It's short notice, but Sony has announced the digital comic store for the PSP will be shutting down on October 30.

There's a brief FAQ following the announcement on Sony's website that explains why the service is closing down:

"We stopped providing new content to the Comic Store last summer to focus on bringing the comic service to other Sony devices. Our focus now is to bring more digital entertainment services to our products."

Whoops, check the date. It goes down in one month, not one day. Small typo, easily fixed!

Tomorrow, October 30?
How did I lose a month of my life?!
Uh,whats that you said?
Borderlands 2?
Yeah that makes sense...
by dietrick gault Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 05:15 PM

probably because they want to invest everything in the vita which is not selling well because its the same price as a ps3!!! i really wish someone at sony would comprehend that...
by Companion Cube Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 05:15 PM

Tomorrow isn't October 30th, Kyle.
by ScruffTheNerfHerder Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 05:16 PM

WOAH! Tomorrow's October 30! I need a Halloween costume ASAP, also I missed my birthday. When does the service actually end, tomorrow or Oct. 30th?
by Warrior Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 05:16 PM

This is sad for people who luv their PSP(s). I'm getting a Vita soon and I'm pretty sure this is where the digital comics is gonna come now.
by Travis Hardy Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 05:17 PM

And Kyle "has no common sense and doesn't care about the stories he posts; and doesn't know how dates work" Hilliard strikes again! Kyle ***, October 30th is in one month, it is NOT tomorrow...
I'm sorry, but this is clearly showing that he doesn't even look over once at the stories he posts. #CARELESS, #DUMB, #WORSTGISTAFFMEMBEREVER, and #NEEDSTOBEFIRED

C'mon Kyle, you're losing it man.

On a related note, I didn't even know psp had a digital comics service...
by new traditionalist Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 05:51 PM

by Jonozilla Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:09 PM

*September 30
by Followdatboid Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:10 PM

Tomorrow October 30th? Man I really hate Daylight Savings time, lose an hour in the Spring and lose a month in the fall. Well, At least Halloween is soon.
by Brian cook Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:13 PM

Tomorrow, October 30th, huh? Great Scott, It Worked! My time machine worked!
by Trafalgar Laws Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:18 PM

I bought quite a few comics there...good times. Too bad my PSP broke, but I guess this makes it easier to deal with this shutting down I guess.

I thought I sent a news tip about this months ago....No worries though.

I almost got scared that I didn't get Assassin's Creed 3 today, but thank the GODS.
by Greg Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:20 PM

*cries* I wasted a month of my life away and have no idea how it happend!
by Gotham's Reckoning Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:31 PM

Maybe the source told him that it was ending "tomorrow, October 30". That would also explain why he said "It's short notice", as it could've been a joke. Or maybe... he just screwed up.
by Deece Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:49 PM

What idiot downloads comic books anyways!
by USPatriot Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 06:51 PM

Tomorrow is September 30th, not October 30th. Someone can't wait for Assassin's Creed III to come out. Haha.
