Sony Computer Entertainment Japan announced that they will be postponing the launch of their Skype microphone packs for the PSP. The postponement is apparently due to the official microphones not meeting with standards set by Skype. In turn, the launch of the Skype service itself will also be postponed until a solution is decided.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has delayed the launch of the Skype service for PSP users just 24 hours before it was due to launch.

The company had prepared two first-party microphone packages for launch day, but neither of these has met specifications defined by Skype.

As a result, Sony said it decided to postpone the launch of the service until a solution can be found.

“Solutions to enable users to start using Skype features and services on their PSP are being sought for and will be announced in due course,” said SCEJ.

Sony only confirmed Skype for PSP earlier this month a CES, saying it would be enabled in the latest software upgrade.

The Skype software has over 246 million registered users, and allows for free communication over the internet.
