Yeah, they probably burn a master copy and send it to Sony for mass production; it has been a common practice since the dawn of CDs and gaming.

you kidding me right?
look at his payment terms. it was a fake sale. you would have spent the cash and got nothing in return.

personally i am not totally convinced how much it would empower coders etc. obviously it would be useful but i would expect amazing games overnight.

and yes, sony do control all burning facilities. i think the nearest one to UK is in switzerland.... but i never said that.

Nope, Sony don't distribute UMD burners. Beyond that, everything else is NDA.

Perhaps the seller was hoping many people would bid up to a high amount. You have to remember these development items could fetch quite a lot of money on eBay.
