Cost for PSP development tools cut in half

by Nick Doerr { Feb 4th 2008 at 12:30PM }

A press release shot out of Sony Computer Entertainment today, and being the daredevils we are, caught that bullet with our teeth so we could relay the message to you. SN Systems, a subsidiary of SCE, announced a 50% price reduction in all of its development tools for the PSP. This reduction is effective today and includes these bits of dev tool goodness: "ProDG for PSP, Tuner, Build Tools and ProView licenses." This announcement should definitely pique the interest of developers curious to take advantage of the PSP but haven't been able to justify the plunge. Also, it'll help existing companies churn out more quality titles for half the cost, assuming they use SN Systems' tools.

to be honest, i dont really know what this means, but by the looks of it, it's a positive. new games is good news

see, what it means is that the tools to make games for the PSP (lisences, dev tools, and such) have all been lowered in price, meaning that now it is cheaper to make games for the PSP.

and that means that now, devs that weren't sure about making games for the PSP, now have another push towards actually getting a hands-on on the tools.

all in all, what this means is that we'll be seeing more games, and probably cheaper ones, for the PSP
