Sony has confirmed that it will close down its PSP Digital Comics service at the end of October, so users should consider buying the comics or re-downloading their comics until then.

The old PlayStation Portable was supported in a variety of ways by Sony and one of the most intriguing service was the Digital Comics one, from where owners of the device could download various comic books.

Now, unfortunately, it seems that the service will go offline in the following months.

On October 30, users will no longer be able to purchase new comics and in mid-January 2013, the servers with the actual comics will go offline, so existing users should re-download their comics until then.

Sony is recommending its own Media Go application to those who don’t have enough space on their console for all their purchased comics.

As of yet, it’s unclear if this move signals a transfer of the service from the old PSP to the new PS Vita.
