Yes. Sony had planned to release the kit, but did not have any way to
judge interest. So they did an *extremely* limited run (500 units,
IIRC) and announced it on /. You had to enter a lottery to get one,
and since tens--if not hundreds--of thousands of Slashdaughters
applied, I did not get one, despite the fact that I was a
Japanese-speaking Linux geek who was living in Japan, where Sony
released the promo unit. :(

Yes, I am still bitter. ;)
