Greetings, cheapskate traveler!
This week's Xbox 360 "Deal of the Week" can save you a bunch of dough on all of the available downloadable content for Gearbox's Borderlands. Right now, the game add-ons "The Secret Armory of General Knox," "Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot" and the "Zombie Island of Dr. Ned" are 400 MS Points a piece. That's 50% off the regular price, and guess what? They're all pretty good! Want some info on "Dr. Ned" and "Mad Moxxi"? Go here!
Going to pick them up this week, or has your money already been spent and now you're patiently waiting for the announcement of Borderlands 2? I mean, that's going to be a thing, right? Please?

I bought it because my friend expressed interst but is too cheap to buy it for anything more than 25 bucks...which just ain't happening here.
Plus admittedly I wasn't all that impressed by the game. It's okay.....I guess I was expecting more RPG elements ala Fallout 3
Sold. Times two.
(Seriously though, RAGE looks like an HD Borderlands/fun)
See what I did there.....
Mad Moxxi isn't worth it?
If you like killing lots of enemies in an arena style environment, you'll like it initially, or even long term.
However, you don't get any experience for each kill, and you'll kill a thousand (if not thousands) of enemies. Making it worse, the enemies stay scale to your level, so that's even more experience you could have been getting per kill. If you die at the end of a mission, that's 30-40 minutes worth of arena killing you have to do over again.
That's all the DLC consists of.
Basically, if play Borderlands for the killing aspect of the game, and totally disregard the RPG aspects, you'll love it. You get a few cool items.
General Knox is absolutely worth it. :D
Avoid Moxxi like the plague. DO NOT support this shit. There are bad dlcs, there are short dlcs, there are dlcs that are "not worth it", this dlc goes beyond all that... it is an utter piece of shit. I've downloaded many disappointing dlcs over the years, but this by FAR takes the cake.
And yeah. The only reason to get Moxxi is to get the Achievements. The actual gameplay in it is incrediboring.
... I have the PS3 version.
