PSP Comics...

[Brad]

Every once in a while Sony do something right. This comic system if rather wonderfully executed! I'm gonna end up spending a fortune on this stuff.

You can play music whilst you view the comic. It zooms in and out the the correct panels in the correct order and even shook one of the panels around to simulate an explosion!

EDIT: Apparently works on US, US NZ australia IE and Sa stores. I did it on the UK store though.

Cool, thanks!

[Brad]

Should be another later today

I couldn't get it to work on the US store but it turned out there is just a different code. For anyone not on the EU store, the code for the US one is EC2N-9HBR-HJD6.

Edit: Well I got that Megatron comic and it works really well. It's flows nicely and is easy to read. Could be a very nice feature.

Second comic (UK code):

ANTL-MGBH-BN2H

[Dogg Thang]

Excellent! Code for USers - 63N8-R2BF-9E4D

It is divided up by region seemingly, even within different European territories so if anyone is looking for codes in other places like Ireland, here is their twitter thingy where they are posting codes - http://twitter.com/Psncomics

Star Trek: Year Four – The Enterprise Experiment (724K-A4BG-JLD7)
Astro Boy: Movie Adaptation #1 (FF3N-H7B6-M2JF)

It seems that these need to be redeemed via a PSP rather than a PS3 or MediaGo.

[Brad]

Neither of those codes work john. Where did you get them from?

Edit: ok, they're us codes.

[Family Fry]

They work on US PSN PSP account.
Nice books generally BUT you have to switch your licence, bloody annoying.
Think I will tie my comics to just one account, this is a great wee idea may get me back into reading comics.

The Store went live today at 5pm , some other free comics on there plus loads of classics and stuff The Amazing Spider-man issue 1 - £1.19 , others from £0.79 looks pretty sweet so far.

Also there is a free section so you dont need codes

I downloaded some of the free comics from my US account (directly onto Japanese PSP).

Then I launched the comic reader, which went to the japanese website and installed. When I run it, it just shows two incompatible files and refuses to play them. The PSP is activated under the US account by the way.

I guess this thing isn't multi-region, so the question is how do I install the US comic reader?

[Darwock]

You then need to download the Comic book application (available from here)

This link takes me to a dead end page, there is nothing to download on that site - can anyone help?

[Brad]

Really? It takes me to a page where you can download the reader. Great big massive red button with "Download the FREE reader" written on it.

[Darwock]

Nope, must be IP address blocking or something. I went there by PSP directly and got the same thing. Just a bitof blurb about Marvel and telling me to check out playstationcomics.com (which takes me to the exact same page)

Can you tell me the http link on that button? Maybe I can whack it in directly?
