So want this game, but alas I just took a break from Demon's Souls to beat Uncharted 2 (which got done over the weekend) and next week is Ratchet. Demon's Souls will probably keep me going till at least Modern Warfare 2(used) and then who knows. This game will probably be getting tossed into the x-mas list with Katamari Forever and Brutal Legend.

Glad to see they fixed this so quickly although how did they miss something on their end with so much QA testing?

i too am breaking from demon souls to play uncharted, trying not to blaze trhough, spending some quality multiplayer time with it.

Will be getting borderlands on payday though. For sure.

Go Gearbox!

Well, this seems to be one of the few good games that hasn't had many major bugs so far.

Freezing in the online lobby happened to you too? I thought it was something wrong with my PS3.

Didn't know there as a problem, but it's nice to see it fixed so quickly.

I really want to encourage all of you thinking of putting this game off to sincerely reconsider that. I too have Demon's Souls and Uncharted 2, but I'm making this game #1 right now because I believe creativity and innovation DESERVE to be rewarded. Plus it's tremendously fun! Take a risk if your on the fence, you just may be glad you did. Borderlands may pave the way for some MORE new IP's if it does well. The market is flooded with the same ol same ol, this is your chance to change that.

TripleZer0 - it's a widespread problem, people were bitching about it in the gearbox forum .

Wow, no patch on the client required, and fixed in about 24 hours after the problem became realized? Seems to me then that the issue then was squarely with the matchmaking/hosting servers setup at GameSpy, or wherever. Their production servers were probably somehow configured differently then their test environment, and when they flipped over, it caused problems.

I think a few (I said a FEW!) PS3 owners owe Gearbox an apology for completely unsubstantiated claims that arose out of this issue, about how they are just "lazy" or that they "decided to not care about the ps3 version," etc, when the problem seems more a direct result of the way Sony handles online gaming. Sure, Live has it's issues now and then, but c'mon folks, you get what you pay for. Praising the way Sony provides free but disjointed online gaming with one breath, and then crucifying devs when there is a hiccup that was able to manifest itself as a result of that online model with the next, is just stupid. Selfish, even.

Having said that though, I can certainly understand the frustration of not being able to play 4 player co-op with your friends in a game that practically demands it, so I'm glad to see that this issue was able to be ironed out so quickly for the PS3 user base. I've been having a blast with 4 player online co-op, as well as the single player. It's an extremely fun game to play, as well a beautiful one to look at!
