A PlayStation 5 dev kit was sold online for a rather high price, and the seller had to be clever to avoid having it delisted by Sony.
As reported by Consolevariations on X/Twitter, a dev kit was recently sold for the whopping price of $6000. To avoid the item from getting delisted, the seller disguised the system as a PizzaStation 5 development kit, making fun of its V-shaped design, which was also picked on by many when the first images of the dev kit surfaced online in 2019.
