    Sony cuts the price of its PS3 dev kit

    Sony is making it more enticing for developers to create games for the PlayStation 3. The company announced it is drastically cutting the price of its PlayStation dev kit.

    Right now developers are shelling out $10, 250 for a kit. The new price will bring it closer to $2,000. That’s quite a fire sale! The new kit will also look a lot more like an actual PS3 than the previous kit.

    Sony is also saying it will offer “enhanced technical support for developers, an optimized PS3 compiler (SNC PPU) to improve efficiency, and better documentation for PhyreEngine.”

    Sure, it’s great news for developers but where is the price cut for consumers?
