Skype Now Available on PSP via Software Update

January 30, 2008 by Sara Leave a Comment

Sony today released PSP (PlayStation Portable) software update 3.90, the biggest feature of which is enabling PSP-2000 owners to use Skype. Skype lets consumers make free calls over the Internet to anyone else using Skype, wherever they’re located worldwide, as well as call and receive calls from any landline or mobile phone for a small fee.

This new ability for PSP owners to use Skype connects the PSP-2000 user base with the more than 276 million registered Skype users around the world. Here’s how it works:

  • Download and install the 3.90 firmware upgrade to the PSP-2000.
  • Connect the PSP to the Internet at a Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Attach a PSP Headset and the Remote Control from the PSP-2000 Headphones, and insert a Memory Stick Duo to save the Skype software.
  • Access the Skype/Sign In icon within the Network category of the XMB menu. First-time Skype users need to create a free account, while existing Skype users can simply enter their username/password.
  • To make a call, either access the Contacts icon and click on a name or scroll to the Dial icon.

    To communicate with non-Skype numbers, PSP owners can purchase Skype Credit to make SkypeOut calls to landline and mobile numbers around the world. Skype Credit can be bought at Skype’s homepage.

    PSP owners can also purchase a personal online number to receive calls wherever they are in the world with a subscription to SkypeIn. These subscriptions cost $60.00/year or $18.00/three months.
