Who comes out on top in this week's DLC round-up?

The console war is fought everywhere these days, but the internet seems to be where people are most vocal. It also serves to give each console its own set of downloadable content, fuelling the war even more. Each week we'll give you a run-down of what's available to download on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, and declare a winner.

Note: This round-up is based on UK releases to each console's online service. Releases outside of the UK could vary.

PlayStation 3 - PSN

After months of being disappointed by the European PlayStation Store it's great to be able to report on a strong week of content. Insomniac's mini Ratchet & Clank adventure Quest for Booty headlines the PSN line-up, offering 3-4 hours of next-gen platforming fun. As with last year's Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty looks brilliant and is full of clever weapons and fun characters, making it well worth a look at £9.99.

If you're after more premium content on PSN you can pick and choose from a National Geographic add-on pack for Buzz! Quiz TV, PS1 classic International Track & Field, Kratos as a playable character in Everybody's Golf and a new track pack for Guitar Hero 3.

On the back of Games Convention 2008 there's a lot of free content too. A demo of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is well worth a look ahead of its release next month, while the Haze Domination pack will please fans of Ubisoft's PS3 exclusive FPS. Rounding off the week's content are a load of trailers for the very best games from Games Convention and the entire Sony press conference from E3 2008.

360 users PAY for themes? PS3 users can make their own and share them. All PSN themes are free as well. Never thought M$ would be this greedy.
