The PlayStation 5 developer kit, also known as the Dev Kit, has been put up for sale via a public auction on Yahoo! Japan. The version on display looks exactly the same as the developer kit that appeared before the public release three years ago, except it's called Prototype 2.

This rare copy, according to Wololo, was auctioned for a price $ 5.500 as the starting price. This shouldn't be the final sale price. Despite this, the auction has already ended, but the buyer and the final sale price have not been revealed.

The PlayStation 5 Dev Kit is generally ineffective, as it contains software that allows users to access the system's internal settings. It's only available to developers, but Sony has already blocked these devices from allowing new users, other than developers, to access these technologies and use them for illegal purposes.

The famous device that first appeared when it was first revealed several years ago is V-shaped with ventilation holes surrounding it on all sides. It also features numerous ports and buttons that developers use for development purposes.

Of course, if this PlayStation 5 is purchased by the public, it will simply be a model that can't run games on it, nor access the internet or the digital store. Therefore, it will serve as a work of art to be added to the library of fans and collectors of devices and items, nothing more.

When discussing the first model of Sony's new device, sources strongly suggest Sony intends to launch a new version of the device in global markets. This new version may be smaller than the current model, eliminating the disc drive, which can be purchased separately.

The price of the new device, believed to be the PS5 Slim, could be lower than the current digital version, while sources have confirmed that it will replace the two versions currently available.

Coming back to the PlayStation 5 Dev Kit, are you willing to pay that kind of money to get this rare version, even if it's not usable at all?
