Not the linux ones but the ones that dvelopment houses recieve. I heard Sony slashed the price to $10,000 to match MS\'s which is $10,000 I think is this true.

The DTL-10000 TOOL dev kits used to be yen2,000,000 (roughly $16,000 in USD)  or $20,000 for US developers. They has been cut to yen1,000,000/$10,000 to match that of Xbox.

According to Sega they haven\'t lowered the price.

from core magazine;


"One of the main problems with the PlayStation 2 is the cost of development, especially Sony\'s kits which are 2 million yen ($16,500) each. As a result, many companies have 5-10 people using the same kit for their games. That\'s why there are so many B-class games on the PlayStation 2, it\'s terribly inefficient."

Yep pretty much. Well to be exact, going from the PS1 dev kit, it will be a special playstation which can be hooked upto the PC and can run software which is programmed in C++. Least I think thats how it works.
