Based on the results of a poll conducted back in October, Capcom has announced their plans on how they will bring gamers the bonus content contained within Resident Evil 5: Alternate Edition.
The surveys asked the Capcom community to state their preference- either a hard disc with the new content included or as downloadable content. Based on the results of the polls, Capcom is pleased to announce that new downloadable content will be available for Resident Evil 5 owners this spring via XBOX Live and PlayStation Network.
There you go North American and European gamers. It's because you voted that the decision was made to release the bonus content as DLC on the 360 and PS3.
