PS5: eBay auction with two Playstation 5 developer test kits pulled out of traffic

Consolidated snapness has lately led to some headlines over PS5 offers on the online market square eBay. Mostly it was about astronomical prices or fraudulent offers. However, in a new auction that caused a stir, two pieces were offered, which are even rarer than the console itself: PS5 dev kits, ie test kits that usually use developers teams. Here you will learn more about this unusual offer.

Developer kits on eBay - that's behind it

It's about it: On eBay has recently been sighted an auction at which two so-called Dev Kits, so developer test kits were offered. For this purpose, two black dualsense controllers were offered.

The bids reached 2850 euros before the online marketplace moved the auction from traffic. However, IDCX1337 has documented the offer in a Twitter thread. In this you can also give yourself an optical impression:

What has it with the devices on themselves? at Dev Kits is hardware sent by console manufacturers to Studios so that they can develop and test their games. As Gamerant reports, prices are called between a few hundred and several thousand US dollars.

What can you start with the hardware as end consumer *? Dev Kits are usually not designed to play retail versions of games according to Gamerant. In addition, the user license must be updated at regular intervals. So if you get a DEV kit into your fingers in somehow as end consumers, you get "only" a rare collector's item.

More PlayStation News:

  • PS5: Sony does not make any losses with the consoles - but only with a model
  • PS5 delivery problems soon Adé: Sony secures enough chips for 14.8 million consoles

Why was the auction stopped?

Over the reasons why the offer was prevented from Ebay, nothing is known. We also do not know how the seller or the saleswoman came to the hardware. All could be speculated that the auction was removed on Sony's wish.

It is not the first time that a PlayStation Dev Kit is offered publicly. Gamerant reports in this context also from an incident with a PS4 DEV kit. Some copies of the test kits were awarded to indie studios to save them the costs. One of them finally landed in a foreclosure.

What do you think of this auction?
