Sony will launch the "Get in the Game" initiative in the UK tonight, offering five lucky indie developers GBP 10,000 apiece to fuel their PlayStation Network game projects. The platform holder has partnered with Northwest Vision and Media on the initiative, a principal aim of which is to support the industry in the UK's north-western regions.
According to GamesIndustry.biz, a workshop will be held in December to give participants some idea of what it's like to work with Sony. A panel of executives and producers will subsequently select five companies to receive the cash, and game ideas will be prototyped across the first three months of 2009.
Providing Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) likes the results, these prototypes will eventually see life on PSN's hallowed pages. Guess it's not so grim up north, after all.

They should jsut release XNA style platforms so these devs don't have to buy a damn dev Kit! Unless PSN is different.. I don't see how you would dev on it without an XNA type thing.
