 2008, the price cut applies to all SN Systems PSP development tools including full and rental ProDG for PSP, Tuner, Build Tools and ProView licenses ordered through the UK-based SN Systems office.
Support fees will also be cut by 50%. The reduction in support fees will also apply to developers seeking to renew their annual support on existing PSP products.
"SN Systems development tools for PSP are well-established and mature, having been on sale since the end of 2004. Since then, the tools have grown extensively as a result of direct feedback from PSP game title developers,” said Andy Beveridge, director of SN Systems.
“Significantly reducing the cost of the tools will help to ensure that PSP game title developers have everything they need to continue creating great titles. This price reduction, coupled with the recent addition of Tuner (performance optimizer) to ProDG for PSP, makes the core development tool a very attractive package."
In November 2007 Sony cut the cost of its PS3 development kit in half for a try at getting more studios to adopt the technology and to try to boost the PS3's game selection.
