Speaking at the Games/Edu strand of the Develop Conference 2009, SCEE R&D's Sarah Lemarie has confirmed that a PS3 dev kit designed for academia is now in closed beta. "I have exciting news. We have started a PS3 Academic Development Programme, and we're refering to the dev kits as mini-dev kits, which I can best described as being in a closed beta stage at present. We'll be opening this beta up slowly," confirmed Lemarie, who works as as SCEE R&Ds education contact and support infrastructure development team manager.
The dev kit includes a consumer sized PS3 with a low power function, two USB ports, and a full SDK. "We're making PhyreEngine available as part of this program," added Lemarie. Interesting news, will wait to see what the price is however. Maybe Sony has not left it too late and has not missed the development boat after all (XNA has been around for quite awhile now!).
