Sony to closing down PSP Comics service in September
Sony has announced that its Digital Comics service for PSP is going to be discontinued in September.
The studio confirmed that the platform will receive a final update on March 15 ahead of its closure, Andriasang reports.
Users who wish to help keep their digital comics purchases beyond 2012 are needed to back them up via the MediaGO service. The Comic Reader app will be available to download until the end in the year.
Digital Comics debuted on PSP in late 2009, enabling users to download comics from publishers including DC, Marvel, IDW Publishing, Archie, Tokyopop and BOOM! Studios. The platform amassed a library of much more than 4,000 titles.
Sony went on to say that it is preparing to bring a digital comics service to its other devices within the future, with its PlayStation Vita a most likely recipient.
