FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bristol, March, 2006 - SN Systems, a subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) specializing in software development tools, is delighted to announce the launch and availability of Tuner for PLAYSTATION3 to all registered game title developers.

Available for free evaluation and trial, Tuner for PLAYSTATION3 is a profiling tool that enables developers to quickly highlight bottlenecks and conflicts in source code, helping them to improve code performance.

Andy Beveridge, co-founder and Director of SN Systems commented, "Tuner has already been a major product, both on the PlayStation2 and PSPTM (PlayStationPortable), so it was a natural progression to develop it for PLAYSTATION3. This latest version has been tailored to the PLAYSTATION3's threaded architecture which will really help developers take advantage of the new hardware. It's another key tool in SN Systems' range of products that developers can depend on as they gear up for the release of their game titles."
