And Sony is loaning them out for free left and right.
[quote]Although this $2,500 price is being cited in development circles, the game-makers we spoke to all said that Sony had lent them dev-kits for a limited period of one year, for free. [T]here are no dev-kits being sold. Sony is sending whatever it has available to favored developers. "All the indies I know got them for free," said one developer.[/quote]
For comparison, the PS3 devkit originally cost $20K.
Sony is not screwing around this generation.

"Sony is sending whatever it has available to [b]favored[/b] developers." Im sure post indie devs don't fall under the favored category this is still good for those who are but for the average indie dev this wont mean much.
