Capcom previously announced at the Tokyo Game Show that a new version of Resident Evil 5 would be released called RE5 Alternative Edition.  The company also announced that the new title will be released in Japan as a boxed game.  However they wanted to see how fans on the other side of the world wanted their game. After placing a poll on their website to determined whether North American/ European fans wanted it via digital or via brick and mortar, it was determined that the game will be sold via DLC.

Capcom decided based on the 1500 votes for DLC over 900 votes for physical copy that North America, Europe and Australia can download the new RE5, when the adventure launches this Spring.

Although not that much is known about the alternate title, it’s been confirmed that it will support the new Sony PS3 motion controller wand thingy. Maybe Natal support will follow suit?
