This kit comes with some really neat debugging features that hopefully help to ease the pain of debugging such a huge system. You can use ChipScope Pro to trigger on a real signal in the FPGA (like an interrupt) and send back sample data as waveforms. Basically a built in logic analyzer.
Also, the whole system can be simulated using a Smartmodel of the PPC, so you can see all the signals as simulation waveforms when running your software. And of course there's GDB w/ GUI for software.
You can contact the Xilinx Univeristy Program and inquire about the ML300 board:

I'm not sure what kind of discount they can get for you but it's worth a shot.

Yes, the larger parts have 4 PPC cores, but this board uses a part that has only 1 PPC core. Just wanted to clarify.
SMB3 may be the best single player game

But Contra has to be the best simultaneous 2 player game ever. I wonder how many people have a few brain cells permanently dedicated to the Contra 30 man code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, select, start)?
