PSP Digital Comics Service Launches Today

By Dena Cassella December 16, 2009

There is no geekier—or better—combination than video games and comic books. Okay, maybe video games, comic books and pizza, that’s like the king of combos, but it shouldn’t count because throwing pizza into any mix bumps it up a notch or two. In the case of gaming and comics you’ll be glad to hear that Digital Comics, the PSP comic store, is set to go live today at 3pm. The Digital Comics Service is stocked with hundreds of new and classic collections, allowing you to choose from Marvel’s battling superheroes, Disney’s loveable cartoons, and your favorite Star Trek characters from IDW. The comic store also has a bunch of free comics on stock.

In addition, the European PlayStation blog says that the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa stores should become available at 5PM GMT, but unfortunately the store in Ireland is unavailable today due to technical issues. Go to playstationcomics.com to get Digital Comics on your PSP, and check out all the great names in the catalogue for yourself. You can also chat with other gaming and comic book lovers.

How to use an external hard drive on PS5

Two versions of the PS5 side by side.

The PlayStation 5 is a remarkable system, but it doesn't come with much storage space. Breaking from the 1TB the Xbox Series X offers, the PS5 only offers 825GB. Worse, after accounting for the storage space the PS5 takes up by default, users are left with just over 650GB of space. Thankfully, you can use external storage to expand your space, and in this guide, we're going to show you how to use an external hard drive on PS5.
How to use an external HDD or SSD on PS5

Before you can use an external hard drive on PS5, you need to make sure it's compatible. It doesn't matter if your external drive is a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD), you can use it on PS5 as long as it uses USB 3.0 or later. USB 2.0 external hard drives won't work. Because they won't work, you'll need to connect your external hard drive to one of the two USB-A ports on the back of the PS5. The USB-A port on the front is only rated for USB 2.0, so it won't work. Also, plug the drive directly into a console (don't use a USB hub or extension cable).
