Sony’s PlayStation Network service offers “a perfect learning opportunity” for young and upcoming developers, believes Sony Worldwide Studios President, Shuhei Yoshida.
Speaking during an interview with Kotaku.com, Yoshida commented, "This is great for the industry as a whole because games development has become bigger and bigger and lots of people coming into the industry have to start by taking part as a very small part in a large development and the games take three years to develop - that doesn't help people to get experience on making games.”
Yoshida added that the service affords an ideal opportunity for developers to branch into interesting new concepts, stating, "The network is a perfect learning opportunity for the young developers as well as very entrepreneurial, independent minded creators to try out new concepts and release it globally... and get the reaction from consumers."
"That's a huge learning opportunity for these young developers as well as an industry being able to try new concepts... It's a great opportunity for those creators to show what they can do and also to try out new ideas that perhaps induce a larger development," he explained.

If you're serious, contact Sony about a project you want to create.
You don't have to purchase a 10,000 dollar dev kit, there are free dev kits specifically for people working on small PSN projects I think.
