Hrmmm… where is the mention of the Wii-like control in the PS3 version? : This news does make me happy though. As I already own the Xbox 360 version, and wanted to use the Wii-like controls but didn't want to rebuy the same exact game then DLC just to do that. Glad the new PS3 version is all on disc.

DLC voucher's kind of strange, since it automatically locks out the 10+ million 360s who aren't online. :/

Glad I can just get the extra content through XBL though, I wouldn't want to rebuy RE5 full price just for extra costumes and 2 new scenarios. Do we know the separate dlc pricepoints yet?

I alrdy have RE5 on 360, but I'm also getting this on PS3 w/ everything included instead of DLC, plus I want to try out the motion control and play it like RE4 Wii. I never had time to play Fallout 3 and just ordered GotY edition now, makes the wait kind of worthwhile. Thankfully I didn't buy the Lost and Damned DLC either, so getting Gay Tony on a disc is perfect for me now. In fact, I just got these 2 games on Amazon w/ $20 off of $80.

I will also buy this. I hate the idea of DLC but I'm quite content to get it bundled on disc at a later date (Fallout 3 GOTY). I hope they somehow do the same for GTAIV PS3, because I've yet to play it and Gay Tony sounds fabulous. The M$ money hats can't last forever!

No Alternate Edition stuff for PC version? That makes me sad :(

Looks like I'll be buying this then. PS3 version since you'll never have to use another disc.

I think Capcom didn't use a second DVD for the 360 version because of the Fallout 3 and Oblivion GotY where you could use the disc on multiple 360s and everyone could download the GotY content without paying extra.

*edit* Didn't mean this as a comment reply.
