Press Release (machine translation)

Pretty much all there is to it at the moment.

There's also been solid evidence of SCEE working on such a service.

Downloadable comics? Sweet I wonder which ones.

AranhaHunter · 07-08-2009, 07:26 AM

I believe there was a survey from SCEA suggesting the same thing, I wonder if this is part of the reason why the GO was delayed a month in JP.

Also, it's interesting to note that it's only accessible on the PSP...

EDIT:

Here's an English article on it.

I think it's a pre-cursor to adding a bookstore as well. I know the Reader is getting a bookstore overhaul as well.

Yay. More great product placement that the US won't be seeing unless they can read Japanese and create a separate account for the d/ls.... If only we would get HALF of the awesome thing the Japanese get. Cell phones that play awesome games, PSPs that play awesome old-school games, PSPs that let you read comics... what will they come out with next that just makes people in the EU and USA go sit in a corner and cry?

If you ignore the hints already posted.

AranhaHunter · 07-08-2009, 06:23 PM

I think the US (and maybe even EU) ones might be announced at comic-con, that would be good timing.

Shin-Ra · 07-08-2009, 06:31 PM

With Uncharted and Ratchet comics.

edit: and of course inFAMOUS. One can wish.
