What\'s the cost of a PS2 dev kit?

[Living-In-Clip]

Unless you know extensive C and quite abit of ASM, a developers kit is pretty pointless, beyond novelty value.

PS2 dev kit prices have been halved and royalties on PSX/PSOne games have been lowered, paving the way for cheaper games. Sega Smilebit started developing their games when the kits were 2 million yen while the Xbox kits were 1 million. Now the price of PS2 kits is the same as Xbox kits.

Thanks for link.  I needed that to prove to any X-Box fan boy that they halved the dev kit costs:)

So exactly how much can I get one for in £GBP.
