This actually makes a lot of sense. The more companies that have Dev kits (And the sooner they have them) the better they can make the games. The kits will practically pay for themselves if this gamble pays off.

I completely agree. I'm starting to see that Sony is taking nothing for granted this time around. They're going all out to win this console war.

They did the same with Net Yaroze machines, this is not something new.

How is this the same as Net Yaroze?

Family friend tried to buy one but when Sony found out he was a student at Abertay they gave him and a few others one for free.

If you read the article from Eurogamer the other week about Net Yaroze, you'd know Sony did the same.

But Yaroze was years after the PSone came out - this is happening now.

And? They're still giving out dev kits for free.
