PS3 Reference Tool (DECR-1000A) Hits eBay!

**57413** · 10-06-2010,07:01 PM

Looks like DEVELOPER WebJeff2003 is selling his PS3 Reference Tool (DECR-1000A) !

For those that are unfamiliar with a Reference Tool, it is special PS3 hardware used by official game developers to develop and debug their games. It’s basically at the top of the food chain when it comes to PS3 development hardware. Allowing even more access than even PS3 Test/Debug units. Reference Tools are extremely rare to come by, the last one to pop up on eBay was almost 2 years ago. They also don’t come cheap, the starting bid for this one is set at $5100! You can check out the auction for yourselves over at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300476878152

I'm scared to stay on that page too long in case I accidentally bid

**Xeauron** · 10-06-2010,07:08 PM

Wow, I thought they weren't allowed/able to sell those!

**jaekid** · 10-06-2010,07:08 PM

Bloody hell, that was nearly a year ago...So they didn't manage much with it then?

I would say I can't believe I missed that, but I don't visit that site very often.

Cheers for the news nugget anyway...

i really thought they would have made something out of this before a years time passed, but who knows... i have no idea who was behind the original dongle...
