EA will release bundles of Dead Space downloadable content for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this Thursday, 13th November.

Contents range from weapon skins to powered-up suits and firearms for people who want to splat some space zombies with minimal effort.

Each console will also have a couple of pieces of exclusive content, similar to those released back in October.

Xbox 360 owners will get the option of a fully upgraded suit in the (presumably) green console colour scheme, with matching guns, and PlayStation 3 owners will have a similar option but in jet-black console colours.

European pricing wasn't mentioned, unfortunately, so PS3 owners will have to make do with the US numbers for now.

Exclusive Xbox 360 DLC:

  • Elite Pack, 240 MS Points (GBP 2.04 / EUR 2.88) - Xbox 360-coloured level 5 suit and Line Gun, Plasma Cutter, and Pulse Rifle.
