PS5 devkit sells for $6.5K after seller uses ingenious disguise - Dexerto

An eBay seller has sold a PS5 dev kit disguising it as a PS5 “pizza kit” to avoid getting in trouble with Sony.

I wonder if the person who bought the PS5 dev kit is a indie developer or just a collector? My guess is the ladder .

RpgSama315d ago

What if they just wanted a cool looking pizza kit? LOL

OtterX315d ago

I'd legit buy a portable pizza oven that looked like a replica PS5 Dev kit if it were ever made available.

Well hopefully he never connects it to the Web.
Sony will disable it within seconds. But really cool collectors piece though 👌

Miacosa315d ago

Considering that it needs to phone home to be of any serious use and the fact that it will most likely get added to a block list. Seems like the person that sold it took advantage of the buyer.

Its a really cool looking piece of kit.

instant cash back from eBay, as its miss sold item, not as described,...

Hideo Kojima is a little bummed as Death Stranding 2 is testing way better

"I'm not interested in appealing to the mass market, or selling millions of copies."

I’m replaying the first game it’s great. It’s not for everyone no doubt. There are still a lot of people playing it.

Then why do a sequel straight away?

Why not something else like maybe a horror game similar to Silent Hills but rebranded into a new IP.

Reverse psychology...ok I won't buy it then.

To be honest, he is in a great situation if he doesn't have to make a mass market product. Means he can make what he wants. I think that's great.

For some reason this reminds me of issues artist have brought up regarding AI 'art'. Where literally everything is sourced from other artists. Invluding AI art in games seems like a legal nightmare.

If AI is left alone as a free platform similar to what we did with the internet, it wouldnt be an issue. But if we allow companies to patent parts of the i termet as theor own walled gardens, then yes, there would be patent wars and legal nightmare.

As to this, the title is misleading, the game’s art is not plagiarism, someone included a painting(s) that beloned to some artist, in the code.

Eonjay19m ago

Well, do you think companies should be able to include AI generated art in their game if the art is generated using the work from other people? Or should AI art be considered original and the source work be considered inspiration?
