Phil recently demoed Home, and some of their other announcements made at GDC to a couple lucky UK gamers. Among that though, he announced a few new features for the Playstation 3.
The main statement he made was that a new high-def Eyetoy and mic will be coming out, and that before the end of the year, you will be able to play original Playstation games on your PS3, which currently are only playable on Sony’s PSP.
