Biggest problem being you need two separate accessories to run it: headphones and a mic. That'll be sorted next month when Sony release their official Skype headset, which while still lacking an official price is currently listed on Amazon for the all-too-affordable price of $20. More »

Europe and the US have been chattering away on PSP Skype since January, while Japanese gamers waited. The reason?

A software update will hit the day before. More »

While it's harder than one might think to test the clarity of a peer-to-peer phone call via Sony's own mouse-phone hybrid in a busy convention hall, there were no complaints about the actual technical capabilities of the service. Actually, the two Sony reps making the calls were about six inches from us when we picked up the phone, so those with an ear for such things may want to wait until in the field reviews arrive, if they're picky.

Call friends, talk trash to fellow gamers or catch up with acquaintances via Skype for PSP system.
Skype on the PSP would be super hot, since it's an internet phone service that can make free internet to internet calls, or inexpensive internet to phone calls (and it's video enabled on PCs). With sexy enough integration into the PSP, it could sway people to make a call on the PSP rather than their cellphone when around Wi-Fi hotspots...if only the PSP handled Wi-Fi as well as a PC. CES kicks off next week and we'll surely have some more details on the venture then. More »
