Ummmm... As far as I understand the licence, the actual physical black
Playstation is *ours*. That's /not/ the development kit that we licence.
We're effectively licencing the memory card, the two dev CDs, the
manuals + the link cable. /That's/ what we would theoretically have to
return, /not/ the actual machine.
