So their you are, sitting in the bathroom/airport/funeral and you say to yourself " Iwish i had a device that would let me read comics digitally, saving me time, money, and space". Well Sony has your answer by merging the two most popular things geeks love, portable gaming and Comic-Books.Yes as we are all aware Sony had released this Digital Comic reader all the way back in November, promising dreams of comic reading bliss on your Sony PSP, along with a promo code for a free star trek comic book. At the time of launch it seemed to be a pretty good idea, but comic book fans across the world had to wait until December to actually get to enjoy the Playstation Network Service.
Right on schedule the Playstation Network has released a library of comics available for download (list to follow) for all you comic book fans ready to start your digital collection. Unfortunately their are no plans for the program to hit the PS3 at this time (which hopefully Sony sees the flaw in not releasing it for both). It doesn't make much sense, because if i had the hard drive space of my PS3 to collect comics on, my digital collection would be given it's own booth at the San Diego Comic-convention. Also this new program comes with a built-in music player so you can jam out while reading and completely block out the world around you.
