Still undecided? Here are some more PSP Digital Comic samplers

by Xav de Matos on Nov 28th 2009 12:45PM

If you're on the fence about Sony's upcoming PSP Digital Comics service, the PlayStation UK blog has a few more sampler comics to decide whether the feature piques your interest. Available for lucky users in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are two sampler comics, featuring the service's highly touted Autoflow feature -- which mimics the way your eyes read a page. Following the release of the PSP's 6.20 firmware, PlayStation released comic samples of Transformers: All Hail Megatron and Aleister Arcane.

Free sample first-issues of Star Trek: Enterprise Experiment and Astro Boy: The Movie Adaptation are available until December 16. In order to grab your sample, make sure to first download the Comic App via the "Extras" section of the XMB (or through this link) for your PSP and use the redemption codes available on PlayStation's UK blog. Then prepare to use your amazing 3D hardware to ... read!

This service is awesome but unfortunately I'm still on my launch 1GB memory stick duo with 300mb left and with the comics at roughly 40Mb each I can't really buy too many.

maybe its time to buy a new one, 8GB sticks are $23 off Amazon or $50 for 16GB

What's that in English moneys?

Canada still getting screwed

In the long run being left out is probably the best thing that can happen to Canada, Go to your local comic shop and buy the actual comics, enjoy them and collect them and in time heck they might even be worth considerably more than you payed for them.

Vs this digital download comic that is convenient probably costs as much as buying the actual comic and will probably have considerable lag time from print release to digital release for some time to come.

I'd still like the freebies for cryin' out loud.

Sony was dickish enough to send me a voucher for a free ep of Vampire Diaries, then refuse to let me use it!

The PSP comics may be coming to Canada next year. This is from the official PSN Comics Twitter account (Psncomics):

I'm afraid that we wont have any codes for Canada until we launch their next year :-(

it's a mix of tech and legal issues. The team obviously want to launch there. We want your money ;-)

The Psncomics Twitter account noted on November 22nd that Canada would be getting the comics service next year. Tech and legal issues were cited as the reason for the delay.

Canada will get it next year. Reported by someone who was giving out the PSN codes.

I don't get how SCEA runs the PlayStation brand in Canada and Canadians are left out of many approved features for the PlayStation systems.

again...bring this service to the PS3 and I'll check it out.

Really?

That's less convenient than actually buying a paperback comic.

ps3 has a couple motion comics. But yes for the most part i agree, ive tried some of the homebrewed comic readers and its so frustrating to read them its not worth it, but on my 37" it would be a different story :)
