Is each Devkit ~10K, or is that for a site license? It seems that QA costs would be astronomical if they were 10K per system.

- wmf 17y agoThat's for each one. Apparently I'm a little behind the times, because they dropped to $2K recently: http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/24/sony-introduces-a-new-ps3-dev-kit-for-bargain-shoppin-developers/ http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/24/sony-introduces-a-new-ps3... IIRC they were originally ~20K and the military-industrial complex kept trying to buy them but Sony refused because they didn't even have enough for the real game developers. I've read that many console games are developed simultaneously on PC and console so that the developers who don't have a devkit can run the game.
