I have deh gamefly.
*edit- just messing. I`m really glad the guys down at geatbox not only finished this, but finished it with finess and style. It looked like a really cool project when it was first announced and it still looks kick ass on release. I definitely plan to check it out. Congrats to to the whole Borderlands team!
I was going to get the 360 version until I found out my friends were buying it on PC, I could get it for half price on PC, and that the superior version is on PC... so I guess I'll wait
I'm guessing this is to curb whatever piracy might happen with the PC version? Get the sales of the consoles out of the way before the warez kiddies get their hands on it, so to speak?
I am the saddest panda ever that 2K delayed Borderlands to the 26th for PC.
I thought the reason for the delay was for PC optimization, but why would all the Gamestops and Best Buys in my area have the PC version in stock in their back rooms but are simply waiting for the 26th to put them on the shelves?

what!? seriously? that's fucked up. I heard it was for optimization as well
I bought mine today at lunch...Gamestop did not have any extras. They only had enough for the people who reserved their copy. They did not have any copies for the shelves? I went across the street to Wal-Mart and bought it.

congrats Mark New art style fits it way better than when I worked at gearbox. Hope it sells better than Hell's Highway and you guys get some royalties.

The PC delay sounds like an anti-piracy measure maybe. Get all those fence sitters to go console rather than have their pick from the flood of pirated PC copies out there on day one.
My buddy got 4 of us together as a group to play it... then one of them preordered, and so did my other friend. And here I am confused as all hell saying "Why the crap didn't we do the 4 pack?!?!!" .... Steam is really unforgiving on that.... it looks like it could be hard to cancel those preorders... or we could just find a couple more people.

Isnt that assuming that Pirates own consoles and would pay for the game otherwise? Where do they draw these conclusions?

Thanks, Lee. I am fairly certain we are on track to outsell HH by far.
Sorry about the PC release guys, I have no idea what is up with that. At least you only have to wait a few more days and if you got in on one of the 4-pack deals with 3 friends I would think saving nearly 50% off the console version price kind of makes up for the 6 day wait, no? *shrug*

Do you really think they can get the disks pressed, packaged, out to stores accross the world and on the shelves in one day?!

Wrong. Canceling a pre-order is in the agreement. It's really easy to do and they refunded me and all my friends in about 30 minutes from our application.
So how's the PC jump in and out of people's game system work? It's pretty snazzy on the XBox. Should we be sharing Steam IDs now in preperation? Definitely want to get as many names as I can so there is a a good chance a game will be going on.
The dingleberries at the Best Buy here didn't put the xbox 360 versions out on the shelf, even by today. They did however put the ps3 version out... We had to ask them to bring out a handful of copies.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I know somewhere on the steampowered site they say they make an exception for preorders before the release date, but I couldn't find it in the agreement itself.
got my copy last night, played coop with a few of the Gearbox guys. It's like a mash up between shooter & WoW. Tons of items to loot! Its really come along way since I saw it last year while working at Gearbox and it looks way better in this cel-shaded style. Co-op is fun!
I'm not a fan of how you pick up items however, its not the "hold x," or anything, its just the sensitivity of it. It seems like it requires too much cursor accuracy for a console game, especially when picking up loot, money, and items is fun
going to make a soldier tonight, though the hunter is super fun!

I'm pretty sure it's to somewhat combat piracy.
The release date for US PC was supposed to be the same as US console on October 20th, but they delayed it for marketing tactics (to make more money).
I am happy about the 4-pack, by the way. Saving a whopping $17 per copy for 4 people was awesome
