Looking at how they it handles on the PSP I have to say that it's not very appealing to read a comic in this format. Just like Ryan said there are other devices like the iPad or the iPhone which will probably be more attractive.

I think its neat, and good for portability and you wouldnt have to worry about damaging the book itself.  But I would never give up the paper version.  I am a collector and you actually get to really appreciate the art and the story so much more.  I am old school and would never go digital exclusively.  It takes away from the magic of the actual book and the collecting.

Can't I view DC's digital comics on my pc? All I see are apps for iphone, ipad, ipod touch, and PSP.

It's unfortunate that you can't do it for the PS3 as stated in the video. Cool to see that IDW also has an though.

One thing I am curious about since you fast forwarded through the downloading. About how long on average would it take to download a comic?

Restricted Access comic? Did Ryan download a a Hard Core porn comic, or is it the comic version of Deadly Premonitions(see Giant Bomb's Endurance Run)?

I don't think reading comics on your psp will replace reading a hard or soft book but i think if you are a gamer/comic reader and you travel quite a bit i think it is cool to have a few comics on there just to have a nice collection to read without carries a big device or a pack of books around.

if you buy a comic by dc for you psp you can read it other paces as long as you have a comixology account. If dc said as long as you have a account you can read their comics on a i-pad i-phone or psp or computer through the web browser

I thought it was 52 titles for Marvel... not individual issues...
 
I have a PSP but I don't use it much for Digital Comics... I don't even use it for games as much.. for me it's a big MP3 player...
So I agree with Ryan, I might read A comic but not regularly.

I'm totally about to get this on mmy ps3.

It's just the beginning. The format will improve, and newer comics will be more adaptable to the digital form. Then, eventually, the digital option will be the ONLY option.! MUUwaAAAAAHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

The PSP reader has got me back into comics. I feel that this video wasn't well researched though couple statements seemed a little off like how many comics are in the store and other things.

I haven't connected to my internet on my PSP since restoring default settings.   Now I will do it.

I keeping buying comics from the store but I don't get Ryan Davis to flip through them for me. Unacceptable.
