Although I saw about 8 copies left at the Northland Futureshop for the PS3, I was only checked xbox, so I am going to go buy 2 for the PS3, wait until more copies come and then just bs them and trade them for 360 copies.
another reason why getting games on Steam is awesome

I was able to get a Walmart to hold five copies for myself and a bunch of my buddies because we couldn't leave downtown till lunch time. We got there and they said they were all sold out but they still kept our copies. It was very nice of them. At a $40 price point I didn't think they would last on store shelves. Come to think of it I wouldn't be suprised if Futureshop or even Best Buy are just sitting on stock till the Walmart sale is over and then filling up their shelves with $69.99 copies. Seems like Walmart has been really bending these retailers over (pardon my language) with these cheap games.

try the walmart or best buy near you
walmart said they were getting their shipment "later today" so if it came in you might get lucky and be able to snag a copy

check your pm.

Actually, I should pass this on to all CP. My friend and I both placed online orders for the game, both were filled, so between the 2 of us we have 4 copies. Instead of cancelling these, would anyone on CP be interested in taking them off my hands (for the same price I paid). It beats cancelling my order if I can help some one out. I work in downtown, so can exchange it tomorrow. 3J3 has first dibs, but I haven't heard back from him and will be leaving to pick it up soon, don't want to pay for them then find out he doesn't need them anymore, so does anyone want to be a backup?

The bestbuy in deerfoot meadows only had 1 of my orders so I just cancelled it. So there should be at least one there for whoever wants it

Bought a PS3 copy tonight at NE Future Shop. $41 including GST.

Looked like they had about 10 copies left (PS3), they're locked up in a cage (not out on the display rack).

Bought on 360 last night, played up to the first boss. Its a great game but I hate console FPS so I sold it and bought the PC version. I can't wait to play that on Monday. This game came out of nowhere

Played it for an hour tonight. At first when I saw the graphics/art style I thought it looked like crap, but it is actually pretty terrific! The graphics are super smooth, and the distinct art-style really gives the game a distinct style, it's awesome.

As for the game, it is like a WoW-FPS hybrid, I'm really liking it. I only played by myself, but I can't wait to play it with my brother and a couple other people, 4 people will be insane amounts of fun.

This is easily the funnest game I've played in a long time. I have a 24 Siren atm, but with the way I'm playing, a Zerker would have probably been a better choice.

If you want some classic reading take a peek at the Steam "Borderlands" forum. They are pretty pissed because the game isn't unlocked at Midnight. Then this was posted by PR on the 2K forums

"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."


And as of now the game has been cracked and being played. I see their point that we paid for the game and the pirates get to play before us but i'm not going to get worked up over it like the poeple on those forums. Classic

Yeah, this game is a lot of fun. Have a level 15 hunter and siren. It's a little tough waiting for everyone in my group to be free to play together though.

Been very fun playing it multiplayer so far. The enemies get harder and better loot is given out the more players you have on (up to 4).
This game came out of no where for me, but I'm glad I picked it up
