Is the PSP Getting a Gigantic Collection of Comics?


This is a video of a rumor that's been floating around saying that the PSP will be getting a gigantic collection of comic books. Looks very cool. Although, I would much rather prefer a iPhone app that would do EXACTLY the same thing, except on the iPhone. Nope, instead, we have the Kindle. Now I'm not saying that being able to read books on the phone isn't cool, I'm just saying that comic books would be a whole lot better.

Here are the prices from the Playstation Network Survey:

The comic prices ranged from .99 cents to $2.99 per issue with up to 30 percent price breaks if you buy a dozen. Graphic novels ranged from $4.99 to $19.99 and mange was $4.99 to $14.99. The monthly access plans ranged from about $7 to $15.
