Again and again, over the past few months, we heard the PSP labeled as dying and, in some cases, already dead. Of course, Sony kept saying, "No it's not. Just wait until 2009!", but hey, we hardened gamers can recognize a line when we see one, right? Turns out it wasn't just a line. Now the future of our beloved handheld seems pretty bright thanks to the announcement of a whole slew of big PSP titles that are all supposed to come out this year.

Well, folks, we've finally found an official English press release for PSP Firmware 3.90, and it's for Europe this time. In addition to the announcement of Skype for the PSP, they also mentioned one little addition in the firmware update that should be of interest to people who can't use Skype: the Go!Messenger icon.

Yep. Not the actual application, mind you. The ICON. More on this after the jump!
