The retail release of Borderlands is right out, thanks to a poor decision to infe--err, attach SecuROM to the standalone release. Fortunately, the Steam version doesn't (so far as my research indicates) have SecuROM attached.
Paying $50 for a game is right out, at least right now. Unemployment is uncool like that.
But I do have a bit of gift money tucked away for Black Friday. Is it possible there will be a sale on the Steam version of Borderlands then? I suppose.
But in case there isn't, I considered the possibility of finding 3 other community members I can trust to go in together on a 4-pack. A Borderlands 4-pack costs $150. Divided by 4, that's $37.50 per copy. That's $12.50 off the standard retail price.
I'm getting ready to drop $10 on Mass Effect here in a few minutes, so I may think otherwise about buying Borderlands, even at a discount, come tomorrow. I may end up waiting until Black Friday for any more game purchases after all. But if there are 3 other people interested in buying the Steam version of the game, we could at least discuss the possibility.
Of course, it's also quite possible that everyone on these forums who wanted to buy Borderlands has already done so or is waiting for a more substantial sale (say, $39.99?).
