Following the announcement of Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom is reaching out the PS3 community to ask how the new content included in Japan’s physical package (Biohazard 5: Alternative Edition) should be made available to those inhabiting the EU and North America.

It goes without saying that a brand new disc, bundling together the original game, Jill’s supplementary sub-mission, and motion control functionality for the PS3 wand (or Sphere) into one neatly boxed item, would be ideal for RE5 newcomers. On the other hand, given the convenience and immediacy that downloadable content offers, providing Alternative Edition’s goodies on the PlayStation Store might be more appealing – certainly to gamers who already own a copy of the best-selling title in Capcom’s survival horror series.

What will it be: a blu-ray disc or DLC? At the end of the day, it’s all about having your say. You can cast your vote via a dedicated poll page (registration / log in required) during the next few weeks. An official decision from the Resident Evil development team can be expected shortly after the results have been collated and reviewed.
