Skype for Sony PlayStation® Vita
Just launched last month, the Skype voice and video calling app for PlayStation®Vita is available through PlayStation®Store, allowing gamers around the globe to keep in touch while on the go. The Skype app, available on both the 3G/Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi models, includes free Skype-to-Skype voice calling and high quality video calling that utilizes PS Vita’s front and rear cameras. Even more, it runs in “background mode” while you’re gaming or using other applications — meaning you have the capability to “pause” a game, conduct a call and then return to your previous activity — so you never miss a call. Plus, with a little Skype credit you can make low-cost calls to landlines and mobile directly from your PS Vita.
Prices: PlayStation® Vita (Wi-Fi model) $239.99
PlayStation® Vita (3G/Wi-Fi Model) $286.62
Skype app is free in the PlayStation®Store.
