Gearbox Software's Borderlands 2 has shipped 5 million units to date, Take-Two interactive announced this morning in its second quarter financials. The company also noted that XCOM: Enemy Unknown is "proving to be a critical and commercial success." Both games are remarked as having "strong digital sales."

"Take-Two's second quarter revenue and earnings exceeded our outlook, driven by the breakout success of 2K's Borderlands 2 and robust demand for our catalog and digitally delivered offerings," noted Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. "Moreover, with Grand Theft Auto 5 slated for spring 2013, we are poised to generate substantial revenue and earnings growth in fiscal year 2014."

​

The Art of Borderlands 2 is, as you might expect, a hardcover art book that celebrates the look and design of Gearbox's latest gun-grabbing first-person shooter. It's available for preorder right now from Amazon.com, for a discounted price of $25.00, down from the usual cost of $40.00.

If you can't get enough of Pandora and its combat-prone inhabitants, this should help. The book features over 200 pages of concept and production art, along with insight and commentary from the developers on how it all got put together.

The book is set for a publication date of November 5, so there's plenty of time to grab this one and get it wrapped and under the tree for your local gun nut before the holidays.

I didn't finish my first playthrough of this. Unfortunately all that Badass rank glitch stuff starting hitting people and I got too worried about it to get back into the game, and now AC is out and Halo is just around the corner. Hopefully Gearbox will get all the character/save corruption **** under control by the time I come back.

I was almost done the game too, and bought the season pass. I just have no interest in risking a rank wipe.

 

[Balthus Dire]

Apparently it's a very isolated incident. I still play this game daily and have never experienced problems like that. Knock on wood!

 

[Matt Mortem]

Man, True Vault Hunter mode is kicking my ass. I like it though, because it's actually difficult. Playing games that hold your hand through the whole thing is so dull. I'm at lv 48 right now, hoping to give Terramorphous a try by next weekend.

Gearbox revealed an all-new season of Claptrap web series begins today. The first episode goes behind-the-scenes into the production of Borderlands 2.

Almost done with the first Borderlands, got a few Rust Commons missions, then Salt Flats left to go, but then I've gotta get through all the DLC. Loving this game though and can't wait to get started on number 2.

this should make alot of people happy

Borderlands 2 updated to prevent sabotage exploit on Xbox 360

(4 hours ago)

​

The Xbox 360 version of Borderlands 2 was updated today to "prevent data loss" from an exploit caused by a third-party program.

The exploit reportedly could wipe progress or delete characters entirely. At the time, publisher 2K Games and developer Gearbox Software provided a workaround to avoid the exploit.

The Gearbox Software update log noted today: "Added security to prevent data loss tied to malicious violations of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct through an unsupported third-party program."

And that should be that. Happy vault hunting!

Hmm...is that what was causing the loss of Badass ranks or no?

No I think this was a different deal from the bad ass Rank issue. Our own Master chief that post's on the hype warned us of this issue a page over.

A bit of macho man randy Savage in him.

Man, I still have this on my radar and I was hoping to get it by the end of the year, but seeing as how the DLC is still flowing out for this, I'm thinking that maybe it's better to wait for a complete edition.

They're planning on doing DLC well into next year apparently, so it'll be a long wait for a complete edition.

Yeah, the season pass info says DLC will be released through June

 

[SpideyVille]

Well then I guess I'm better off renting the game for the main campaign until then, because I really don't want to pay nearly full price for the game and then more for the pass. I got the original for free on PS+ and finished it, but I didn't renew my account so I'm thinking of buying the GOTY Edition so I can finally play the DLC in that too.

There's just so many other games that I still want to buy/rent but can't at the moment, so I want to make sure I can get as much as I can.

 

[Iceman]

Just ordered this out of the blue (good price only £26 new). I still haven't finished Borderlands 1 though.

well I am still waiting on the GOTY Edition cause I did buy the first and Arkham I bought the Games and then the GOTY Editions came and I wound up picking the latters to finish them up. and I'm just trying to be smart for a change and just pick up the GOTY Edition. when need my fix I head back to the first or one of my buddies lets me play with them on their systems when their not playing.

any way I helped them level up when they picked up the Game late they'll do the same for me when I finally pick this up. it's another cool part about playing this game.

 

[Iceman]

GOTY always the way to go if you can hold out. Don't know any other way of getting a load of DLC so cheap and it doesn't even take up space on your hard drive.

 

[Balthus Dire]

Depends what you want out of your game, though. The problem with GOTY on a game like this is that you miss a huge portion of the online aspect because by the time GOTY comes out people have moved on.

Unless you don't care about doing loot runs and stuff, in which case it wouldn't matter.

Well my brother and I are both waiting for the GOTY edition. We'll be running through it together.

Don't worry my buddies will play. it's not like what happen with latest multplayer. and we played left 4 dead for a very freaking long time. we did the same with the first borderlands it'll be no different for this. be side I think half of the are fallowing my lead. and it's a good test of patience on my part. can't do that with mass effect series and I'm kinda screwed on the Arkham series ,( not co-op or multiplat )as I had to pick up both the first part then the GOTYs after wards. (they were still worth it btw) But this I can do that with and still have all I need when the time arrives.

Yeah, personally for me, I've never been a fan of multiplayer or online play overall, so it doesn't bother me. In fact, I think the only time I played Borderlands online was to get one of the trophies for killing a boss, since I didn't have a second controller.
