So yeah, it's more appropriate. Still it’s great news for tiny/indie developers, and probably great news for Japanese developers more to the point.

Apparently PS3 kits were nearly $20k to begin with and dropped to $10k in late 2007 to 'price match the 360 kits'. So 360 kits might well still be $10k. Although not for long, I suspect. :-D I did a bit of searching to try and find out, but couldn’t get anything recent.

He's like that. No idea about the cost of a 360 devkit. But chnaces are they are pretty similar now, if the PS3 devkit was fucking $10,000 and is now $2,000. Great great news, along with the Phyre engine news. Blerk shot you down from your cloud.

Anyway, that's a hell of a drop. About time they did something to encourage developers to get stuck in. Anyone know how much Microsoft charge for theirs?
