Publisher Capcom put it to the fans, and they asked how did they want the Alternative Edition delivered to them - retail disc, or DLC?
Downloadable content won with around 1500 votes, where physical disc picked up 900. It’s coming to Xbox Live and PSN in spring 2010.
Except if you’re in Japan then it will be in the shops instead, and probably not available over console marketplaces, reports That Gaming Site.
Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition offers fans the chance to play the flashback sequences, playing as Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine in the mansion we all love.
