DLC round-up February 18, 2012 – 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…

PlayStation 3

While neither system can boast to be home to the best examples of downloadable titles this week, it’s the PS3 which comes up trumps thanks largely to an onslaught of PS2 Classics. Much of the PS2 Classics line-up isn’t worth your time, but God Hand and Maximo are certainly worth a look if you’re willing to part with £8 a pop.

PS3 also boasts House of the Dead III and Worms Ultimate Mayhem, meaning Xbox LIVE’s lonesome Warp doesn’t have a hope of competing.
