Preload complete! Now time to scan furiously through all the files!
[QUOTE=Mulliver;17959701]Yeah the current EU release date is complete BS.[/QUOTE]
Right, the PC street date was also broken all over Europe.
The only difference is that people from the US can activate their PC version on the 26th and people form Europe four days later.
This might stop piracy for a few days, but it's ridiculous that Gearbox only supports early playing for consoles.

This game is amazing, I'm already level 20, and I've played with my friends. I'm satisfied with the console version, it was totally worth it.
[QUOTE=Jugulum;17959597]At least you get it on Monday. We have to wait until next Friday over here in Europe. :([/QUOTE]
wait. what the fuck are you talking about ?
I'm in europe and on steam it says it will be available in 4 days.

Couldn't the encrypted readme file technically be used to find the decrypt key?

Maybe you should have gotten it for console then. It has a higher rating.
Some of you guys are fucking stupid. Gearbox doesn't have any control over the release of the PC version. 2K Games does.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;17960000]fuck console gaming when you can play it on pc cheaper.[/QUOTE]
Fuck PC-Gaming when it's dead.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;17959981]we pc gamers better get some fucking compensation for this.[/QUOTE]
Why? You act as though Gearbox actually owes us something. It's not their fault that some retailers broke the street date.
"Europe" isn't "Europe" for 2K. For instance, Germany get's Borderlands on the 26th Austria on the other hand on the 30th.
Apparently 2K games is too dumb to even get their Europe right

They said that "if there are going to be early releases, and those releases are legit (not mistakes) then the release date will have to be set back... we won't screw people."

Necrophilia is wrong.
Fuck. Why do pc gamers always get screwed over like this.
If we had a decrypted readme file then yes.
You kids can't wait a whole 4 days?
Or 6 if your a wanker

Oh yes, 8.

Fuck necrophilia, jerk!
Always with the lateness. Gimme sum box n clox.
[QUOTE=SHITBULLET;17959515]Gearbox said that "The PC version won't be playable until the 26th - your retailer broke the street date :(".
On their fucking twitter. I am seriously disappointed by Gearbox. They even said that "if there are going to be early releases, and those releases are legit (not mistakes) then the release date will have to be set back... [U]we won't screw people[/U]." I guess you every promise made by Gearbox is just a load of bollocks.
When by the way did every fucking developer use twitter? Couldn't they've at the very least made a post in their own forums instead of using twitter for that?[/QUOTE]
It's shit like this that doesn't make me feel sorry for Devs and Publishers when their games get pirated. I mean, look at it from a purely business standpoint:
Give PC version to Retailers 2 weeks early.
Tell them that the loads of boxes have to sit in their storeroom unopened, taking up space, for 2 weeks (I fucking worked inventory at Borders and I know how frustrating this is).
When some 17 year old getting paid minimum wage brakes the street date and starts selling, the company gets pissed.
By tonight the game will be all over the P2Ps, and thousands of people will download the game. Some will play and cancel their pre-orders. Many others won't even buy it.
Meanwhile, if Gearbox and 2K just unlocked the game, then instead of tons of people pirating it for the next week, people [B]might actually buy the game[/B]. Holy fuck!
So, now here's the situation, you've got a bunch of grumpy gamers who see people playing the game on Youtube, wondering why they don't have it yet. So, they'll search for it, find it, d/l it, and play it. And many will do it TO SPITE Gearbox and 2K, those wankers.
I'll get dumbs for this, but you're all flipping a shit over a release date that's 4 days away.
Put your heads in the salad, it'll be out soon enough.
4 days too far away.

And 8 for me. God.

It's over a week for europe.
Cephalopoid, I 100% agree on you.

8 days isn't my main problem. I am pissed off because game is done and has been for while and still I can't play it until 30th

Thanks for clearing that up, I thought Gearbox will troll me hard and set the timer to 4 days again on Monday.
[b]Hello, Borderlands[/b]

You can rate me as many boxes as you want, but you all know that Left 4 Dead 2 will kick ass. You can't agree more.

If it were 4 months away then i wouldn't really care.
But if console gamers get to play borderlands while i have to wait 4 days.. then thats a different story.
I cheered a little when I found out this will have split screen co-op. Going to be staying with a buddy for a week the day after it's released.
Shits going to be awesome.
