Sony's Gamer's Day has just wrapped up, and we're learning new details from around the web. Unfortunately, details of new firmware didn't seem to be revealed. Highlights from the event include:

Demonstration of Remote Play at work: the PS3 started playing the trailer to the upcoming Bond flick Casino Royale. Then, the video was interrupted and then resumed on the PSP. It sounds exactly how it should've worked.

John Smedley from Sony Online Entertainment demonstrated PSone download functionality .The games, as expected, can be transferred to your PSP. Mr. Smedley hinted at future PSone emulation on the PLAYSTATION 3 console.
Downloadable games will $14.99 or less. To compare, N64 Virtual Console games on the Wii will cost about $10, so we're hoping Sony prices the games a little bit lower to be a little bit more competitive.

thank god psone emulation on the ps3 will be sweet, no control problems at all and it will be on your big screen tv too

, i hope they lower the price of psone games down to 10 or even 5 dollars so that they are real cheap and easy to buy, i want a ps3 now more that i found out it will run linux and later play psone games(downloads)

Man, nothing on FW 3.0? I got friends who just love to update (poor souls) and I needed the Info for the Gamers Club at my school forum board.
If PS1 games are 15 bucks a piece, screw the official PS1 emulator! AC! Hurry up!
The remote play, however, does catch my eye, but not enough for me to upgrade. I can't wait to see Dark_alex or Ookum(?) find an exploit in the PS1 emulator or something like that.

Wow a little steep for colectors that have a huge ps1 library and have to pay an extra 15 for games they already own.

I agree with ya mate, $15 (about £9) is a tad expensive if you already own all those games, plus you can purchase most PS1 games second hand for a fraction of that price! ...$ony are just trying to make as much revenue they can from gamers(de-ja-vu?).

I was hoping for like 5$ ps1 games. I don't know what eelse to say.

ps1 Sucks, why would u want to emulate it? Plus a big screen will just highlight how $#@! its graphics are. Not to mention how overly expensive it is.

At least emulate something cool like N64! ^^
