The cost difference is about £15,000! The libs are also different in a very big way and so is support. Remember that pro developers make SCE money...NY members do not. Also if they would have given full libs to NY members..why would pro developers shell out £15,000 for a kit when they could just buy a NY for a lousy £500? I think what was supplied with the NY was nearly perfect. As a side note...how long did it take for some NY member to post NY manuals, code, exe's, tools on the Internet? Or even give their friends access the the private NY website/newsgroups? Almost a week after it was released here in Europe. Goes to show that some members did't take the NY User Agreement serious and still don't. Why then would SCE give full access to a NY 2? The Internet would be flooded! Damn hackers would sure love it..argh!! This is all my personal view by the way....
