I never said the PlayStation will disappear overnight, if you = re-read what=20 I wrote, I said "when the PlayStation 2 is out and = everyone is developing for that = instead of the=20 PlayStation..."
What I'm saying is that when there is no more = commercial=20 development for the PlayStation then it would be nice if Sony released = the=20 proffesional development software and documents.
 
To be honest I can't see why = the Net=20 Yaroze dev kit is crippled anyway and that only "selective"=20 information is available, but then I'm not really that bothered since = I'm happy=20 with it.
