Skype coming to the PSP - Proof

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, ubergizmo are the first to have caught it.

We know it's coming. They wouldn't be putting it on the site. UK got their provider, US and canada and such will run with Skype. Unless they plan to switch everyone with Skype.

What the hell is Skype?

[Darkiewonder]

A free service that allows you to place internet to internet calls. offers a cheap rate to call online to Land line. they offer a telephone number that is somewhat like a real number which people can call anywhere in the world. [Fees applicable]

i think it is like a phone but free to use. it uses an internet.

ebay is popular in communication using skype.

[eagle21]

I'm interested.

[heyheyhey]

ahh the final piece of the puzzle in making the psp double up as a mobile phone- this should be great

[TheTwelve]

This is really going to be great. I have plenty of international contacts and so I'm quite excited by this news.----12

"Enjoy your favorite TV shows, movies, homemade videos and more on the go with LocationFree TV and TivoToGo." O_O WTH!?

BTW: So will this Skype support be our version of Europe's Go!Messenger?

[kspraydad]

Location Free with TivoToGo already works with PSP.

[ngg12345]

I'm one of the few people who actually use skype so this comes in handy for me.

[Ju]

I want it, too. I hope they'll support the camera, too.

[MaximusPrime]

<< really want PlayTV

[PlayStation360]

I know we in the US don't have many Over-the-air digital channels. BUT I DON'T CARE :( By 2009, all our channels will be digital, so we can atleast have PlayTV to look at the channels we have now :P

Imagine if you wanted to watch the game of your favorite sports team. But you had to take your Misses to a family get together, and you forgot to set you TV to record. You can use your PSP to record the game and watch it later. Or even watch it on your PSP :P

so how we going to use this. your own skype account or a psp skype account ill prefer psp.

aweet cant wait for ces..

[whoelse]

When is Go! Messenger coming and why only one frame where no normal person will spot it?

Also i hope Skype is world wide. No point in having BT only in the UK!

[Ju]

Skype works globally. We just had a nice video chat recently between the US and Europe from home.

[Amp]

Im in America learning Romanian using Skype from my Romanian teacher- classroom on my PSP!! BTW, ALL FANBOYS=Zevzeci, lol

[whoelse]

Yeah i know i have skype myself but Sony and BT are supposed to have made an agreement about a VOIP service with Go! Messenger on the PSP.

[Rice]

Too sick.

[Sarick]

This would in essence make the PSP a portable phone at any location with an internet hot spot.

From experience skype is extremely good voip quality.
