Capcom Says Community Decided DLC Delivery Method of Resident Evil 5 "Alternative Edition"

Capcom just sent this out to anyone and everyone on their mailing list:

"Hi Everyone,

You can try to forget the fear but it will never go away…

Following the announcement of Resident Evil 5: The Alternative Edition by Capcom Japan at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, Capcom’s North American and European community sites decided to post polls and determine how fans in the pan-western regions would like the new Resident Evil 5 content delivered to them. 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."

So...community votes on new dlc for a game rather than re-purchasing it to gain access to new and updated content? Big shocker there. Just getting the dlc's cheaper and easier. But I'm a little confused. Why not force Super Resident Evil 5 in disc form down everyone's throats instead? I mean, it's what you're good at, Capcom.
