PSP Vault has some photos of what looks like a PSP developer kit. The unit looks like a tower PC with what appears to be a UMD drive in one of the bays. The included PSP unit has both a USB cable and what looks like perhaps a VGA cable, as well. We’ve got no other details on this, but we know these kits exist, they’re very expensive, and good luck getting your hands on one even if you’ve got the dough to shell out. Click on for a photo of the tower unit.

from psp vault..

For the curious, we've come across some photos of what appears to be a developer or debugging kit which includes a UMD drive. According to an unconfirmed source, these run at about $8,000 and are, in fact, SDKs. As far as we know, there aren't available to the general public.

Do you think it's Internet-ready?

That is so cool to see. I like how developer-friendly Sony is. Remember the Playstation Net-Yarouze (sp?). I think it was $700US back when I was "not" in college.

Net Yaroze I think it was spelled, but I could be wrong...
I remember that though, black PS2 that PSM mentioned a few times.

I remember the PS2's Yarouze project, but I was referring to the original Playstation's project. That one was also black. I saw a bunch of garage developer games from it in an issue of Game Informer. I thought it was pretty cool back then, however, it probably wasn't as successful as Sony thought it would be back then.
