Here is the first glimpse of the upcoming Skype software integrated into PSP's XMB firmware, and the accompanying PSP microphone peripheral.
Skype is a voice-over-IP (internet) program that will allow PSP users to make voice calls to other PSP owners via the web.
As reported earlier, Skype will rather shockingly only be available for PSP Slim units, not the old-school fat ones. Soz, early adopters.
The microphone peripheral necessary for voice chat will go on sale in Japan on January 24 for 2,500 Yen (£) for one, or 4000 Yen (£) for a two pack, according to Famitsu.
Neither the microphone nor Skype service has been dated for UK. Sony has also revealed a 16GB Memory Stick Duo for PSP too, which will be out in March and cost a fortune.
