Skype coming to the PSP - Proof

Posted on: January 02, 2008

Skype coming to the PSP


[CES 2008] The CES 2008 website from Sony shows that the PSP will feature Skype support – something that is definitely not out today. The PSP video also gives the information away, although it shows up only for 1 frame! It’s an interesting Easter egg and apparently, we are the first to have caught it :)

Skype only works with the PSP 2000 series (Slim) because the software and hardware is updated and improved vs the PSP 1000 series (Fat). And because 1000 series and 2000 series accessories don't work with one another... there is no possiable way to get something on the slim on the fat. In simple words... Skype cannot, in any way, be put on the first PSP! I know it sucks, but if you have the 1000 series PSP (Fat) and want Skype you will have to buy the new PSP 2000 series (Slim). I have the slim so i don't have to worry.

XD, Sony didn't try their hardest to get it on the fat PSP, they _intentionally_ did that so people would have to buy a PSP Slim if they wanted to use it portably.

Skype is actually quite cheap considering you can call landlines in America for free, and their international rates are really good.

It sucks because you have to buy a service to call regular phones. Also, you have to get a special kind of microphone.

yeh this doesn't work on the old fat PSP1000's because of lack of RAM. Sony have stated that they tried there hardest to get it to work on the older ones but the lack of RAM was just too much of an issue to work around. And iv herd that it will work with the SOCOM headset.
