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.
