PS3 Dev Kit Or VCR

Like TechEBlog, my first reaction to the PS3 dev kit was also “ok it looks like a beat-up VCR to me”. But in all seriousness, they’re not designed to appeal to consumers of course, which you already knew. When I used to participate in focus groups at EA, the Xbox 360 dev kits weren’t anything to drool over either; they were somewhat similar to the current design, but not as polished. That being said, they have one purpose only – and that is to allow Developers and Designers to create games. I suppose the reason why this PS3 dev-kit looks nothing like the final PS3 design is because they weren’t sure how it was going to look until recently. That’s my guess.
