DLC Royal Rumble - PS3 vs Xbox 360 vs Wii
December 21st, 2008
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, Xbox 360 and Wii, and declare a winner.
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.
PlayStation 3 - PSN
It’s a strong week for PSN with two new games, plenty of add-on content and the usual new bunch of tracks for Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band. Crash Commando is the big release, offering multiplayer side-scrolling shooty action for a reasonable £7.99. SOLDNER-X is also worth a look, but not everyone’s cup of tea. On the add-on front, the pick is clearly the new festive pack for LittleBigPlanet, but the free content for Mercs 2 can’t be sniffed at. Wallpapers and Themes are also on offer, with the Savage Moon theme teasing the excellent castle defence game due in the next few weeks.
DLC round-up isn’t usually the place for us to moan, but we can’t help but feel disappointed that there’s still no sign of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the Euro PlayStation store. While we’ve got our fingers crossed for a release next week, we’re not getting our hopes up.

And the winner of this week’s DLC Royal Rumble is…
Draw
It’s a tough decision this week. While Xbox 360 and PS3 each have a strong selection of free and premium content to choose from, the Wii has the best game available this week in the shape of World of Goo. We feel that the quality of World of Goo makes up for a lack of content overall, so we’re declaring this week a tie. Good times for everyone, unless you’re a Euro PS3 owner still waiting for SSFIITHDR.
