Sony Confirms Skype on PSVita

Since Microsoft bought Skype a few months ago, people were wondering (myself included) that there was a possibility the communication service would not be available on Sony’s new handheld, the Playstation Vita, like it’s predecessor the PSP had. This was especially sad considering the great front and back cameras the PSVita sports would be great for video chat. It seems though that there is a possibility of the service coming to the handheld now because in a presentation for Brazilian gamers, Sony showed the Skype logo right up there beside the Vita. (the top right hand corner of the picture to the right).

If you’re a PSone Classics fan, you would be amiss if you don’t play these games on your PSP. Sony this past week took the veil of mystery off their new portable handheld console, the PSVita. Not only is it going to be a brand new console with amazing graphics and new tech, it will run all your PSone Classics and PSP games right out of the box with your same PSN handle, and up rez the PSP games, and map camera controls to the second analog nub. If you ever had any ideas about buying the PSPgo, you must be glad that you saved that 250, because amazingly enough this new powerful system is the same price.

PS2 Games on NGP! (Says Kojima)

In Konami’s E3 pre-show he describes a new concept he coined called “Transfarring”. This will work with the new HD remake collection for Metal Gear, with MGS 2, 3, and Peacewalker being remade in HD, and then released this year. He says that Transfarring right now is between PSP and PS3, so you can transfer your save game from the PS3 version to the PSP version in about 10 seconds. He said that this is the first phase of the Transfarring project.
