If you're looking to do kewl stuff like Installing PS4 PKGs, use PS4 Mod Menus, Decrypt PS4 Games and Run PS4 Backups for the moment you'll need a PlayStation 4 DevKit / TestKit and recently a PS4 Pro (NEO) DevKit / TestKit sold at a bankruptcy United Front Games Auction in Vancouver for $600 Canadian (around $450 USD).

Based on the pictures and screenshots below from kaneda2004 (aka wertyop70), the PlayStation 4 Pro DUH-D7000AA Development Kit is on PS4 OFW 3.70 which the PS4 Professional Retail console currently ships with as stock Firmware.

PS4 Devkit is pretty useless unless you can activate it with Sony servers. They have to checkin every so often or the console disables itself, you can see in these photos it says the console has expired.

That is the link provided to the article about the guy buying the dev kit. The real interesting thing is the guy selling the dev kit. We are unsure if these are the same people.
