Sony Japan confirms Skype for PSP this month

Plus new hardware and limited edition Bronze handheld

Sony has announced that Japanese PSP users will be able to use Skype services from March 18.

The software will be included in the next system update scheduled for this month, with Sony releasing official microphones to coincide with the communications service.

Skype was originally due for Japanese release in January, but was delayed as Sony hardware failed to meet Skype specification.

Sony Japan has also unveiled a new limited edition PSP bundle for the local market. The PSP Matte Bronze Value Pack will go on sale April 24, priced JPY 23,800, and will come with the handheld, a pouch, hand strap, cloth, 32MB Memory Stick Duo and D Terminal AV cable.

In addition, SCEJ will also release an official PSP Cradle & D Terminal AV Cable for the PSP Slim & Lite, also due for release April 24.
