PSP Digital Comics Service Launches Today

By Dena Cassella Published 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.

The Sony Official INZONE H3 gaming headphones are cheap today — only $48

Sony INZONE H3 gaming headphones wired for Prime Big Deal Days

As far as Prime Big Deal Days discounts go, this next one on Sony's Official INZONE H3 gaming headphones is pretty shocking. Why? It's 52% off which is a huge discount anyway, but Sony's gear rarely goes on sale. If you want immersive gaming via a wired connection, spatial surround, low-latency audio, and a snug fit, these headphones are right for you. Normally $100, they're on sale today for just $48. It's only a limited-time deal, though, which means it could go away at any time. Don't wait.

Why shop this Sony INZONE H3 gaming headphones deal for Prime Big Deal Days?
We've covered Sony's INZONE gaming headsets before, as well as the Sony INZONE gaming earbuds and one thing we've certainly taken away from these products is they are standouts in their class. You get to experience immersive 360-degree spatial sound while playing. You benefit from crystal-clear communication thanks to the headset with a flip-to-mute mic. Plus, there's virtually no latency, if at all, thanks to the 3.5mm wired connection.

I took the PS5 Pro for a first test drive. Now I’m a believer

A PS5 Pro that's floating in front of a gray background. It's turned to the side.

At Tokyo Game Show 2024, hundreds of thousands of people gathered to get their eyes and hands on the latest and greatest in interactive entertainment. Digital Trends was there checking out the hottest titles, including Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Dynasty Warriors: Origins, and The First Berzerker: Khazan (starring industry darling and class clown Ben Starr).

The largest presence at the event may have been Sony, and it was at its booth that I went hands-on with its newest hardware, the PlayStation 5 Pro, for the first time. I put the console through its paces and came away intrigued after seeing the stellar image quality and smooth action for myself. While it may be pricey, this upgrade may be what finally unlocks the graphical promises of this generation.
