We actually got something before Japan. Im gonna give you a minute to catch your breath and close your jaw. Ready? Ok. On March 19th Skype is coming to Japanese PSPs (slim) via free software update. Two new mics will go on sale in Japan on March 19th, one for ¥2,500 (US $24) and ¥4,000 ($39). Now why did we get it first (even Europe)…yes its ok to keep reading, its not the end of the world..yet. But apparently, the Mics did not meet Skype Specs.
