No more content will be added after March 15th



Sony appears to be removing all their services which seem to be not much profitable. The time has come now to the Comic service of PSP.

Yesterday we informed you about the server closing of Metal Gear Online game and today Sony reveals their plans to shut down Digital Comics service for Playstation Portable too.

There will be no more content added to the service after March 15th and with a September date to completely abandon the system.

According to Adriasang:

Sony announced today that it will end PSP's comic download service at the end of September. The "comic" tab will no longer be accessible from the PlayStation Store interface after that time.

Ahead of the September closure, Sony will stop adding new content to the service on March 15.

Those who purchased comic content from PlayStation Store will be able to continue redownloading their content through the end of this year. Sony will also keep the Comic Reader app available for download through the end of the year.

For those who'd like to back up their comic content, Sony suggests using the Media Go program.

Buying digital comics through PlayStation Store.

Sony says that it is currently looking into offering comic and other digital book content through other Sony and PlayStation brand product.

I never saw the point behind digital comics on such a small screen. especially since the library available is old.

Trimming useless crap like this is a step in the right direction for Sony, it dilutes the brand and costs money that Sony can't afford to spend right now.
