Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has delayed the launch of the Skype service for PSP users just 24 hours before it was due to launch.
The company had prepared two first-party microphone packages for launch day, but neither of these has met specifications defined by Skype.
As a result, Sony said it decided to postpone the launch of the service until a solution can be found.
"Solutions to enable users to start using Skype features and services on their PSP are being sought for and will be announced in due course," said SCEJ.
Sony only confirmed Skype for PSP earlier this month a CES, saying it would be enabled in the latest software upgrade.
The Skype software has over 246 million registered users, and allows for free communication over the internet.
Sony Europe has stated that the service will still launch in the region as scheduled, before the end of this month.

Halt; Capcom Europe has told Eurogamer that European Xbox 360 gamers will get the Devil May Cry 4 demo the same day as their American counterparts - January 24th.
However it won't appear on PlayStation Network until one week later, to be precise. You could mock up a US account if you fancied downloading it tomorrow, mind.
Sorry for any confusion, we will look both ways before crossing the road from now on.

KOEI, recognized worldwide as the premier brand of strategy and action games, today announced that Nobunaga's Ambition®: Rise to Power has reached gold status. The historical simulation from legendary game producer Kou Shibusawa will ship to North American retailers starting February 5, 2008, exclusively for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.
Gamers looking for the latest information on Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power, can visit the newly launched minisite at www.koei.com/risetopower.
About Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power
Set during the 16th century, Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power sends players back in time to the Sengoku (Warring States) period of Feudal Japan. It was during this time that the visionary Nobunaga Oda assembled the most advanced military force in Japan, and instituted new policies that stimulated the growth of the nation's economy.
In Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power, players will assume the role of Nobunaga, or of a rival warlord, in their quest to unite Japan under one rule. Packed with 7 dramatic scenarios - from the 1551 Struggle for Power to the events following Nobunaga's death in 1582, Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power lets players embark on their quest from more than 300 different starting points.
For the first time in the series, military campaigns are carried out using an explosive 3D real-time battle system. Plus a new command lets players go "all in" and risk their entire empire in battle. If victorious, players will expand their empire, but a defeat could mean the total loss of their land.
Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power is more than just a game of military domination. Life in Feudal Japan is brought to life with remarkable detail. In vibrant castle towns the daily lives of characters will unfold while players nurture their village into a flourishing empire. Players will also manage government affairs and develop critical infrastructure such as ninja camps, blacksmiths, and markets. A robust character edit function features a wide variety of character faces, the ability to edit stats, and let's the player choose when and where the characters will appear.
Originally released in Japan as Nobunaga's Ambition: Tenkasousei, Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power marks the return of the series to North America. Nobunaga's Ambition: Rise to Power is developed by KOEI Co., Ltd and produced by Kou Shibusawa, the mastermind behind the legendary Romance of the Three Kingdoms® and P.T.O.™ historical simulation series. The game is rated "T" (Teen - Alcohol Reference, Mild Language, Violence) by the ESRB. Press can find (watermark-free) assets at gamespress.com.

News Release from sakya.altervista
Hi!
I'm here to release LightMP3 Version 1.7.2.
Users reported that it works fine under CF 3.80M33-5
Here's the changelog:
-Added: Sleep mode (press TRIANGLE while playing a track).
-The psp will shutdown after the track or playlist/directory.
@mico: va bene così?
-Added: Option to use the Sony On Screen Keyboard
-Fixed: Files named like "dfgeerr...mp3" weren't recognized as mp3
-Fixed: Freeze on "Opening..." or time stucked at 0 after 20 tracks
-Fixed: Repeat track mode.
-Fixed: Cracking sound when quitting while playing a track.
-Fixed: Some mp3 with "strange" ID3 made the app freeze.
-Fixed: Some mp3 displayed wrong ID3v2 informations.
Some notes:
The conflict with Music PRX is still present (in my tests now I have an exception and LightMP3 crashes).
If you're using Music PRX please disable it before launching LightMP3.
Custom Firmware Extender slows down LightMP3, so if you're using it you'll have to raise CPU clock in LightMP3 (or disable the plugin).

Source: iRShell Un-Official Forums
Stonecut revealed some good news about the future of iRShell. And some bad news too...
Good:
I would like to inform you that there will indeed be another iR Shell release for 3.80 M33 soon ...
Bad:
However, this will be the FINAL release of iR Shell.
This means: After the next release there will NOT be any more releases. Ever. After that Ahman will be retiring from the scene for good. It should be out in a few days if nothing serious happens during beta testing.
No more iR-Shell, huh?

New podcast released:
The PSP Show #65 - Cube (MP3 8.12 mb 11 minutes 47 seconds)
DOWNLOAD the podcast by right clicking on this link or press play and listen in your browser.
The regular slice of news for the week (and Patapon at $20 is a damn good idea, Sony). THe review is another title missed from last year, the interesting puzzle game, Cube. Definitely not mass-appeal, but as an arcade puzzler, it does reasonably well. Listen to the show (or subscribe in iTunes) to find out all my thoughts.

What's New
* changed font drawing algorithm

News/release from RedSquirrel
Quickest Exit by Red Squirrel
http://redsquirrel.pspgen.com
http://redsquirrel.forumitalian. com
What's it?
Quickest Exit is a very simple plugin to activate in GAME.
Its function is to replace the classical HOME menù (the menù that appear when you presses HOME during a game or homebrew) and to enable the quick exit from the game or homebrew.
So, if you enable the plugin, when you will press the HOME button during a game or homebrew, PSP will return to dashboard immediately, with a great time profit.
If you press L+HOME PSP will switch off.
Finally, if you presse R+HOME PSP will go in Standby.
I want to specify that there is NO security check after the pressure of HOME button, so PSP will return to Dashboard even if you press unintentionally the HOME button!
Finally, I want to specify that it is a plugin, so it can NOT damage your console in any way.
Features
v1.0
-HOME menù substitution with the quick exit (when you press HOME, PSP will return to Dashboard immediately!).
-Possibility to switch off and to put in Standby PSP with the combination of L and R with HOME button.
Installation (if no plugin is already installed)
-Copy the SEPLUGINS folder (contained in the package) in the root of your Memory Stick.
Installation (if other plugins are installed)
-Copy the QuickExit.prx in the SEPLUGIN folder of your Memory Stick.
-Open SEPLUGINS/GAME.txt and SEPLUGINS/GAME150.txt and add this line to the files: ms0:/SEPLUGINS/QuickExit.prx
Note: After the installation you have to activate the plugin from Recovery Menù!
Thanks
To users of PSP-Cheats.forumitalian.com and PSPGen.com.
To my girlfriend, the only that believe always in me.

We thought WipEout HD looked decent enough when we posted the first shots of an early preview version, but these new shots show the game has come on in leaps and bounds.
The textures have more... texture, and the lighting has been massively improved by the looks of it.
Hopefully all these improvements won't come at the expense of the luscious 60fps smoothness in the demo we have here.
You can see videos of that in action (and in comparison to our old favourite, WipEout 2097)
in an earlier feature.
We're also hoping the handling has seen as much attention as the visuals, because we thought it was far too tight to be a believable hovering ship. 2097 had the handling spot on - why change it?

Of course, the world's just being polite. Though Konami's official announcement of a PlayStation 2 version of Silent Hill Origins is welcomed, it arrives about as unexpectedly as that surprise birthday party you planned for yourself once. That might have been more enjoyable if you had any friends, but then you're far too busy clobbering jittery, faceless nurses in your free time.
Incidentally, that's exactly what you do in this game. Casting some light on the spooky town's black history, Silent Hill Origins for PS2 aims to impart the "chilling, suspenseful and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered" to those who prefer considerably larger screens. "This is their chance to learn more of the mystery and mythos surrounding Silent Hill that's been hinted at in earlier games and made the series such a success," said Anthony Crouts, VP of marketing and ineffective secret keeping at Konami Digital Entertainment.
We'll share further details as soon as they come shambling out of the foreboding mist.

via SPOnG
Kaz Hirai, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), has raised some interesting questions regarding his company's strategy regarding PS3 backward compatibility and the future of PS2 gaming.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Hirai said, "We want to promote games only available for PlayStation 3. The introduction of the 40-gigabyte model is in line with that strategy".
This stays very much on-message with statements made late last year by Sony Computer Entertainment (UK) managing director Ray Maguire who told SPOnG, "When we launched, we said we would focus on forward production than backwards-compatibility, but there was more of a need for backwards-compatibility six months ago. So, from here on in, there are no plans for backwards-compatibility in PlayStation products."
Before the crashing tedium of fanboy ranting begins elsewhere, let's analyse the statement:
Hirai did not say, "We only want to promote games available for PlayStation 3".
So, don't read this as "We won't promote non-exclusives". It would be insane for Sony not to co-promote non-exclusives such as Assassin's Creed or Smackdown vs Raw, which would help sell hardware.
What this re-statement of intent is more likely to mean is that days of the PlayStation 2 are well and truly numbered.
At this point, we'd like to remind you of Kaz's assertion that, "The introduction of the 40-gigabyte model is in line with that strategy.''
One of the most notable missing features of the 40GB PS3 is its lack of backwards compatibility. Doesn't it appear counter-intuitive to drop backwards compatibility and also pull support from PS2 itself?
Not if Sony plans to shift its focus with regard to PS2 games towards making them available over the PlayStation Network as legacy titles, or 'PlayStation Originals'?
That is, of course, a bit of a stretch - but it remains a possibility nonetheless. A possibility that could be supported by a recently spotted job vacancy for someone to work on PS3 backwards compatibility, in spite of the fact that Sony's most prevalent PS3 model has none.

According to the latest NPD group report, during the month of December Blu-ray players held 60 percent of the HD media player market -- despite the fact that HD DVD players were considerably cheaper. While that might've helped Warner in its decision to go Blu, the move has definitely had a dramatic effect on player sales since. According to the same study the week after the announcement, Blu-ray players were able to grab 93 percent of the market, which puts the year to date (short, we know) share for Blu-ray players at 70 percent. Granted, it's hard to put too much stock in just a week or two of data, but if this and the recent media sales numbers (85 percent) becomes a trend, maybe this won't be such a slow death for HD DVD after all.

New from Divineo China (Who Ship Worldwide)
The fifth entry in the gonzo racing series, Burnout Paradise gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Gone is the need to jump in and out of menus and aimlessly search for fun like many open world games; in Burnout 5, every inch of the world is built to deliver heart-stopping Burnout-style gameplay. Every intersection is a potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack up moving violations. Feel the adrenaline course through your veins as you take to the road for the first time in Paradise City, where the action is all around you. Explore the city, discover events, and look for the best opportunities to crash, jump and pull signature takedowns. In Burnout Paradise yo'’re given the keys to the city, but it's up to you to earn the keys to the meanest and most dangerous cars on the street, and earn your Burnout license.

The previously 360 and PC-only Splinter Cell Conviction is now also set for a simultaneous release on PS3, according major UK retailer GAME.
The site also pens the game to release on all three formats on April 1, despite previous announcements only stating a vague early 2008 release.
As we all know, retailers have a tendency to let slip on things publishers don't always want revealing. Just look at Konami's latest announcement, of which first word came from a very similar posting.
However, Ubisoft UK has told CVG that neither a PS3 version of Conviction, or any proposed release date, have been confirmed by the publisher.
We knew that though, that's why we called. We'll keep the sniffer dogs out on this one...
