It isn't out yet; it is supposed to be released by the end of January and since that is fast approaching, I am beginning to wonder if they will make the deadline.

Chances are, this will come as a firmware update, meaning that us Fat owners (who don't run CFW) will still have the Skype icon, but will be unable to use it. Chances are, however, that Sony won't change the mic; while they probably want people to buy the Skype headset they are releasing, that would be very bad business considering many people may already have a headset for Socom or Killzone Liberation.

I hope thats the case anyway, because that would really suck. The PSP Fat owners cannot use Skype, probably because the Fat has less memory than the Slim, but to make the mic incompatible with Fat PSPs would make it that much harder for us to get Skype working through CFW.

The only thing that makes Skype desirable for me is that for 3 dollars a month I can make calls to anyone in the US on Landlines and Cell phones. If my Cell battery dies when I am out somewhere and I have a PSP, I have that as a backup.

As well, I'd rather pay 3 bucks a month for Skype than 80 for my cell phone.

Thats really what makes it worth it for me, and I live in an area with good Cell and Wi-Fi coverage, so it would be a nice "fall-back option".
