Got an account at Capcom-Unity? Good. You can use it to vote on whether the upcoming Resident Evil 5: Alternate Edition content should be available as a digital download, or if Capcom should instead opt for an all-new retail package with the extra missions lovingly burned to the disc.
The company is already set on putting out a new physical product for Japan, but as for the United States and Europe? Your guess (or vote, rather) is as good as mine. Why can't it be both? Uh ... "we'll have to get back to you on that."
Early last month before we even knew Alternate Edition existed, we had heard talk of how the RE5 team was at least entertaining the idea of additional downloadable content. So perhaps the studio would rather go that route, and simply wants a second opinion on the matter.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Also surely it is cheaper to produce this content as DLC than anything else right, I assume this debate comes up because M$ take a bigger cut from DLC than they do from retail products?
But the question is is it worth it to pay full or near full price fir the same experience with a few add-ons?
In some cases it is. I'd argue GTA IV's two episodes repackaged with the full game is worth maybe $50.
But 80% of the time DLC is the way to go. Bring it Capcom. And as DaedHeas said if you don't have Internet then...well...damn. That blows.
I own two TRS-80s. And LOTS of these disks.
Discs are stupid. Make it DLC. It's small enough. Last thing I want to do is shell out another $60 for a bonus mission.
And I am absolutely sticking with the free part. If we already bought the game, we should not be looted for more cash. We already showed our support for RE5 by buyig the game, and that can be could enough for Capcom.
The original game is $60 at launch.
If it's substantial DLC, it'll be $20 for the addon.
So, if it's as a new disc, it should be priced at $40 to offset the folks who already bought it once versus the folks who are just now getting it almost a year later with new content included.
Simple.
