European PSP Users Get Skype
The latest firmware update from Sony for the PSP has been released, adding the much anticipated ability for PSP Slim & Lite owners to make and receive free Skype phone calls.
Owners of the original PSP though are out of luck. Just hook up a suitable Skype headset and you’re in business. Sony recently halted the Japanese rollout, putting the US and European rollout in jeopardy but all’s well now – except in Japan, that is. It has to be a first though, us getting something before the Japanese.
The ability to make free Skype calls is a cracking add-on to the already sexy and increasingly useful PSP Slim & Lite. The previous firmware update added Internet radio.
The other key feature added with the 3.90 update is the Go!Messenger program which, from February, will enable video and voice chat between PSP owners. Nice.-Martin Lynch
