The good news is that Sony has confirmed the arrival of Skype functionality to the PSP along with a new headset. The bad news is that it’s only going to work with the newer PSP Slim, which kinda screws most of the PSP population – including me.
For PSP Slim owners, they’ll be able to make free Skype calls to other PSP [not Fat PSP] users and those on PCs and laptops with a Skype account. For a fee they’ll be able to use the PSP for making cheap calls to other phones. The PSP is on a roll these days, most recently getting Internet radio.
A new PSP firmware update with the Skype application is due next month. Users will also need the add-on PSP microphone and ear-buds, or, the less clunky Skype headset pictured here.
Not exactly discreet but hey, you want free phone calls don’t you?
