Bristol, June 5th, 2006 – SN Systems, a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) is pleased to announce a price reduction of its development tools for PlayStation®2. Prices have been reduced by one-third and will be effective from June 5th 2006. The new prices will apply to the following products ordered through the UK based SN Systems office: ProDG for PlayStation 2, ProDG Plus for PlayStation 2, ProView for PlayStation 2 and ProView Plus for PlayStation 2. The price drop will also be reflected in the 6-month rental licenses of ProDG Plus for PlayStation 2 which have proven to be very popular with developers working on shorter-term projects.

Andy Beveridge, Director of SN Systems commented "ProDG for PlayStation 2 has been on sale since April 2000 and has continually evolved since that time. As a company, we feel one of our greatest strengths is our ability to listen to and deliver what developers are asking for. SN Systems' development tools for PlayStation 2 are a prime example of this; we've consistently implemented additional features and functions with each new release. ProDG for PlayStation 2 is a comprehensive and mature development tool that has been used throughout the industry."
