No shit, it was about THIS big!
Wow, that's GINORMOUS!
 
They knew devs would be sleeping at the office so they included a roll-away bed inside, and a bible just like hotels.
 
So what is inside, is it a macro board of PS3 but with just lower-spec processors and debug stuff, or are there added/missing components compared to final tools?
 
Got a pic Faf?
Unfortunately I was too stupid to take some pics of it back then :( Partly it was the whole thing with being in Japan for the first time in my life and all - kinda didn't stop to think I would want a memento of the early PS2 devkit...

(bet he has a ton of tech porn)
Oh you have no idea :D
 
lmfao, when it was loading I was like " Huh that's not so big.... OMFG THAT'S NOT A TABLE THE DEVKIT'S SITTING ON, THATS THE DEVKIT "

It's so cut--damn that's pretty freaking large


lol you think that is big? The xbox 360 beta kit's power supply is that big... (anyone who has seen a beta 360 will get a laugh outta that heh)
 
I won't be original.

Holy fucking shit, that's big.

I can just imagine it being some nuclear super computer. You turn it on and the whole building has to evacuate.

...Big.

I bet it rumbles like a sub woofer... :D
 
does it run on gas?

or does it catch lightning bolts? could you imagine if it was true? PS3 RUN ON STORM LIGHTNING!? OMG!!!!
 
On a more serious note - is it really that big? I looked at it again and found that it's pretty hard to judge it's size as there's no reference point. The pic look like it's pretty zoomed in and it could actually be rather small. The uncomfortable chairs in the background coul be far away or close...

Well the box on top to the right looks as big as a Red House brick, so its pretty freaking huge

I'd say it's about the size of a tower case...

people are probably looking at the exposed green bits and subconciously assuming that they're 5.25 inches, which would make the box very big indeed... on the otherhand, if they're 3.5", it would be as big as most standard tower cases, just really bland looking.

But seriously, this is classic GAF/internet syndrome, just trying to have fun and blowing up an issue that shouldn't exist...

by not looking at the facts; i.e. previous alpha development kits were also of a similarly large size, and similarly raw and ugly and large looking.
