It isn't possible to buy a PlayStation development kit at your local computer store and development for the PlayStation has remained a mystery, even to very interested individuals. It gives [Mark Danks, Senior Manager of Developer Support] great pleasure to unveil the mystery and announce the PlayStation-edu program! Sony expects this program to be a great tool to teach students about the PlayStation platforms.
PlayStation-edu is a program for universities and colleges to get access to PS2 and PSP development kits…the same ones that professional developers use to make the games you love to play. You get the development software, the hardware, and the SDK to learn and experiment with. SCEA wants to make sure that students who are graduating from college are ready to program on PlayStation hardware and that means getting it into your hands.
