George Bain: "Developing Games for PlayStation®Network"

"The presentation will cover PSP™ and PLAYSTATION®3 development and publishing opportunities.
The main topic of the presentation will focus on PlayStation®Network. The opportunity to produce downloadable content for PlayStation®Network has generated much interest from game studios around the world. The process of how independent game studios can create and publish downloadable games on PlayStation®Store will be discussed.
An introduction to the PlayStation®Home platform will also be presented. PlayStation®Home is a 3D social gaming community that allows PLAYSTATION®3 users to meet, chat, plan, and launch into games together. You can create your own custom avatar, decorate your personal apartment, play mini-games, shop, watch videos, and attend special events.
This presentation is sure to give game developers an insight into PlayStation® family title development!"
