UPDATE ON BIOSHOCK INFINITE PRE-ORDER:
FYI we have added XCOM: Enemy Unknown to the Amazon Bioshock Infinite Pre-order offer (Digital). Customers who pre-order Bioshock Infinite will get: A credit good towards the full price of XCOM, usable only on XCOM, in addition to the $30 credit towards more 2K games, when the game launches.
I’m fairly certain that this makes our offer the most compelling in the channel.
Cheers, Tony
Pretty insane.

Been playing a lot of borderlands lately in my spare time. Have to admit I actually like the game more than I thought I would. Online COOP is great (despite the absolutely crappy system they have implemented for it) and all the different items and stuff are great for
The game seems to me like it wasn’t finished. Towards the end in particular, you start to get a feeling things got kind of rushed and they pushed for release before they had done everything they wanted to. In addition to thelack of freezeframe/movie intros for later bosses, background music seems to disappear completely part way through the game, huge areas with nothing at all in them, digging through the audio files reveals a lot of interesting stuff that seems like it got left out or cut (including much more in depth relationships between the npcs, who otherwise just seem to all exist in limbo from one another except for when one tells you to go talk to someone else, and hints at other areas and more expansive versions of areas that already exist).
You can get at the sound files from
C:\Program Files\2K Games\Gearbox Software\Borderlands\WillowGame\CookedPC\Packages\Audio
C:\Program Files\2K Games\Gearbox Software\Borderlands\WillowGame\CookedPC\Packages\Audio\VO\VO_Narrative_WAV.upk
in particular had a lot of interesting stuff (including all the claptrap stuff).
You can use the oggextract program to unpack the sound files (just drag the sound file onto the oggextract.exe).
There’s also 2 videos that were apparently available before the game was released starring the claptrap. A bit of adult language, but I imagine most of you are used to it.

- So sparkly...
- Oranges, purples, rare or not, still crap...
- So much crap, I don't even want to sell it.
- Would be nice if you could reorganize things manually...
- The joys of inventory management
- Also, cars seem to get stuck in weird places
- The driving also leaves a bit to be desired and usually ends up in parking like this
- Also a few "holes" in the design, like this one that drops you outside the map
- The game does have its WTF moments...
Had a whole bunch of other interesting stuff to say, but someone else already said it all better, so just go read this.
