PS5 dev kits briefly appeared on eBay before being removed, but they provide our best look yet at what Sony’s console could have looked like.
A pair of PS5 dev kits reportedly appeared on eBay, only to be pulled from auction after a few hours. However, the listing’s pictures provide a detailed look at the PlayStation 5 development kit, and it’s a radically different design to what Sony eventually went with. The eBay listing of the PS5 dev kits, known as ‘DFI-D1000AA dev kit’ and ‘DFI-T1000A test kit’, was spotted by Twitter user Zuby Tech, who managed to snag images of the PlayStation 5 developer kit before the listing was removed. Even though the listing was only up for a few hours, we can see that the auction received 12 bids and reached €2,850 (or around $3,373 / £2,425) thanks to a screenshot from Twitter user iDCx1337. That’s actually not that bad considering standard PS5 consoles were going for a similar amount during launch – scalpers made the most of the incredibly high demand and limited supply.
