Having not spent any of your money today, perhaps you'd like to invest it in some of that downloadable content you hear about on the news?

The main highlight this week is obviously Rez HD, which - whether or not you agreed with Simon Parkin's fulsome praise - is undoubtedly still worth your 800 Microsoft Points.

It wasn't such a bad haul on the PlayStation Network front, either, with the pick of the three PSone games provided at GBP 3.49 probably Motorhead. Not that I ever played it, but I've read a forthcoming write-up from the one and only Dan Whitehead, who liked it more even than its PSone bedfellows Fade to Black (Flashback sequel ZOMG) and Theme Hospital, both of which lined up alongside it.

Those of you preferring to augment your existing games have various choices - there's a GRAW 2 Co-op Collection consisting of five new missions for doing with your friends innit, plus nine new unlockable Achievements for another 125 gamerpoints. You can never have enough.

But if you spot us online this weekend, it will probably be because we're trying out the Guitar Hero III: Classic Rock Track Pack featuring Boston, Foreigner and Journey. 500 Microsoft Points is quite steep if you ask us (which you are implicitly doing with your continued patronage - much obliged), but we're suckers for the rock. Plus we're too rubbish to do that Muse song on Hard so the rest of it can sod off.

See below for a roundup of all the premium DLC we could hunt down this week. As in, right below this very word. Unless the page has wrapped oddly again.
