The next Xbox will release within 18 months from now, so says Microsoft.

The listing, which can be viewed here, not only mentions next-gen technology, but it also eludes to…

Skype will be available for PlayStation Vita tomorrow via a free app download from the PlayStation Network.

It looks like Skype is coming to PlayStation Vita and should be available before the month is out.

Microsoft has announced that they have acquired VOIP chat service Skype for $8.5 billion.

Skype on Playstation 3? Yes Please!

Speaking to Kotaku, Michael Ephraim, Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, was asked by if the Skype would ever make the transition to Playstation 3. Ephraim didn’t exactly confirm the service would ever appear but thinks it could be possible.

“Our global development teams certainly take into account the relative desirability of the feature set, so consumer needs and technology innovation really drive the product development process” remarked Ephraim.

Skype would be possible you would think via a firmware upgrade.

“It’s impossible to look into the future but I would guess, like everything, it’s a possibility particularly with PS3 system software upgrade ability.”

Make it so Sony……..
