DLC round-up November 5 – Xbox 360 vs PS3

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 and Xbox 360. Wii is no longer included in our round-up.

Our verdict is based on the content available this week only.

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.

PSN

The PlayStation Network takes it by a nose, with Payday The Heist proving to be enjoyable enough to fend off Xbox add-on content for Gears of War 3 and Forza 4. Both platforms also enjoy new content for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record and the Batman: Arkham City Nightwing bundle – it’s just a shame the latter doesn’t offer any campaign levels.
