I liked Borderlands...but I think it had a huge number of glaring flaws that needed to be addressed, and never were. As for the DLC, zombie island was just one long grinding session, Underdome was a waste of time, Secret armoury was, for the most part, another slog through boring environments, and Robot Revolution was good, only for the fact that is fixed the issues of previous DLCs with a fast travel option...but even so, I'm not shelling out thirty euro for a frigging season pass.
I learned from Mortal Kombat, no season passes, if I like it, I'll pay for it, but I'm not supporting something that requires money up-front with no prior knowledge of the product, or what it will entail. So I think the season pass is a scheme banking on blind loyalty...something I don't have towards any developer.

This requires having faith in Gearbox. The same people who said DNF was going to be good. They're not as bad as EA but certainly not worth taking a $30 gamble, especially considering the original's DLC.
I don't like season passes myself but I can see the appeal to diehard fans of a game. Also, if this includes the mechromancer DLC it's redundant for those who pre order.
Meh, I'll just play the vanilla and pick up the GOTY for the DLC when it's like $20. I got the Borderlands GOTY a year and a half ago for $10 from BB and then gave the vanilla to a friend.
I don't pay for things in advance. Especially software, and especially in today's market. I'd rather wait till the DLC releases and see if I find it interesting. I might only want one piece of the DLC.
Pay in advance and get Mad Moxxi's Underdome Part 2 for free!? I know that's not ACTUALLY the DLC but man, if they made another one of those and I paid for it (again) I'd be livid.
Fucking Seasons Passes. Fuck off.

I love Borderland's DLC except for the Underdome Riot, but even that was still pretty fun playing with my friends. I am most likely going to buy all of the DLC anway so I guess I am going to get the pass.
Mechromancer is key here. If that is one of 4 content drops, then this isn't a deal at all for pre-order customers. 'Twas a bit annoying to see EA pump Karkand as part of the value proposition for BF3 premium, when a lot of folks already owned it. Selling the same thing twice may be good for the bottom line but it isn't pro-gamer.
I've pre-ordered this game, but eh I don't know about season passes. I honestly don't care. I bought and fucking regretted the uncharted 3 pass because the MP turned to hardcore ballbusting BS months after. I got the first BL for $15 with all DLC on PSN but then that had a game trial error so a year later all that was taken away from me and I could only get the game separate refunded. Well in any case DLC-wise, I didn't care since I had a whole game to play before the DLC. At the end of my second playthrough, some dipshit with the glitched mission asked me to join him and (him being the host) dropped all of his fucking DLC missions from the Armory to the Revolution DLC's into my log and guess what happened when I left that session? I got stuck with a shitload of unorganized missions that I, myself, didn't have the pleasure of Discovering on my own by exploring the world and a glitched mission that won't get off my log.
I don't care about glitched missions in the next game (as long as they're side quests) but I do care about the Care Package of missions that the Host drops and me (and STICKS WITH ME). I'm actually worried about playing Borderlands with other people because even replaying thru again I didn't want my missions spoiled. Yeah something's wrong with I'm actually worried about playing a co-op heavy game with other people.

Depends on your definition of complete. In my experience, games that feel complete in and of themselves tend to have better DLC than those that have the stink of cutting content just to sell it for extra money. Borderlands was most definitely a complete before the DLC, I see no reason to think the same won't be true for part 2.
That said, I only liked two of the four DLC packs released for the original. The only reason I would even consider this season pass is because I got the main game for $12 thanks to some credit I had on Amazon.

There is just a subset of the population that assumes that every DLC, ever made, by any developer, was all cut out of the shipping game.
They must also believe that developers hit a big red "Launch" button on midnight of their region's street date, and discs magically appear on the shelves, certified and shrink wrapped. Because the concept artists were really needed for that final second on the core game, to draw the cover art with magical crayons at that very moment.

This game is gonna be so awesome when I get it next year for $20-30 with all the DLC... too many other full games I can get this year.
I'd be happier with season passes if they were included in the limited edition versions at no extra charge.
DDS said it best. We're at tough times and it would be nice for devs to throw us a bone when we dish unnecessary cash at them when they do stuff like this.
This makes me not want to buy the game, even for only $50 with another $10 in credit for a future order.
I wonder if the season pass covers the arena dlc that comes with a gamestop preorder.

Season Passes are alright by me. Yes, there's a risk that the DLC might be bad, but at least you know that going into it. It's really not that far off from a normal pre-order, except potentially better since there's a discount involved.
Or I could just get the complete/GOTY/whatever edition for 30$ in a couple months. It's like publishes actually don't want you to buy their games at launch.
I remember the Saints Row 3 season pass. I wanted the game, but couldn't justify it. I eventually picked it and pretty much all of the DLC through multple Steam sales. I played the heck out of the game and I'm mostly done with it now. At the end of the day, I paid around $50 or less for everything because Saints 3 had a lot of DLC. A Borderlands 2 GOTY edition will be on my shopping list, but a day1 buy is simply not in the cards. I have plenty to play already, so why rush to pop this game in my queue when I know I don't have time to play it?
