Borderlands: GOTY Includes Groovy Duke Nukem Bonus

The quickest way to get your hands on Duke Nukem Forever is by purchasing the Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition.

Gearbox wants to get a demo of Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition [http://www.amazon.com/Duke-Nukem-Forever-Pc/dp/B002I0JAJ2/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1286302846&sr=1-1] releasing on October 12, Gearbox will be including membership to the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club.

The club is just what you'd think it'd be, though it doesn't involve alien strippers in any way. With membership comes early access to the Duke Nukem Forever demo before it's available to the rest of the world. That is, whenever the demo is eventually pre-released, because it won't be ready for the launch of Borderlands: GOTY.

The First Access Club will also net purchasers a "wealth of goodies" according to Gearbox. Gearbox hasn't announced what these goodies will actually be, but I'm guessing they could be anything from Duke Nukem themed Borderlands skins to exclusive screenshots or videos. Duke Nukem-branded Wranglers are not yet one of the announced goodies, but I never rule anything out.

Borderlands: GOTY retails for $59.99 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and $49.99 on the PC. It features Borderlands and all four of its DLC packs, including Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxie's Underdome Riot, Secret Armory of General Knoxx, and Claptrap's New Robot Revolution. Duke Nukem Forever itself is expected in 2011. So what do those of us that purchased Borderlands and all of its DLC packs separately get, huh Gearbox?

They better do something for the ones who bought every pack separately. This is why I hate DLC. It screws you over eventually in the end. So disappointing.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I was gonna buy it anyway...

Gives me even more of a reason.

 

[therandombear]

I am happy I live where I live, PC games are cheaper here

I don't know about the Duke things, but oh well, atleast then I get to try it when it's out.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Damn you! I've already bought all the DLC! I hope this applies to all the users who bought the DLC.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Since I don't own Borderlands yet, this could potentially be very promising and I would be all for it... but one thing:

So what do those of us that purchased Borderlands and all of its DLC packs separately get, huh Gearbox?

I'm pretty sure the answer is nothing. After all, this acts like incentive for people to buy Borderlands, not as a reward for people who already have it.

And that is really not fair and not how you treat people who stuck with your game through all this time.

 

[Wintermoot]

I was planning to try borderlands but $50. for the game,the DLC,s and a EARLY DNF TRAILER?! FRACK YEAH!

 

[MaVeN1337]

So, I pre-order the game, Buy every DLC, piece by fucking piece, And they want me to buy it again?

 

[The Cheezy One]

ive bought the original and knoxx, and i really dont want to buy it all over again, just for the DLC

 

[vallorn]

to all of us who bought the DLC

 

[Arkley]

Here's what those of us who already bought the game and all the DLC got: We got to play the game for almost a whole year before this GOTY edition was released. We got to play all of the DLC as soon as it came out. Stop your pissant whining, for god's sake. Our loyalty was already rewarded in that we've owned the game and its DLC long before first-time buyers of the GOTY edition.

Secondly, complaining about this as a fan of Borderlands is ridiculous. Surely, if you love the game and its DLC, then like me, you're hoping for a sequel some day. The more profit Gearbox can rake in from sales of the game and DLC, the more realistic the chance of a sequel becomes. GOTY editions like this and Fallout 3's are an excellent way of not only reinvigorating sales, but also a way of injecting some welcome new life into the all-important online community.

Stop your damn complaining. We got what we paid for already.

£14.99 for the PC version from Play. [http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/16245554/Borderlands-Game-Of-The-Year-Edition/Product.html][footnote]Excluding delivery, that's about 24 American bucks.[footnote]Incidentally, console folk will have to pay twice as much.[/footnote][/footnote] You know it makes sense. (Especially if you haven't bought Borderlands yet)

MONEY

I NEED MONEY, NOW

 

[Grey_Focks]

I bought borderlands day 1 for PC, but I never got the DLC. I plan on picking this up for xbox on release. This detail changes nothing, but I am happy to hear it.

True dat, I see very few companies rewarding people for loyalty, and more rewarding those for signing up. See every cable companies' offerings as example.
But this is just an announcement of what comes with Borderlands GOTY. Doesn't mean Gearbox doesn't have something else in mind for other peoples. They may be saving that for closer to when the Demo is due to arrive.
As quoteth a D&D GM many a time, what is not said to be present in a room, doesn't mean it is not there.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Holy shit. I think I may pick this up.

 

[Nouw]

So I guess I should start calling my friends up!

 

[tehbeard]

Bonus content! whoop!

This does not change my plan of trade in borderlands, get GOTY 3 days later, but it makes it even more sweet.

 

[RoyalWelsh]

Makes me wanna pick this game up even more now.
