First PS5 devkit photo: Valid Verification or Very Vexing Vents?

whatever
the point is, prototype hardware using 3D printed design is not at all uncommon. Valve gave out 3D printed Steam Controllers to early devs, I have two in my bedroom right now.
In fact, that's one of 3D printing's greatest achievements. It lets people quickly prototype new shells than used to be. Prototype hardware using materials and technologies specifically targeted towards rapid prototyping isn't suspicious at all.
Wait what? I thought someone was joking showing the steam controller as a repsonse to someone doubting this is 3d printed.
So Steam controllers sent for devs were 3D Printed? I neevr knew this. :o
I wonder if someday even the retail consoles will be 3D pronted too to maximize profits.
Not just were the steam controllers 3D printed, much of the prototype Steam Machine case was also 3D printed.
At Dev Days, you could even request the CAD files for the Steam Controller shell from Valve directly.
I like it. Hopefully the bulkier design and surplus ventilation means the fan won't kill my ears
The problem is dust and cockroaches will kill the console itself after few days, the fan will become a windmill after.
there are 6 USB ports on the front, on the right. One has a cable plugged into it.
2 actual developers have replied here and you - someone who asks the most random questions about technology - are saying they're liars?
Got an idea what's going on with port 1? Just a weird angle? Proprietary plug for PSVR or something (but still has the USB logo for some reason...)?

No idea. I don't know anything about PS5, whether or not this is a real devkit, etc. I'm just saying that there are labeled USB ports on the pic.
These are for stacking yeah? Is there a under side pic of the PS4 dev kit? If they can slot into these upper pegs that would answer the reason they are on the PS5 dev kit.Yeah, this is the PS4's devkit
Technically none of us own these things anymore, we license them until these companies want them back.
I'll miss my Wii U dev kit if Nintendo ever come for it,
Fuck me, the kids aren't going to know what the fuck that is. LMAO.
I don't see any C ports though. I only see the usual A/B ports.
Since they are going all in on SSD it seems like ti would make sense to get USB and some really high speeds so you could take advantage of an external SSD too. I doubt it could cost much as every new electronic device is using C.
Okay cool cool. I was just wondering if you had an idea of what that was supposed to be. Thanks anyways.
Also the word prototype written all over it, if thats not a total sign, dunno what is.
I had one, too! I'm guessing you got to play it at e3? I think I played an Unreal demo or some shit.
No I actually own this. It's not licensed to any companies. Was also bought from a bankruptcy auction so it's not stolen.

Anywho, it's not uncommon for Devkits to use different forms of compatible ports. The early Dreamcast Katana SDK has a standard DB-9 serial port on the back, for example:
instead of Sega's proprietary serial port:
So you couldn't use the Katana directly with retail Dreamcast serial products like the Neo Geo Pocket Link.
Man I hope the final product looks like that, what better than having a V/5 built right into it like that.
You technically do not own it. That's akin to buying stolen goods, not that anybody would care. Nobody is supposed to be allowed to sell their kits. That goes way back, actually. Sony were among the first companies to do that, actually. Like with Sega products, up until the Dreamcast, you could buy them directly from cross-products or PsyQ.
Yep, that's how I got mine. I believe that shirt even glows in the dark.
Are you registered with Sony? If not, it should be a doorstop I would think.
Yeah it could definitely be on the back or something else entirely.perhaps it's on the back?

This is getting a little too reasonable and responsible for the internet. One of us should post that the PS5 will flop without a USB C port and see where it goes from there.
Yeah this is what I was getting at, like if I wind down my company tomorrow I can't sell the various kits I've paid lots of money to acquire because technically I don't own them and can't resell them.
Sorta like how you can't fix your own John Deere devices anymore because they just license parts of them to you.
Yeah, but those looked like dev kits. Why does this have such a unique design if it's only for the dev kit?
