Any news on when the Borderlands game of the year edition (with all the DLCs) is coming out?

Such an edition has not been announced, unless you're aware of something the rest of us aren't...

Ryu, If I knew anything I wouldn't have posted my question, would I? ;-)

I did hear that more DLCs are coming in addition to the three already available, the last of which was 'the secret armoury of general knoxx'. So maybe a 'Game of the Year' edition is still fa away.

a "GOTY" is a long bit away, if it comes. More DLC is coming and the 1st 2 DLCs are being released on disc just this week. I would assume another Disc in a few months with Knoxx and another pack after a new DLC releases.

To be fair, the way your question was worded made it seem like you a knew a GotY edition was announced, but didn't know if there was an update on the release date of it.

Halluzinationz, you are right. Thanks for pointing it out. I had not noticed.
Ryu, I did not mean to belittle you. Hope you weren't offended.

Onyx, I think your assessment is spot on. I guess it was wishful thinking on my part. I really want to play this game but don't feel like dropping 70-90$ for the game+DLCs. I don't want to make the same mistake I did with fallout 3. I do however think they will eventually release a GotY version. I just hope it's not next year!

No offense taken. Halluz was right, from the way you worded your post I thought it sounded like you already knew about a GOTY or were taking it as a given, and just asking when the release date would be.

did it get any GOTY awards? I would buy a Gold edition with all the DLC for sure.

Ninja, that is a very good question. Why DO they call it 'game of the year'? It's not like it won any awards. Usually it means that the game (gold edition) is packaged with all the DLCs. Like they did with 'Oblivion'.

I think your question should be the topic of a new thread!

That's hardly required.

And if that's all Gearbox is waiting on, I'm happy to hereby bestow the Ryuukishi Game of the Year 2009 honor on Borderlands. Congratulations guys!

Well, if they plan to call it a "Game of the Year" edition, wouldn't it have to launch within a year of the game's release?

well Fallout 3 and Oblivion and all GOTY editions won their respective award, but I just don't recall Borderlands getting any. Solid game, but it didn't blow minds.

Ninja, I did not know that. That is very interesting indeed. Is there any other game with a GotY edition that did NOT win a 'game of the year' award?

Cantatus, interesting point. Although I am not convinced that's the reason why. Ninja dog may be onto something...

In all seriousness, it really was the best game of 2009 for me, so if it didn't win any year-end awards, it should have. 110+ hours and 1500 gamerscore in, and I'm still trying to get more of my friends to buy it so I can play more co-op. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone wait on a potential GOTY edition, it's well worth picking up right now.

A "Game of the Year" Edition of Borderlands has been pure speculation and internet rumor at this point. Nothing official has been announced.

I'd hardly call this game GOTY material either.

Hey antlp89, I see your point, but Batman Arkham Asylum did win 'a' game of the year award at the BAFTA for 2009. Here's the link http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178431

So far Ninja dog's theory/explanation stands unchallenged.

Does anyone else have any other theories or explanations why some games' versions are called 'game of the year' editions? Or is Ninja dog's explanation the correct one?

GOTY??? Doesnt the game usually have to be epicly good?
