Sony Computer Entertainment has released a press release from Tokyo earlier today, announcing the arrival of a digital comics service for the PSP. Starting on December 2009, the service will be made accessible to Japan via the PlayStation Store.

From the new "Comics" category on the PS Store, you can download titles from leading publishers like Enterbrain, Bandai Visual, Fujimi Shobo, ASCII Media Works, Square Enix and more. No worries too about whether or not it'll be compatible with whatever PSP model you might have, because it's compatible with all, even the PSP Go.

Some notes to remember if you'll be availing of this service:

1. Users can download digital comic content from PlayStation Store by directly accessing from PSP or by using Media Go application for PC. The content cannot be downloaded to PlayStation 3
2. Company names in alphabetical order
3. Users will need to update their PSP to the latest system software and download the digital comic viewer to their PSP to enjoy the content.

So I am guessing that you would have to update to 6.00 OFW to download comics. That's a shame.

I meant to say that it is a shame because if CFW user's want to get comics then they will be forced to update since their isn't a 6.00 CFW. I hope that an update isn't necessary to play online games, though.

Let's just hope the comics store isn't IP-blocked like the video stores.
