A Reviewer Kit is type of Development Kit that was sent out to game journalists to review a game weeks or months before its release. They use the same dark gray/charcoal case as a Development Kit, however, lack the Sidecar and thus use a standard 20GB Hard Drive. They have a small sticker near the A/V port that reads Reviewer Kit. Some units had a secondary serial barcode sticker. Reviewer Kits were replaced with Demo Kits fairly quickly.
Notes
- Full development bootloaders
- Lacks motherboard headers for SPI (J1D2) and Debug (J2B1) used by the Lamprey Board and Sidecar
- Lacks Sidecar power header
