SCEE makes PS2 open platform in Europe

According to this GameDaily piece, Sony Europe developer relations manager George Bain has told a conference of Eastern European developers that game-makers will no longer have to submit content for approval on PS2, effectively making the machine an open platform.

Bain noted that Russian and Indian developers can "create low-development cost titles and release them in their market" as one of the positive effects of this decision.

Thanks, 1UP.
