About
Generally, I like things, unless I don't, in which case, something is probably wrong with that, in my view of said things.

I currently enjoy platformers, TF2, L4D2, Skyrim, Disgaea, and more!

[UPDATE]: I just found a respone from Valve on the forums, stating that the problem is that they are out of Mad Moxxi DLC codes right now. It could be as late as Monday before they get more. They still have codes for the other DLC that requires them, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. The game itself should be playable now, though.

Original Post:

If any of you are tempted by Borderlands: GOTY Edition being 75% off ($7.50!) this weekend, you may want hold off for the time being. Why? Because currently, almost everyone who has bought it is having some major issues right now, as they apparently cannot connect to the key server to obtain their CD keys. I've been looking around the steam forums and have been seeing the exact same thing happening to them, as well.

I'm posting this here because as I speak, there seems to be no response from either Valve, Gearbox, or 2K Games about this issue, and I am hoping that the more people know about this, the quicker this gets fixed. After all, we just want to play the game that we just bought. Please spread the word about this.

This is why people will have to pry my physical, retail games from my cold, dead hands.
Ditto pedro(though I bought Borderlands about a year ago off steam.)
Good to know, thanks!
Who has been living in a cave the last two years and not played Borderlands 1 yet anyway?! I actually had a lot of fun with Moxxi's, though it should have been $5 not $10.

@Pedro:
I sympathize with you somewhat, but like it or not I think it's game over for physical media. Just looked back and saw you wrote a blog about DRM/Steam/digital/etc. I'll have to give it a read later this weekend, maybe I can write a response of sorts, linking back to your blog. Then you'd be free of course to write another blog in response. We've sparred a bit about this in news comments, but I want to go read your extended take on things :)
I don't really think it's game over as it's still a significant portion of sales (you can get all these games physical as well, I have borderlands GOTY physical). Also if ISPs every gay up and start across the board charging for bandwidth I think you'll see people will be less receptive of digital :P

Also consoles are a fair long way off from getting physical releases.

Is it the future? Probably. Is physical down and out for the count? Not for a while....
