Sony’s Digital Comics service for their PlayStation Portable handheld console has included a new publisher to it’s line up in the form of the almighty DC Comics and to celebrate the union there are a number of free comics on offer from the service for users to pick up.

There will be over 80 initial titles available to dowload including Batman: Hush, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Fables: Legends in Exiles and Planetary: All Over the World and Other Stories. There will also be exclusive Superman, Batman, Resistance, Free Realms and God of War content and of course, some of which is also PlayStation based gaming content in the first place which is great news for gaming fans.

The free titles on offer are Mirror’s Edge #0, Fringe #0, Resistance #0, Bayou #1 and a 10 page preview of Superman #700.

After seeing E3 2010 come and go without a hint of a PSP2 on show from Sony, chief Operating Officer for Capcom in Europe David Reeves has told gamesindustry.biz, quite wisely, that he feels that Sony simply have to release a new PSP in order to keep up with Nintendo in the handheld market. As he is the former European Sony Computer Entertainment boss, he may just know what he is talking about too.

He also made reference to the PSPgo which unfortunately was a bit of a flop for Sony, despite recently offering customers 10 free games to download to the system. The PSPgo is perhaps successful enough for Sony but  not as, in Mr Reeves words, “shit hot” as Nintendo’s forays in handheld gaming whom he states “always get these things right”.

The largest gaming conference in the United States -E3, is almost here and Sony sure has big plans. The video game industry is looking forward to a new gaming console and it looks like Sony is planning to give them one.

Sony have confirmed that they will unveil new hardware at E3. It remains to be seen if they are simply unveiling the PlayStation Move or presenting the more awaited PSP 2 or the PS4.

Apart from games, Sony will also showcase their latest technology like full-body motion capture. Apart from this, they will also showcase new motion-control inputs and 3-D systems at the video game expo.

Sony is also expected to show more titles that will play in 3D on the PlayStation 3 console.

“This is good for the industry because it gives consumers new ways to play on the boxes they have in the living room,” said Frank Gibeau, president of the EA Games label.

With Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo drawing big plans for E3, we can surely expect a few cool launches.
