Sony didnt say whether the hardrive will come with the ps3 or whether you would have to buy it separtely,im thinking itll come with the ps3 gotta wait and find out though
-Sony Showed off what the PS3 online is gonna be like go here to read all about it http://ps3.ign.com/articles/696/696075p1.html basically they just copied everythin that xboxlive is lol which isnt neccessarly a bad thing for us
-Ken Kutaragi (guy who does all these press confrences) said the ps3 will be  "live" and that the PS3 concept is "4D".
-No PS3 games were shown (guess there waiting till E3 for that)

The only thing that wasnt mentioned at the confrence was the Price on the PS3, sony is probably gonna tell us at E3
*Update*
however the "father of the playstation" Ken Kutaragi said this when asked about the PS3 price last year "[PS3] is not a game machine. We've never once called it a game machine. I'm not going to reveal [the PS3's] price today. I'm going to only say that it'll be expensive. I'm aware that with all these technologies, the PS3 can't be offered at a price that's targeted towards households."   

PSP

-- The PSP userbase is 96% male and Sony views this as a problem. Ideally, the company would like more women to play PSP and Sony looks to widen the system's appeal to various demographics.

--The PSP will get its own version of the EyeToy in September and the peripheral will feature motion-tracking games like EyeToy Play, as well as add functions such as video chat. (Curiously, though, no confirmation on a still photo snap function like on cellphones.) The camera is sliver and it attaches to the USB port.

-- Starting this fall, the PSP will receive some key new features. Video and voice-over-IP features will launch in October in "motion jpg" format, allowing PSP owners to use their PSPs as a virtual phone and even, with that new EyeToy, a portable video phone.

-- The PSP will also include a GPS receiver with an update rate of once every second with a 40-second fix time from a cold start. Minna no Golf (Hot Shots Golf) will be one of the first games supported. Interestingly enough, SCE lists that GPS support is already out there, that the "Library has already released partially" ... what titles could those be?

-- Macromedia Flash will be included with a spring Network update, along with improved RSS support for playback and saving of net-broadcast radio and video.

The biggest PSP announcement was that the PSP is going to be able to play PS1 games! heres more info
 Sony's Ken Kutaragi continues to drop PlayStation Portable news during the company's PlayStation Business Briefing 2006 as he's just announced that the PSP will see "E-Distrubution" features added sometime in the future.



Users will be able to boot software directly from their Memory Stick, all official-like this time around (you know what I mean). The first major announcement for use of this will be a series of PSOne games - yes, you will be able to download classic PlayStation titles and play them on your PSP. No word yet as of whether or not you'll be able to transfer games directly via disc or not, or which games we should see first, but more news on this as it comes in.

-Sony announced psp price drop to $199 US taking affect March 22

Also looks like the PSP will soon become a digital camera  http://psp.ign.com/articles/696/696079p1.html
