Digital Comics Reader Now Available for PSP – Get a Free Issue!

+ Posted by Grace Chen // Director, PlayStation Store

Hi Everyone –

Digital Comics Reader for PSP

As you’ve already heard from Eric Lempel, the latest PSP firmware update v6.20 added the Digital Comics Reader to the XMB on the PSP. The PlayStation Network comic service on PlayStation Store will be coming in December (U.S. Only). In the meantime, you can get your hands on a free issue of Star Trek: Year Four – The Enterprise Experiment from our partners at IDW Publishing. Once you download the free Digital Reader, visit PlayStation Store on the PSP and enter the following promotion code:

724K-A4BG-JLD7

This code is only valid until December 16, 2009. The code must be redeemed directly on the PSP (not through PS3 or Media Go).

You should also check out www.playstationcomics.com for more information and to find a code for another free digital comic. (Hint: For those of you following PlayStation on Twitter, you might want to check there, too.)

Stay tuned for more details about the PlayStation Network digital comic service for the PSP.

Yep… so I tried to boot into the Comic viewer thing with the newest psp update… and it tells me to select my country… being in Canada… Im left out again it seems? Canada wasn’t listed and when I clicked the “my country isnt listed” i was greeted with “its not available in your country”…. arg. Can I just select US and have it work?

NO Video store, now this, Canada is taking in the rear again! Someone fire the CRTC and let us have the cool stuff.

Why not in canada?

also, @14 & @54: elitism or racism? I don’t know which I should despise you for…

I’ll go for both.

If only they’d knew how many actors and writers are canadian… so is Jade Raymond.

Unless you put this on the PS3, I won’t be able to use this service. I have an older laptop and computer and it is unable to install the PSP media Go for the PS3 Store Front….I have spent many weeks working on the problem, but not resolve!
So please put comics on the PS3 store and I will be happy to spend my hard earned money on this..otherwise…I will sadly not use!

Tee hee, I’m enjoying my free comics! SCEA, you rock. If I could, I’d marry you. Then I’d get even more free stuff ;D

bring translated up to date manga then i’ll consider buying a psp or bring to the ps3. If you can bring japanese latest manga translated i’ll buy it in a heart beat. It has to be the latest from japan, I hate reading manga online but if you can get translated bring to the store i’ll buy it.

Thank you.

+ Venom1976 on November 21st, 2009 at 10:51 pm said:

@49 if you want to try to download it again you have to go to your transaction management from the XMB of the PSP and look at your download list from there NOT the PSN store and you should see the download and you can try again.


121

+ Venom1976 on November 21st, 2009 at 11:03 pm said:

okay though all 3 comics download to 99% then say the download failed. Can something be done about this? please?

I tried this code 724K-A4BG-JLD7 and it came back saying – The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid.

Not impressed….I really wanted to try this. This is not invoking confidence….

One for PS3 one day I hope! =D

+ DiscoJer on November 22nd, 2009 at 12:51 am said:

Hmmmm, I try entering the code (724K-A4BG-JLD7) and I get a message saying “This content cannot be accessed on your account.”

I’m in St. Louis, which last time I checked, was in the US.

and 724K-A4BG-JLD7
these are all of the comics you can get so far, 1 is Astro Boy, another, is some Horror comic, Transformers: The Rise of Megatron, and Star Trek.


126

+ mogar5 on November 22nd, 2009 at 4:32 am said:

Also I forgot to ask, if I’m done with a comic, and I don’t want it anymore, is there a way to delete comics?

+ CysCo424 on November 22nd, 2009 at 3:18 pm said:

Maybe the reason why the error code keeps on popping up on you guys is because you might have cookies and/or caches turned off because at first mine didnt work but then i did that and it worked


133

+ sombaki on November 22nd, 2009 at 3:35 pm said:

The only one that didn’t work for me was the Transformers comic. It tells me the code is no longer valid.


134

+ jeep_2003 on November 22nd, 2009 at 5:05 pm said:

You guys have to come up with a new filmware
update or something to resolve the comics failing problem!!!

Just tried out the viewer and downloaded the 4 free comics. The viewer is pretty slick. Definitely looking forward to finally reading the Civil War arc come December.

Any word on the date that the comic store will actually launch? I’m assuming it will be Dec. 17th, as the free comic offer expires the 16th.

Pretty neat. Hope it’s not overpriced like print comics.

@everyone who got the free comics:

Want to share the files? Please?
Those of us in Canada are obviously not getting them. Is it possible to get the files from an upload or something?

That’s a cool gift. Star Trek is a good start I guess! :p

Sony/Playstation is really gay and is frustrating me. Everything new never comes out in Canada. Do you Japanese have beef with Canada? Your new mercendise comes out in South Africa for christs sake, BUT NOT CANADA! Do you guys have a problem with Canadians or do you want us all to slowly move to XBOX?


145

+ deadpool7 on December 3rd, 2009 at 11:37 am said:

All I know is I’m looking forward to finally reading Civil War and catching up on my Avengers. I haven’t had the time, money, or space to keep up with comic collecting over the past few years, so this gives me a great opportunity to do just that.

I’d like to thank Sony and give them credit for a great idea. Just a couple more weeks to go. Thanks!

Comics are great I guess but how about adding some NEW CURRENT games that we can purchase and download>

Not all of your customers are teenagers!

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER YOU CAN PLAY MUSIC ON YOUR PSP WHILE YOUR READING THE COMIC .NOW IF ONLY I COULD LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE I’M PLAYING MY GAME ON MY PSP.

I can’t beleive this isn’t available for Canada! WHY NOT?!?!!!

The worst part is I’m not even living in Canada anymore, I just don’t feel I should have to trade in my psp I bought in Canada for one in England…..it’s a portable system, why is it failing to be portable yet again????
(like umd’s being country coded)
