They sure seem to be crapping out DLC at a good pace, i would hope theyve patched such a serious bug by now, but last time i checked it has not been patched

If you mean the bug with the Badass Ranks, yes. That was patched in mid-December.

I think I might grab this. I've been thinking about getting BL1 again, and even though I have the DLC, I'd still like to have it all collected in one package. I need to finish 1, it's kind of the reason I stopped playing 2, since I felt like I skipped so much. Anyone else on here wanna run through BL1?

Same here. I usually skip these games due to length but I got completely sucked in in early December and I'm STILL playing it nightly trying to level up and get through everything. I'm Level 47 right now about 1/2 way through my second playthrough so the end is in sight. $20 is a STEAL considering how much game there is and how much fun it is to play.

I got the GOTY version for FREE from a friend together with Skyrim. So... much... game...

I know I'll be picking up Borderlands 2 when that one hits $20.

so you don't need the disc for the DLC except for the initial install?

Correct! at least thats how it is on the 360, I dont know about the ps3 version.

i think on the ps3, the dlc is all on the disc

THanks OP. Picked up a copy so my son and I do not have to split screen.

Is the Best Buy holiday price match still in effect? I have credit there that I need to use.

i actually have a sealed GOTY. does the disc just act as a download token? if i install the DLC, will i need the disc if i ever need to install the DLC again (new hard drive for example)? what i would like to do is sell my disc version of the game and just download it from XBL. i mean, if i can sell the game for $15 on CL i would be completely happy if i don't need it again.

is this also how red dead redemption game of the year works? is the DLC installable from the disc?

PS3 is the same way - install DLC from disk, and then you can use a vanilla edition to play it, since the DLC just integrates itself into the game install files.

finally got 100% on all borderlands. wootwoot. i hate those arena challenges!

If you have the version of GOTY w/DLC on disc, you will need the GOTY disc if you ever need to re-install the DLC. It doesn't tie the DLC to your account in anyway.

Wow, thought it was cheaper for consoles by now. You could have gotten it for the PC for $4.99 (from amazon download) with a couple other games (with a $5 credit) but that ended yesterday.

Yep. Hard to believe $20 is a deal on consoles when I just bought a Steam key for the same game for only $3.

There are bigger demands on console players. I know the PC community is vibrant and flourishing, it doesn't help that there are many people(including myself) who can't run it on their PC and don't have the money to buy a good desktop. Plus if you have friends(like I do) that only casually play on consoles, there's a higher amount of people willing to pay these prices.

Thanks TC. I was waiting for this to go cheap! I have the original but wanted the add on DLC so I was waiting for a deal like this. Then today I got a $5 reward zone cert. from BestBuy. I called them up to do a price match & they would not do it. I said why? She said we dont match video games! I said I did it in Dec. After a long back & forth with whoever the lady had to talk to, they did it.


Anyone else hear the Best Buy does not match video games? Oh and she said movies too!

Motherer. I looked for this last week and I swear it said used copies were $27.99 and new were $29.99.

I literally just paid $21.50 for this on eBay like 3 days ago, and mine is missing the map, but it's got the DLC on disc.

Oh well, it was either use Paypal or Gamestop credit. Just wish they'd have a B2G1 sale soon.

So an Xbox 360 version of this is safe to buy used if my store has a copy?

I know exactly what you mean. Most of my friends are console-only. I'm just always surprised at the huge price difference between platforms.

Originally Posted by gldoorii I have it for PS3 but I can't really stand that controller for FPS games, so I've been debating on picking it up on either Live or the disc. Is the DLC really worth it or is the stand alone game for 800 points plenty? I don't plan on playing online.

i personally find it much less fatiguin on the fingers...but xbox has a better community
