Basically, you now have only one excuse for not getting Borderlands tonight if you're into the game and you're in the US, and that is not wanting to go to GameStop and stand in line at midnight. Which is actually pretty reasonable.

I happen to live in Dallas, and although Borderlands looks promising and certainly worth purchasing at some point... I'm tired and I'm watching football. Kinda don't have the spare cash to pick this game up anyways, it's something I'll put on the backburner, perhaps.

Richard was dilligently editing the videos about the NXE Twitter/Facebook/Last.FM stuff today, so the Fancast went on the backburner.
BUT...
My refreshed Fancast artwork is live!
(P.S...I've got a tasty copy of Borderlands cooking for me at GameStop right now. I'm gonna pick it up around 6 tomorrow night. Excited!!)

I'm hoping it turns out good, I started getting pretty concerned about whether I'd like this after I started seeing gameplay video. Death and exploding animations look awful and cheesy, personal opinion. Seems to ooze character and a unique look so I'm wishing for the best.
Haven't been to a midnight opening since GoW2 after I'd moved and hadn't found a job yet. Those are, special, um, experiences...

I would ope that they do a free steam weekend. I would jump on that opportunity because its about me convincing other people to buy it (I don't want to get it if my friends aren't)

Yeah, I have the same feelings about it. It seems to me this is one of those "Mercenaries 2"-like games.
Ok when you play it by yourself, nothing special, but with a buddy it becomes tons of fun.

I'm sitting in my car outside Ganestop right now. Another 55 minutes and I'm ready to explore Pandora.

I'm on it. I'll be gettin me some Demon Souls too. The latter somehow got past my radar. I've been hearing about it lately, checked it out, it seems like a great game. Love coop where you don't have to talk to anybody.
At least 3 walmarts were selling Borderlands today, but they were sold out by the time I'd heard.

Ooh, ooh, I have ANOTHER reason why those interested in the game in the US are not outside a gamestop right now! The fact that the PC version was delayed 6 days, and is thus not AVAILABLE tonight.
No PC love... :(

The PC version is nearly half the price (in 4 pack) of the console versions on Steam so that should make up for the delay. :)

Oh and if you blame someone, blame the publisher, 2K, not Gearbox. Wasn't their call.

Or waiting until next week when the PC version comes out and I don't have to pay for multiplayer.

I'm having to pretend I don't care about this game with already having bought Demons Souls, Sigma 2 & Uncharted 2. The only games I'm buying other than PSN ones the rest of the year are NSMB Wii, MW2 & AC2.

Damn you Sly ... see thats one I forgot about!
Maybe I'll get Ratchet instead of that new Mario Bros.
@Markez
I picked it up as well ... pretty good game (beautiful art style) ... but if you want a taste of what the PSN is all about get Burn Zombie Burn, The Last Guy, Luminies Supernova, Super Stardust HD & Echnochrome. Those are some of the absolute best games (especially Burn Zombie Burn & Stardust HD!) on the platform ... and on any platform period.

This game is fantastic. So much better than I even expected. It's like you throw a FPS into a Diablo style universe. It blends together perfectly. Only thing I could use is a bit of tweaking in the aiming, but past that it really is awesome.

Oh, totally forgot. Only other thing I'm not liking so much is the vehicle customization...at least thus far to where I'm at in the game (13 hours in or so) You have one type of vehicle, you can choose from 2 weapons and 8 paint jobs. That's it :( Not a huge deal but I really did expect more out of the vehicle bit. Might change as I get further, might get more parts and such but I just don't know yet. We shall see :D

He probably got it in the mail. I remember when I got my copy of Gears 2 from Amazon the day before it's actual street date.
