We know the homebrew scene just loves to push the PSP to the limit, to show what they and Sony's little machine can do. Still, there's pushing, and there's pushing, especially if the brewer in question has THIS sitting in his bedroom. |

» no blank UMDs
To make UMDs, you have to send the code to $ony since they're the only ones who can make them. I'm sure you need to buy a hundred thousand or so.

The dev kit can play games on umds or cds and dvds.
The devs have to send the data to sony for them to put it on umds.

This Dev kit should be free or at least 120$ online from Sony store.
This is fakezord or Honk kong crap(IMO).

» not so much a DevKit as it is a Test Kit
We have these at work and we just use them for testing. You burn the games on DVD and run them on a psp that is connected to the box. It is able to run UMD's but sadly no homebrew, in fact you can not even access the memory stick from the XMB interface other then the save menu.

You are a jacka$$. This happened to me on one of my PS3's that I sold. I ended up getting all of my money back from eBay so the seller would NOT have to pay a lot for eBay fees, it's just a hassle. People like you should not be allowed to use eBay.

I'm actually the seller of this item. I came on here to try and find out some more information about the devkit. I didn't say I was the owner before because I wanted to know what everyone thought about it. IT IS NOT STOLEN! It is not a scam either. I manage a buy/sell shop in Oregon. When this first came into my store I spent 4 hours on the phone with Sony. They had no information they were willing to part with about this devkit because they don't want the general public to have them. This was purchased legally through Sony Manufacturing in Eugene Oregon from one of its former employee's after the plant shut down. He had no use for it. I tried to give it back to Sony but they wouldn't claim it. It was run through our local PD and our County PD. It is not stolen. For some reason Ebay shut the auction down. I need to sell this thing because I have no use for it either. It has been tested and works fine. If anyone is interested in please PM me. The last offer I got was for $700 but I think it may be worth more. My former employee was posting in the other thread and got it locked so I had to start a new one. Thanks

» erm, questionable.
I dont fully believe you. I work for a game studio and sony would demand that it be returned.
Licensing contracts state that hw is not owned by the studio or company who purchases it. You purchase a license to barrow it and have no right to resale it.
If you were on the phone with sony they would have demanded the unit returned and would threaten legal action if you dont comply.

» About the sony plant in Springfield Oregon
There never was a Sony plant in Eugene, it was in Springfield. And it only pressed and packaged music CDs and PS1 games. It never produced PS2 games, let alone PSP ones.
Devkits? HA! The only PS1s then eve had were the ones that were used in store displays with the TV and 2 controllers.

Everything sounds suspicious about this. Sony would never refuse the kit if it somehow fell into someone's hands, and secondly, developers (including Sony employees) do not own the kits - they license the usage of them, they have absolutely no authority to sell or re-license them (technically publishers and developers can permit the usage of them to other developers, however). It is true, however, that Sony doesn't really reclaim the kits when development generations are over. We've got handfuls of old PS kits that just collect dust. But Sony can technically can call up one day and say "give em back", and we'd have to comply.

I wonder... Can this published signed eboots? If it can, Someone could make a signed eboot for 2.80-3.02 that can "Update" it with 1.50 PSAR's. Since it's signed, It'll just basically be a 1.50 update eboot renamed to 3.04 and signed to run on any psp (< 3.04 of course... not that there is one).
If the kit can't make eboots (just UMD's). D_A could probably make a UMD iso that mounts/runs in devhook on one PSP and "GameShares" a signed downgrader "Game Demo" eboot to the PSP being downgraded.
Just my thoughts.

The kit cannot publish signed eboots, nor does it make UMDs for that matter. Given what we know about the PSP hardware and the tools available publically, this kit is just about useless to non-developers.
