Well the most well known of the Physics Processing Units (PPU) has been around for a bit, but they have just hit with news that in the US of A you can pick one up at NewEgg or TigerDirect for the low, low price of $99 (about £50).
Thats a pretty special price for all that functionality, granted it doesn’t work with many games at present, but all that might change with the other news they’ve revealed today:
Soon AGEIA will be launching their Unreal Tournament 3 mod-kit allowing you to hack about with the game to add exciting new features and physics-y based shenanigans.
This should hopefully be a turning point for the device, really opening it up to the potential that the mod-community can unleash (and we’ve all seen some of the brilliant mods these guys can come out with), and it gives you the chance to play with the SDK or to play with the two already-modded levels that are being released with it (those are available today).
Press release on the mod-kit after the hop.
