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 360
A range of good demo content vs new game releases make this week difficult to judge, but in the end we’ve gone with the Xbox 360.
Xbox gamers get to try and and buy a good mix of games including The Simpsons Arcade Game, Double Fine Action Theatre and Rhythm Party. Meanwhile the PS3 can’t offer any new PSN games, but does provide betas for Twisted Metal and Gotham City Impostors – the latter being by invitation only on Xbox LIVE.
Both platforms also host the Syndicate co-op demo, new content for Dead Island and some Italian cars for Need for Speed The Run
