*Le Sigh*
BB won't ship outside of canada and joystiq's Walmart link just redirects back to here and the futureshop link says it's not redirecting correctly (all in firefox).
Though I'm also at work and behind some pretty hefty websense. *Shrug* Oh well.

The Walmart link is meant to open this post, to show off the clipping from the flyer after the break. The sale isn't available online.
The Futureshop link seems to work fine for us.

But of course.. the game will also insert mukluks, igloos and seals. Dipshit yank. Keep your money and stay out of our country.

I like when they say "eh". Also, that's Scott, he's a dick. +1 if you know that reference.

I guess it was lost on me. Either that or it just wasn't funny. Probably more of the latter.

Poutine, hockey, hot prairie girls and $40 at release games? I'll trade that any day for needing the army to come in every couple of years to dig out Toronto.
BTW, Bestbuy sale _is_ online... if you live in Canada. I got Batman:AA delivered to my house (3 weeks late mind you because of disgusting back-order). Plus you have to pay GST and delivery charge (that's why it's just below $40 as over $40 is free delivery), so total cost is ~$46 Canajun dollars.
Now I'm off to curling.

$33.75 each for PC if you can get a Steam 4-pack preorder together. And we get the SDK.

Okay, let's clear this up.
We get a game on sale for $40, about a $19 savings from the US street price.
However a TV that costs $549 there costs us about $699.99 here + about 14% sales tax.
I'll take the $549 TV, thanks.

Considering that most other games have been running at $69.99, I'd disagree. Uncharted 2 is one of the few recent games to launch at the regular $59.99. I use that term, regular, lightly, since before our dollar rose above the USD many months back, the regular price was $69.99 then, too.
I was buying Borderlands anyway, but paying nearly half price is a big bonus. I'll buy a copy for my friend, at that price.

@Nick
It's 13%...
But it terms of this specific moment, we do have it 1338-ly good.
I wasn't actually interested in the game much, but at this price... Fuck it, I'll buy it.
I've been bored out of my mind lately.

Crap. I really want Borderlands but I just bought Uncharted 2 and there's no way in hell I'm waiting for either MW2 or NSMBWii, plus Nostalgia seems really cool. Maybe Borderlands will have to be a Christmas present...

Dunno, pal, just watched the 'choose your hero' video they're advertising on Live and unless some great reviews come out I won't be touching this one.
It has started to look reeaaaally bad to me since they started showing more gameplay. For example, the animations for people exploding, the bloody explosions, buildings exploding, etc just all look awful and poorly done in my opinion.

Borderlands isn't getting enough hype. Come on, this game looks amazing. GOTY potential even.
I'll post this hilarious video every time there's a Borderlands article. This is just awesome.

It's because people don't know what to expect from Gearbox...They don't have the best track record...
That video is HILARIOUS by the way. I saw it last night. I died laughing. DIED.

Haha, yeah. This is probably the best marketing I've seen for a game in a long time.

For those of you still on the fence about Borderlands, check out around a half hour of co-op gameplay.
