so this suggests the issue with skype on the psps phat was to do with the increased memory (and/or thier lack of insentive to optimize it).

If that's true, that's pretty lame. Seems SONY is trying to recycle stuff. They are repackaging the "STAMINA" battery for the older PSP and including a new battery cover for the slim. And if this headset is also just the same but packaged differently, that's a let down.

It isn't the most attractive looking headset. I'd be using Skype out in public a lot while connected to various hotspots. I don't want to look like some sort of tech geek weirdo with big things hanging off my hears.

This kinda makes me wish the PSP Slim had built-in Bluetooth.

Socom Headset + Remote Control = "Brand New" Skype Headset!

You probably don't want them to spend more money developing a new headset as that would make final product even more expensive.

Yeah, same thing, except in Aus, you had to buy a copy of Socom to get it.
If they're sold seperate over here that will be good.
I might get another one.

you do know, they have been working on wireless head phones for psp for some time...

now that skype is coming out... 3rd parties will be making wireles headsets.

i too have the socom headset, i just never really used it ( only worked for socom i think )

cant wait till this comes out :)

Thanks for Everything,
PSPdemon

edit: on that note.... skype being one of the things i wanted.... but what im more interested in is 2 predicitions for the psp. 1 of them being more video support ( for formats like divx and mpeg-2 ) and the 2nd being widget support ( do i have to go into what can be done with widget suppot :D )..

i really hope those 2 predictions come ture..... thats really all we need now for psp imo :p

Why don't they just make a little mini-usb bluetooth dongle for the psp? Then you could use your cellphone headset on your psp.
*still very disappointed that I won't be able to have Skype on my fat PSP*
