Vita Exporter Sony cost

[cfullerNY]

Hi

Does anyone know for sure that users will have to pay Sony more than just the 99$ a year subscription fee?

I read somewhere on this forum someone (maybe Francois) thought there was also a $1000+ SDK cost or something, but i am not reading about that on any other sites

I thought I remember reading Sony decided to reduce the costs.
Google might turn up a bit of news.

Hopefully so I just got a vita and its a nice little unit with not a lot of games and the games they have are expensive.
It will be a complete fail if Sony doesn't make it affordable to the indie/small developer similar to Xbox, iPhone, and Android.

But the answer is yes, you will have to buy the Vita SDK from Sony. So it will cost more than $99.
We will release a beta of the exporter soon. As the Vita SDK is still in beta version (so free for the moment) (but you cant publish games with it), this will be the perfect time to test it!

Francois, will the vita exporter be for exporting onto Playstation Mobile, or PS Minis?

From my research, Playstation Mobile costs only 99$ a year subscription
PS Minis requires vita SDK and costs $1000+

The exporter uses the Vita SDK. So it will export to whatever platform supported by it (I have not followed the list of platforms)

Will it be using the playstation suite (now renamed to playstation mobile) SDK? If so,

"The final SDK is set to be released “later this year” at a cost of $99."

so...which SDK are you using? this one? http://www.playstation.com/psm/developer/index_e.html

if not, please link to the SDK you are using for vita exporter.

cfullerNY: Yes, that is the SDK being used for the Vita runtime

Looks like I'll be buying 2 exporters within the next year then.

ok that is great news - because sony are saying this sdk will cost $99, *not* thousands of dollars.

Please make sure I am a beta tester for this exporter, I have a Vita and will be getting Xperia device too. I am ready to start testing the exporter and reporting bugs ASAP.
