PSP Firmware hits 3.90 – If you’ve got the slim (or 2000) you can now Skype with it

Talk about it in our Forums

sony-psp-2000-slim.jpg

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced the immediate availability of the latest system software update for PSP™(PlayStation®Portable). Version 3.90 will enable all owners of the new PSP Slim & Lite*(PSP 2000 series) to make and receive phone calls, adding a whole new raft of functionality, highlighting the true portability of PSP.

Skype™ is a simple to use piece of software that allows users to make free calls over the internet to other Skype users, anywhere in the world, whilst also having the ability to make paid for calls to traditional landline and mobile phones. With the addition of these functions, alongside the ability to send and receive voicemail to over 200 million Skype users worldwide, PSP can now claim to be a highly cost effective and accessible portable communications device, alongside its entertainment credentials.

To use Skype on PSP, users simply need to upgrade to system software 3.90, register and talk, using a headset and remote control.

Also added through system software update 3.90, is the Go!Messenger icon, highlighting the commitment shown towards communications on PSP**. Go!Messenger, with the ability for video and voice chat, as well as numerous other features will be available at the end of February, and the presence of the icon not only emphasises its impending arrival but also allows users to obtain more information about the feature from a dedicated website, accessed via clicking on the icon. More information about the release of Go!Messenger will be announced soon.

*The Skype functionality is only available for the PSP Slim & Lite (PSP 2000 series) and not older versions of PSP (PSP 1000 series)

** Go! Messenger functionality will be available with all models of PSP (PSP 2000 and PSP 1000 series)

  11. Free xBox live Says:

    Skype on the PSP? That’s pretty cool. Although I still think since eBay took over, it’s not as good service as it used to be, although that may be coincidence.

    Having said that, I know very few people that use Skype so it won’t be of much use to me – but still good to have there as a backup for the old landline phone.

    Skype on PSP – is really cool. The only thing I did not understand – what wireless protocol used in the device to connect to the Internet?

  37. Toy army men Says:

    Having said that, I know very few people that use Skype so it won’t be of much use to me – but still good to have there as a backup for the old landline phone. Good quality content is important but it’s not everything. I’ve seen blogs with bad content, yet they still manage to rank on top for several keywords. Sure, they will certainly bore the reader with bad content.
