Sony Slashes Price of Dev Kit

Joystiq is reporting that Sony has slashed the price of their development kit, The Playstation 3 Reference Tool, in half to $10,250 USD.
Sony has also announced plans to further cut the cost of the development kit once more studios have adopted the format. On the surface, it’s clear that Sony’s struggling to earn new developers for their console, and hopes that incentives like a reduced entry fee for development will bring new blood to the system. On the other hand, decreased developer costs are good for everyone, so we’ll eagerly wait to see where this takes the PS3 in the coming months.
The question is, is IBM still giving free lessons on how to program for it?
