Ya. Feels like a pass off. Maybe he's being passive aggressive at 2K. "Nothing I can do about it <staring intently at 2K dudes>" It wouldn't be so bad if second-class gamers weren't already playing it on the 360. I say that in almost-maybe-but-not-quite-green. Because really, I hope every one of their systems red rings. Thankfully, that's likely. |

Mine red ringed for a third time last Jan I think.
Never bothered to get it fixed.
Seems people managed to snag rental copies.

So sit back in your leather chair and swirl your red wine and adjust your dinner jacket as you stare mournfully at your quiet PS3. Meanwhile the dirty 'second class' proles are having a helluva time playing on their 360's. /neener neener! |

I ordered mine on Amazon UK instead of Steam too. Crossing my fingers for early shipment now. And hoping they use planes for delivery, not Steam ships!
I'm buying Torchlight to keep me entertained until this arrives.

Planes? Shit, I'm terrified to get in my car now!

Post arrived this morning (fucking scab posties ffs, AND there was a fucking scab bin lorry on my street when I got home! Er... sorry, back to the point...) and no Borderlands, so I drove into Bradford and picked it up at a GAME. Looks awesome, plays great on PS3, no problems with aiming, enjoying it a lot! Started as Roland, got to level 5, decided to try Mordecai, just got him to level 5 too. Enough typing, back to it  |

Friend pre-downloaded it for me, came over, tried to back it up to my portable HDD. No worky. Tried in different sizes. No worky. Tried to back it up to his own HDD. No worky. Eventually said fuckit, and copied his entire temprary copy of my steam directory to my HDD. I'll run the game once from the porta-hdd, then back it up andinstall it on my real machine. Going to bed now. nearly 2am. Fucker better be unlocked when I wake up. |

Well played.
I keep trying to convince myself there is no chance of early activation so I don't go insane waiting for it. Thankfully FIFA 10 and NHL 10 are taking up a lot of the slack. My poor FE character has been tragically neglected, however.

I would think the way Gearbox has been comporting themselves that they would if they could, but I'm also not holding my breath on that one. It will be the first game I'll load onto my 7 drive...just in case.

I played for so long last night, that when my alarm was going off this morning, I would hold down the snooze button so it would pick up more ammo.

You know, for this style of game, being a treasure hunter in search of a mystical vault of goodies is a pretty damn good motivation. Better than saving the realm from a demon from hell.

Eh, it's not anyone's fault the game doesn't get unlocked early.
If I were Best Buy and Steam got permission to unlock theirs I would blow my stack and fire out lawsuits left and right. Or, vice-versa.
The only way for Gearbox (or 2k games) to come out clean is just to stick to the original plan, which I am sure they are contractually obligated to do.

Less than 1% of all copies were sold, and if we unlocked the game today, illegal versions would most likely appear on torrents by the evening.
How's this different then Tuesday morning? I don't see any logical reasoning here. If people have the physical media already, I'm damn well sure people are already moving the media around and attempting to kill securom/crack the exe. Just man up and say due to binding legal agreements with distribution we cannot unlock digital copies before the street date. |

Fuser, they're not going to be able to crack it. The EXE file, even if they managed to unencrypt it is empty. They don't have the necessary information on any physical media to crack it. That's how the Securom works. When you buy a Securom game from Take 2, you're not buying the whole game.
Of course, Take 2 would never admit that and they're probably wondering how I would even know. Let's just say I got Bioshock early and found out the hard way.

Hey guys,
Yesterday we learned that a fraction of the PC copies of Borderlands were accidentally sold to consumers in some countries but that gamers could not activate their copies yet. Since we learned of this problem, we have been looking into the issue to find the best possible solution for everyone.
I'm going to be completely honest with you guys right now. It is not possible for us to move the planned release date of the game forward. We could not possibly get the games into stores worldwide and out for digital distribution any earlier than planned. Less than 1% of all copies were sold, and if we unlocked the game today, illegal versions would most likely appear on torrents by the evening. I am sure all of you want our PC launch to be as successful as possible, and we simply won't be able to manage that any earlier than already planned.
I want to apologize for those of you who have gotten the game ahead of our release date, and ask for your patience and understanding. The game will be ready in the US and Canada at midnight eastern standard time on Monday, October 26th, and internationally by Friday, October 30th.
-Elizabeth
