Have you seen Microsoft's dev kits lately? The XBox dev kits were beige boxes, and the XBox 360 dev kits are standard G5 systems (dual 2 GHz) that you might purchase right off the shelf at the local Best Buy.

Dev kits always are bland. They aren't selling them except to developers so they don't have to look good.

Dev kits get tossed around underneath piles of books and cables and rotten oranges under the game developer's desks.

That's probably a newer PS2 dev kit though, now that the PS2 has been out so long. Back before the PS2 launched when it was state-of-the-art technology, the dev kits were likely much bigger.

It does look cool though Very Happy


I've never seen a Nintendo dev kit...
