What exactly is a registered professional developer?  Here's my story:

I spent most of my natural life hoarding money, in the hopes that I was
going to purchase my own car one day.  Now that I can actually afford a
car (a REAL car), I'm going to college, where it would be grossly
impractical to have one.  So, now I've got all this cash, and nothing to
spend it on.

Would a "regular Joe", like me, be able to purchase a full-blown
development kit?  I don't think I would have too much trouble convicing
other CS majors to help me make a real PlayStation game.
