Getting your title into production
Please be aware that all discs that run on consumer machines must be tested by SCEE QA & manufactured in large production plants at DADC in Austria, where special anti-piracy technology is added to the master to create the finished "black" disc. Standard production runs thus tend to be in the tens of thousands - it is thus not commercially viable to create small numbers of discs for niche applications.

Registration Process:

1. Developer Registration
   First of all, we will check the details you have supplied to us in your new Licensee Application. Once these are verified we will need to issue you with Confidentiality & Non Disclosure Agreement. Both copies should be signed and returned to SCEE, who would sign both and return a copy for your files and keep a copy for our files.
2. Concept Appraisal
   We will then ask you to supply us with concept documentation for the game you intend to create. We will pass this to our evaluators who will evaluate it against pre-set criteria. Providing your concept/design satisfy these criteria and there is a clear business opportunity for both parties, we would then move to the next phase of the process.
3. Further Appraisal
   Providing your concept document passes our evaluation procedure, we will need to see and approve executable code at various predefined stages before we can issue your final Licensed Developer Agreement.

Please fill out the new licensee application form to express your interest in registration.
