I would imagine that something is in the pipeline. Both PS1 and PS2 had ‘home dev’ kits.

It would be really cool if Sony Released something like XNA. Most of the stuff developed for the 360 using XNA is complete pap. But some of it is pretty good and it is a nice, free way for developers to get exposure to the hardware without risking any money.

I agree with reakt about a cut-down free version to encourage the indie coder.

Ok so you can pick up one of these dev-kits for around Â£5000. Can I just whack it on my PS3 and start coding or does that include a special PS3 dev machine as well?

“Compiling time is reduced by approximately 80% when using 6 PCs.” PCs!?!? wouldn’t it be faster (and cheaper) if the build system was configured to run across a cluster of PS3s running Linux?

Anyway, good news about the devkit. Personally I’d like Sony to release a cut-down version of the toolchain for free (or very cheap) for bedroom / lounge coders to write small games which could be distributed on the PSN.
