Internal Prototyping

It is confirmed that Sony did many mockups for testing button placements and general design. An example can be seen in the initial setup video of Firmware 0.990 where the buttons are clearly not functional.

There is a theory that this unit is just a DEM-3000G/H model with an overlay test casing:
