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 and does not include premium video content. Releases outside of the UK could vary.

PlayStation 3 - PSN

It's another good week for the PlayStation Store, with an excellent full game, two decent demos and some add-on content that's well worth buying. Leading the charge is EA's Battlefield 1943, the multiplayer shooter that continues the multi-million selling FPS series. If you're after free games to play you can sample Ghostbusters - The Video Game and Fuel, while MotorStorm Pacific Rift fans can buy another substantial add-on. As always, there's also some new tracks for your favourite music games Rock Band, Guitar Hero World Tour and SingStar.

To be honest, I don't think that's a good enough reason to not include them. A site that wants to deliver news has to actively find it, not just hope that someone gives it to them.

Considering how everyone always says that Live is better than PSN - PS3 wins this more than the 360. MS better watch out!

VideoGamer's actual response has always been that 'Nintendo never announce this so we don't put it in' regarding the GH/RB songs... RB2 isn't even out yet, while some of World Tour's DLC vary on Wii EU because of licensing issues.

Im sure ben would care and treasure it for his life if the wii won
No actually, it's just an article, and FYI the Wii has won on many occasions.

Because there is too many songs and that is hardly going to tip the balance. But yeh may as well drop the Wii a because clearly no one cares if it wins....

Any way, Grz PS3 this week. I really enjoyed the trial of BF 1943 Ghostbusters and fuel. So it was a good week I think.

But tbh maybe just removed the GH and RB tracks etc, same with all the Tiger Woods golf stuff :D

Another thing never mentioned are the contests on Mario Kart Wii, or the demos on the NIntendo channel. I really don't think these articles are fair. Either list everything, or just drop the Wii altogether.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but has the DSi's online shop been considered for anything similar to these weekly articles?

I'm guessing we'll be waiting for the DSi's competition - the PSPGo then?
