Sony is musing over the idea of bring the PSP comic store to the PS3 and/or Sony laptops, according to reports.

Sony has reportedly sent out a survey asking recipients how interested they'd be in using a "comics, graphic novel or Manga" service on PS3, laptops or netbooks.

Sony's Digital Comics store for PSP was revealed last year and launched on the handheld in December, allowing gamers to buy and read thousands of comics on the small screen. New comics are to the fast-growing selection on a weekly basis.

Sony has already ported PSP Minis to the PS3, so it comes as no surprise that the platform holder would consider sharing another of the handheld's features with its bigger brother.

But would you bother with comics on your TV? We'd prefer the PSP, to be honest, because we tend to read on the go. At home there are far too many games to be played to think about such primitive activities as reading.

Hmm, would it be possible to get the resolution right for this sort of thing (and with every panel)?

Also, not sure I'd wanna spend an hour or so taking in the plot intricacies and details of a comic on a big bright screen :?

They're just graphics at the end of the day. The PS3 has more than enough horsepower to scale graphics to any resolution in real time.

Never seen a comic it took me an hour to read :).

I guess I mean would it be done right re. the graphics.

I'm one of those people who has a good look at the imagery as I'm going along - more so these days as the UK monthly comics cost £3, and you feel a bit cheated if it's been a weak storyline and it hasn't taken long to read it :(
