DLC round-up July 7, 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…

Draw

With great games available on both platforms it’s very tricky to call a winner, so we haven’t. PSN has the second episode of The Walking Dead, which by all accounts except ours is rather good, and Xbox LIVE Arcade can impress with the critically praised Spelunky.

Elsewhere there’s a lot of duplicate content, and certainly nothing to edge the decision in favour of one or the other platform.
