Unfortunately, no. In order to get DA, you must pay the full $40. It is planned to become an Online Marketplace item sometime later this year, for what I expect to be $15 or $20. It's just Capcom's way of getting more money out of the people who already bought DD, and an official reboot that includes the DA expansion to people who haven't played. It's a double edged sword, with old players getting upset at having to pay for a new game, and newcomers happily buying a full game with and expansion for just $40.
