The awkwardly-titled, motion-controlled Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition will be released in the West as downloadable content, Capcom have announced yesterday.

The decision comes after a poll the company held, with users overwhelmingly voting in favour of picking up the game as DLC when it's released next year, rather than opting for a boxed copy.

Interestingly, instead of simply leaving it at "well, the people have spoken", Capcom's Chris Kramer has specifically urged on the company's blog for customers to hold off "thinking about selling RE5 back or handing it off to a friend" in the meantime, which makes it sound like the decision had a lot more to do with saying "fuck you, GameStop used game sales" than bowing to the will of the great unwashed."

Hopefully, this also means that it will be cheaper than a full priced game as well. A lot of people didn't like RE5 enough as it is, it would be hard to sell it to them again.

they did a smart. wow impressive.

while it's cheap.

Good choice Capcom. Now do the same with Super Street Fighter VI.

If ssf4 is dlc I will buy both. More companies should move toward a dlc model even though people complain about it so much. Apparently a lot of people really like dlc, but the minority who don't are extremely vocal about it.

Good, because having two separate versions at retail would confuse dumb people.

It's called an expansion pack. >_>
