Skype for the PSP? It’s already been hinted at several months ago in the decrypted version of the PSP firmware 3.10, and was thought to be forgotten. But this time, it’s finally official: we’re going to get Skype for the PSP, according to Sony‘s CES 2008 webpage. More details in the full article!

Indeed, the New Year is starting off with a bang for handheld gaming. The DS is finally getting its downloadable content feature, and now the Sony CES 2008 website states that the PSP will finally have Skype.

Here’s what the website has to say about the PSP and the upcoming Skype integration: “Call friends, talk trash to fellow gamers or catch up with acquaintances via Skype for PSP system.“
