I am also interested in getting the 4 pack. Just need to figure out how to do this.

someone needs to buy Borderlands GOTY, in order to use the %10 off towards the Borderlands 2 4-pack.

GMG just dropped the price of BL 2 to $49.99 again, so $40 with coupon and less depending on your credit

And after I ordered it for $48, damnit. Wonder if they'll adjust it. Sent an email to see but not really optimistic.

Cool.

Now if only they'll fix their checkout system so I can actually buy something.

Sent Newegg an email to see if I can cancel my Borderlands 2 order with them and still keep the discount on the other games I ordered at the same time. Hope this price is still available when I hear back from them.

EDIT: It's either all or nothing with Newegg. Looks I'll be keeping my order with them so I don't lose my $12 discount on Last Story and DoA5.

I have to give props to GMG. I wasn't going to preorder this game at all cause I wasn't willing to spend $60 on it or $54 with that 10% discount steam is giving for the weekend for owning the original Borderlands. At $40 though, it's just at the max I am willing to buy it for on release day.

Risen 2 is $26.76 today with the 20% off code. I've been wanting it since release, and that is the best price I remember seeing -- I just don't know if I have $27 worth of want for it.

I also have to give props to GMG for a lot of nice deals. They actually let promo codes stack with other deals and pre-orders, which is rare among retailers.

Thanks to them:

Borderlands 2 pre-order: $40.00
Guild Wars 2 pre-order: $39.97 (with $5 credit from a free game they gave me)
Darksiders 2 pre-order: $34.96
Dark Souls pre-order: $32.00

All very reasonable prices on my "must have release-day" games.

Toss in my Orcs Must Die 2 and Torchlight 2 pre-orders from Steam and I believe I'm set for the next 6 months or so.

Noting the problems people have had with CC's being flagged and whatnot, I've always paid with paypal from the beginning and never had a problem.

I may be in the minority, but I prefer retailers who take the money up front for pre-orders. Makes it easier to budget for games, and reduces the chance of any forgotten surprises down the road.

Updated the OP to reflect the Borderlands 2 price reduction (again).

I would wait for sub $20 range unless you really like the exploring aspect of it. I got it on release and was pretty disappointed by the quality.

I updated the OP, the links for Borderlands 2 and Dead island are dead.
Please someone approve my edit, thanks

Your edit shows you taking the links out, they both still work and are still a deal...

Originally Posted by rybrad Your edit shows you taking the links out, they both still work and are still a deal...

for me they are taking me to a 404 page, other than the other links which still direct me to the right site... maybe its only me? Dunno

Do you live outside the US? Also, in the future, instead of removing links if they are dead try to find the link on their site by searching and post it!

Edit: I appreciate the thought by the way, people rarely edit the OP besides me so it is nice to see some effort.

Borderlands is back to $49.99 and you can still use 20% off to get it for $40.00. Best deal for a single copy right now I think.



Edit: If you buy BL1/BL1 GOTY you get a 10% off voucher for BL2. You don't get it if you buy them together. But it doesn't stack with 20% off so you're better off just using that in any case.

Had a $5 credit lying around (believe it was from that free game they let you trade-in a few months back) so got Borderlands 2 down to $35. Not too bad. I bought the 1st game when it was $5 on a Steam and must've put a good 50 hours into it. Don't mind showing Gearbox some more support by buying this one sooner (though always nice to save some cash as well).

Borderlands 2 is very tempting at $40 but I hate paying up front on preorders...

I liked it but if someone goes in expecting a sort of Skyrim sandbox experience then you will definitely be disappointed. I guess it's more along the lines of the Witcher 2 in that you can do a little exploring but you are limited in that. The world does open up a good bit once you get a ship but there's no sailing the high seas.

I enjoyed and it thought it was fun. It had a (mostly) good sense of humor and there's not a ton of pirate games out there.

It's slightly on the short-ish side for an RPG, but that could be a good thing for some.

Combat was okay, could have been better but I am not much of a combat person anyway. I did think the difficulty was too hard in the beginning and too easy in the end but that's Piranha Bytes for you.

All that being said, if someone waited this long you might as well wait a little longer for it to go cheaper at this point.

Borderlands 2 is one of the few games I would gladly pay MSRP for at launch if there was no other choice.

Trade a Borderlands 2 steam gift for Darksiders 2 if anyone has a key. Will also sell it for 39.98. PM me.
