PS2 and PSP dev kits available for students

Posted on Saturday, 7 June 2008 by Herrdidi, source: Gamesindustry.biz
SCEA or in other words the game division of Sony America, has decided to grant students from different universities access to the PS2 and PSP development kits delivered with the necessary hardware.

The program is not intended as a general game creation program, but is for computer science and engineering teachers who want to use the development kits in their classes to teach students how the PlayStation hardware works.

SCEA said that it wants to make sure that students who are graduating from college are ready to program on PlayStation hardware.

I for one find this a nice initiative, but I fear the universities won't be buying the materials unless they’re already specialized in game development. I can’t imagine this will be cheap either.
