DLC round-up December 17 – 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.

And the winner of this week’s DLC Royal Rumble is…

Xbox LIVE

With one of the strongest weeks for new content in recent memory the Xbox 360 comes out the clear victor thanks to Sonic CD, Joe Danger: Special Edition, Back to Karkand and RAAM’s Shadow.

PS3 gamers get to enjoy Sonic CD and already have Joe Danger – though not the special edition – but this isn’t good enough to rival the new arrivals on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
