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
The PS3 has a hefty line-up of games this week, including the HD upgrades of the PS2’s Jak & Daxter titles, but it’s the Xbox 360 which comes out on top. Not only does the Xbox get the Dawnguard and Mass Effect 3 DLC before the PS3, but it’s also managed a sneaky headstart on The Walking Dead Episde 2, too.
