Sony has released firmware update 3.90 for the Sony PSP. PSP update 3.90's main feature is the previously announced Skype functionality. To get the update, for those of you new to the Sony PSP, make sure you're connected to a WiFi network, go to "Settings" and select "Network Update."
The update adds the following:
- Support for PLAYSTATION Network titles has been expanded.
- Skype has been added as a feature under Network. (For PSP-2000 series. The original PSP-1000 is not compatible.)
The Sony Playstation Blog has posted the following instructions (and video below) to help you get started with Skype on the PSP:
- Download and install the 3.90 firmware upgrade to the PSP-2000 system.
- Connect the PSP to the Internet at a Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Attach a PSP Headset and the Remote Control from the PSP-2000 Headphones to the system, and insert a Memory Stick Duo to save the Skype application software.
- Access the Skype/Sign In icon within the Network category of the XMB menu. If you’ve never used Skype on your PC, you can create a free account directly on your PSP. If you already have a Skype account, you can simply enter your username/password.
- To make a call, either access the Contacts icon and click on a name or scroll to the Dial icon and use the keypad.
See the pricing of Skype Credits here. You'll also need the PSP Headset ($15.99) and the PSP 2000 Headphones w/Remote Control ($24.99). A Skype bundle is expected to be available at a later date, which has not been announced.
