After everything loads properly though, the program is really sweet. The software is slick, and easy to use. The autoflow is definitely an excellent feature. Just hit left or right on the D-pad and it'll go to the next panel, or more specifically, the next speech bubble. You can go back and forth very quickly, and get a full page view or move the analog stick to scroll anywhere on the page. Again, it's really fast, making it a painless process.
The fact you can listen to MP3's is awsome. Such a great idea.
I'm not a huge comic reader anymore, but I can definitely see myself buying some comics from time to time because of this. If they add manga then I'll be officially screwed though. Sony did say they are working on securing rights from other companies, so I'm sure we'll all start to see our favorites being represented eventually.
Overall, great stuff. Definitely worth checking out.

Any suggestions???

If your having problems, delete the comic viewer and deactivate videos/comics under your account management. Then, re-download the comics. After that, reinstall the comic software and reactivate the system.
That's what I did, and it worked perfectly after. The comic reader software was updated from 1.00 to 1.01, so maybe the newer version fixed this problem, but I'd do what I wrote above anyways.
Also, there are 4 free comics to get--three codes are in a post below, and the other one is above in Lukes post.
Have fun!

Someone tell me I'm just doing something wrong otherwise I'm going to be rather sad.

Here's what you do:
• Download and install the 6.20 Firmware update. This can be done through the PSP itself or you can download the file off Sony's official website and transfer it to your PSP via USB cable.
• After the firmware is installed go to the Extras menu and select digital comics viewer.
• You will be taken to a website and prompted to download the comic reader software (it's about 2MB). Download the software and you're good to go.
It's pretty straightforward...so if nothing's working maybe contact Sony or the store where you bought your PSP.

Thanks for that, but it's not related to my issue.

So, I'm assuming it only works on the PSP.

Anyways, this seems like a great experiment, per se, though I'm kind of weary of that Star Trek comic....

The actual freebie comic...well, Star Trek isn't exactly great comic material. Let's just leave it at that.

We'll see what comes of it, but at this point if Microsoft wasn't currently in the middle of forging it's new battle plans, they could drop the Pro to 100, drop 20 billion or so and buy EA and end this right now. And Nintendo's expanding marketshare means they are going to remain 1st till the end of this gen.

To clarify - there's no way I'm paying for online play.
11/19/09
Other services? Sure, but not online play. Hell no.

It might be a stupid idea, but Sony has had plenty of stupid ideas that they put to action. It happens less often now than it did 2-3 years ago, but it still happens.

It's different in XBLs case because they have charged since day 1.

There's one thing that every corporation values over its customers: money. They'll try to keep both, but if its between one or the other, the choice is obvious.

You already have a disconnect between people who'll buy a console for one game and those who won't; people who'll buy a TV for one game? Count me out of that one.
I'd rather see 'em integrate the technology into the next generation, especially if they're serious about a ten-year lifecycle. If they aggressively propagate the 3D tech in the next five years or so, you might see a phenomenon similar to HD, where the adoption rate grew geometrically from the start of the generation to the midpoint.
Adding the capability to existing PS3's is really just going to wind up being a "Hey, cool, I guess it can do that...on a couple of games" gimmick, unless you focus on integrating 3D into popular games in the first place - God of War III, maybe MLB The Show, get some major third party support...but even then, it's far from a certain thing.

I can see Gears of War being amazing in 3D!
It really does enhance the experience.
3D is the next big tech in TV's, so in about a year's time, you'll notice lots of new release TV's will all support it.
The next step after that is 3D without the need for glasses (they're working on it!), and probably THEN the next resolution bump.
But yeah it seems this time for sure 3D is going to make a big impact. Next year a stupid amount of movies will all be supporting 3D, and the first 3D channel, Sky 3D, just launched in the UK, so purchasing a 3D TV in the next year may not be such a bad purchase :)

Well, which, again, I'm not saying that having new TVs come out with that tech now is a bad thing.
Just that you're almost better off making it a centerpiece of your console strategy in the next generation. Avatar is no Wii Fit, in that it isn't going to sell oodles and boodles of copies with a contraption that you can then be pretty sure that a significant majority of console owners have access to.
It falls back into the classic peripheral trap with "hey, check out this really cool thing you can do...if you go spend hundreds of dollars! Or thousands!"
And outside of the early adopters/geeks, how many will do that?
