Skype Coming to the PSP!
Apparently Sony has plans to announce upcoming Skype compatibility for the PSP during CES this year. The company hasn't issued an official press release yet; however, Sony does in fact mention a Skype client on its CES 2008 promo site. And that seems legit enough for me.
To quote:
Call friends, talk trash to fellow gamers or catch up with acquaintances via Skype for PSP system.
The show begins January 7th and lasts till the 10th. So stay tuned!

no doubt... i have been hopeing some homebrew artist would have done this years ago..
Mother Fuck Role. Should Be Good :) PSP v3.52 M33-4PSP Slim v3.80
This has been known since about firmware 2.82. It was only a matter of time before it became official.That being said, this will be GREAT! Especially once it's hacked :D
This better not be something i need to subscribe to and pay for. Otherwise i won't get it!!!
Finally and no skype is free pc to pc calls.....funny i was looking for voip for the psp just 2 days ago
Woah.
Interesting news!!
Huh?
Watch, this Skype will only work on OFW, and we'll have to have it hacked.
We only need to make a new custom firmware for it.
mmmm voip.
do u think that sony will make a special headset so that u can listen thru a headset and talk thru a mic? that would be awsome. unless regular mics would work which wud be even sweeter!
there's already a headset for older psps
um, i see that skype could be made as an eboot, but were would to micro, be?
will it be free and psp-ers (psp people) will be abile to talk to other psp-ers?
i knew the psp would have skype along time ago.in the topmenu_icon. for any of you that know anything about the actually flash0 files. the topmenu icon shows all icons in the xmb menu.WELL sony added a skype icon either in the 3.52 firmware or the 3.71 firmware.and that was months ago. for this to be news now is pathetic.
I like new old news ^^
How is it pathetic? Before we couldn't know for sure that skype would be in use for the psp, now we have confirmation from sony themselves. I don't see anything pathetic about this news
Yer right psp[dot], this is old news... psp and skype will be cool, but i'm sure sony wants to make more money on this some how... fuckem... DAX will fuck it up and get us free skype and more on psp, no doubt.skype works good, i use it all the time... fuck $ony and Macro$oft.
Any of this wouldnt be possible without Sony and Microsoft, they are half of our enemys and half our friends.
Absolutely right. If they didn't make it in the first place, how could we own them?
Hey dumbass Sony will make money because Skype will encourage people to buy PSP's thus giving money to Sony. Just as Divx is free to use on computers, it's free to the PS3. Basically it's another bullet point. Just one more thing the PSP can offer.
This is pretty sweet.
wow a lot of things coming out on the psp.maybe one day there will be a homebrew app that is designed that when you hold the L and R button, the psp transforms into a car and you can drive it to school........I need more pot
Pots great! anyways remember kids, when your spanking off to porn on ur favorite PSP put a sandwich baggie and save yourself the cleanup
They'll be doing it sooner or later. They got the Mic being released in Japan on the 24 of Jan 2008As you can see here.http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-...
that is for the "Talk!" -game, but im pretty sure there will be headsets when they relase skype.
will this be only for the slim? or fat also.
Dude, why would they only release it for one version of the PSP? obviousely it's for both PSP's...do you see any updates ONLY for the slim PSP? No, I thought so.
cfw/fw 3.60 = psp slim only
I believe he said updates, not CFW... douche.
Use common sense people, shit...And SinWarrior, why is 3.6 slim only?Anyway, Skype is an instant messaging and vocal communication system. It allows free PC-to-PC (Or in this case, PC-to-PSP or PSP-to-PSP or PSP-to-PC...) calling through TCP/IP. They also have a paid account level for Skype, which allows you to either pay so much for unlimited, or a minute-based rate, which allows VOIP. This does NOT mean that the PSP will support the VOIP feature. I don't see why it won't, but it isn't guaranteed. VOIP aside, Skype is no different than if we were to port MSN to PSP. Videochat, Instant Messaging, so on.
3.6 is slim only. the next update for the phat (and slim also) was 3.7.3.6 was the slims startoff firmware with a few added features from 3.5
will this be like talking on xbox live? also, one thing sony REALLY needs to do is update the PSP's flash player.
Am I missing something? Does PSP have a microphone in? I only see a headphone out..: \
There are headsets available for the PSP with a microphone built in. Games like Socom support in game voice chat. It plugs into the headphone jack but has an extra piece that extends into the serial port. The PSP does not have an onboard mic, you have to have a headset.
the psp go! cam has a built in microphonealso sony plan to put this on thier uncrackable firmware
Uncrackable firmware!LMAO!
Once a crackable firmware...Always a crackable firmware. Also watch your mouth, it needs to be washed out with soap for saying that.
cool, skype on PSP!!!But if skype icons was discovered on 3.71 then shouldnt it work on 3.71m33?and is it going to be UMD or eboot or what?Hakobo-which SOCOM has voice chat?
the FIRST socom... FTB...
The 2nd gen PSP files were found in older updates, but that didn't mean your fatty could magically diet into a slim. The icons are just preparation. Chances are, Sony will require you to download a Skype users license and download it onto your MS. Basically like getting a Skype UMD without the middle man.,
I'm excited for this... gonna be really cool.
LET THERE BE CAKE!!!!!!
i HATE these 'vidshadow' ads that redirect the psp site to that stupid site with the chick in that choppy video going "theres a party over here....and a party over there...and blah blah blah" its like damn stfu already....
and for the record, redirecting traffic to third party ad sites is a bad idea for the world of hackers. the ad company could be a Sony affiliate, capturing IP addresses, cookie data, and other info, of all people trying to get to this site.
fuck skype and fuck y`allskype is a piece of fecal matter and ima gonna dev me own homebrew that usez the chottocam's mic to fly by wifi to another pspmaybe even add a little robot in there that goes like FUCK YOU at 7:00 am sharpnow that'd be fuckin useful wouldn't it
Yeah as bout as useful as your mother's womb. Maybe you can get that priest molests you to buy you one, he can use the money he makes from pimping you to his church members, CLOWN.
people need to smoke more pot and relax
