Sony is shutting down its PSP Comic Store as of Oct. 30. After that, readers will no longer be able to purchase new comics from the store, although they will be able to download at least some previously purchased comics until January 2013. After that, the whole thing is just gone. Sony pulled something similar in Japan, but its new PS Vita store includes a manga service. The PSP doesn\u2019t seem to have been a very popular medium for reading comics in the United States, but it\u2019s too bad that those who did take a chance on it have no way to permanently preserve their comics in a way that isn\u2019t dependent on an aging piece of hardware<\/p>\n
