I can't wait, but I hope Gearbox listens when I say Borderlands needs the following things

* An in game trading system
* A loot rolling system, so players can roll the dice to see who wins rare loot
* End game boss runs for extremely rare loot that require cooperative strategy and a balance of different characters to complete.
* A locker to store all of your extra guns
* More claptrap storage packs
* More bizarre and creative gun attributes (like the wave shotgun) that are randomly incorporated into the attributes of gun drops.
* Rare loot that you can win from defeating other players in competitive multiplayer duels/matches, etc.

The game is already awesome and addictive, but the addition of these things would put it over the top.

Have they announced all the details for this yet? Like what exactly the content will be? Hopefully a level cap raise, along with maybe a new weapon manufacturer or something. Just adding more content when you're maxed out is kinda blah.

This might have already been answered, but if you're in a party, does everybody have to own the expansion in order to play it?

@Mister Jack started the Save The Lombax Foundation: I would imagine so. I can't think of a game with DLC that you could share with other players online.

@Mister Jack started the Save The Lombax Foundation: ah is that so, I didnt enjoy that game enough to get any DLC for it. I did however turn my game on before I traded it in and collected billions of dollars on my save. should I ever want to play again Ill be able to buy anything.

This is the perfect excuse for me to get back into Borderlands as I've been gaming it up with newer releases.

How good is borderlands people?
I love the fact that its co-op but I have like every fps thats been out on the ps3. Is the co-op split screen experience worth it? #borderlands

@alexdiaz: Borderlands is incredible. Co-op is verticle split screen... Multiplayer is totally fun... and single player is fun also. I love this game like I love my kids...

Ok, but I want more claptrap inventory slots, a better inventory trading system, and perhaps a locker in New Haven -- or on this Island of Dr. Ned -- where I can store my excess weapons. Oh yeah, and I want more crazy weapons, like that shotgun in the beginning of the game that fired in a wave like pattern. I like creative and crazy.

@DugDawg: I second the motion for more creative and crazy. It'd be nice if they had DLC packs that introduced new parts into the gun generation procedure.

I just want more borderlands in general. #borderlands

Damnit, now I'm kind of torn -- I was planning on trading in Borderlands towards the New Super Mario Bros. Wii (because I really didn't have much fun starting to play through it a second time and I don't care for the MP), but now I kind of want to hold on until the DLC. #borderlands

I still use the 12 gig. I make room for things, I organize, delete the games I don't ever play anymore. Pretty dam intense. I still manage for DLC like 64 Rock band songs, and both DLC for GTA4. #borderlands

@PanicDriver:

Yeah, (and not to brag), I have about 400. It's literally my entire hard drive. I've had to delete multiple South Park/It's Always Sunny Episodes, Street Fighter II HD, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Soul Calibur, Trials HD, both Worms games, both Geometry Wars, and Assault Heroes to make room. (And I couldn't get Shadow Complex.)

I know you can buy the HD upgrade, but then I would have to re-download 400+ rock band songs (and I have since gotten rid of the Rock Band 1 disc, so I'd have to buy that again so I could get the songs again). That, and it's waaaayyyy to expensive, considering the ?60 gb? is standard now. Damnit. #borderlands

@Strangelove: When you buy the larger capacity 360 HDD it comes with a special cable that you use to transfer all of your data from your old HDD to the new one. So you wouldn't have any issue with re-downloading all your Rock Band tracks or finding another new copy of RB1 to get the transfer code again. #borderlands

I just glanced online, and the 120 gb hard drive that comes with the transfer cable is $150. Maybe $100 I could justify, but $150? That's half the price of an elite! #borderlands

@Strangelove: Yeah, I upgraded from the 20 gig to the 120 gig hard drive and it was a snap. Pop in a transfer disc, stick that cable between those two drives, run the thing, voila! Sell your old hard drive to cover some of the costs! Hooray! #borderlands

I'm still on my first run so I'll be getting this. A portable stash (similar to Sacred 2's Carrier Imp) would be nice too.

Screw DLC.

Work on unlocking the damn PC graphical options via in game menus.

Rewriting the ini files gets old after a while. #borderlands

The real issue I have is that I have so many magazine size upgrades that whenever I go to a menu, my clips end up short. Even if I just reloaded my gun, I go to check the map and then I'm like 4 rounds short in my clip. Annoying as hell.

And the elemental effects really slow the game down. I almost wish my friends didn't have it on 360 (which I then had to get it for) so I could've gotten it on PC. #borderlands
