Capcom Offers Choice for RE5 Alternate Edition

Last week we unveiled a special director's cut of Resident Evil 5.  Titled the Alternate Edition, the content is being released in Japan in disc format on the PlayStation 3.  In the rest of the world though?  That's still up in the air.

Capcom is giving gamers a chance to weigh in on the subject, giving RE5 co-op fans a chance to vote whether the content is made available as DLC or retail packaging.  

This (retail box) makes absolutely perfect sense for the Japanese gaming market, where the uptake of digital content is a bit behind the western markets. However, based on the success of the RE5 "Versus" downloadable content, as well as digital-only titles like Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Marvel VS Capcom 2, we know that the demand for DLC in the west is huge. More and more, gamers in North America and Europe want content immediately and are less inclined to be tied to boxes and packages.;

What would you guys prefer?

If it would be on a disc, then everyone could get it, but it would cost more.
If it would be DLC, then I wouldn't get it, and it would cost less.

My opinion Make both!
(BTW seeing the results of the vote this will be DLC)

Oh, sorry. If this would be on PC, THEN I would get it, no matter if it's DLC or not. But developers don't care about PC, they don't bring DLC-s out.....

I prefer DLC, or if they want to make a Disc ver why not release a game of the year edition and include it along with the versus mode.

A few years ago, a neighbor offered my wife a Super Nintendo with five games, all for $25, before it went into their garage sale
Hopefully folks had fun. Got quite a few matches in, but I'm signing off for the night.
Arcade, Gears, Halo, Rainbow 6 vegas 2. Sounds good to me. Though Virtuoso and I have some IP issues. my tags are below.

You would think they would patch the USB port stuff.. Its just silly to have to unplug stuff that you usually just leave plugged
Yeah but I think it would still be cool!
