Pre-ordering a digital copy of Gearbox Studios’
Borderlands through Steam is an easy way to knock a few bucks off the purchase. Instead of dishing out about 50 hard-earned bones, eager reservers can steal the title at 45 bones. Not bad, but also not the only deal available. According to the
Steam page for Borderlands, those buying four copies of the game can do so at a lean $134.97 instead of $149.97.
Question is: why the hell would someone buy four copies of the game? To enjoy the multiplayer, of course. While possessing a fully playable single-player experience, the post-apocalyptic RPS also has a beefy four-player cooperative mode, which seems to be the ideal way to explore the shoot-happy title.
So, if you have three bum friends, save fifteen bucks by getting in on this deal while it’s hot. Aside from being a hip pal, getting in on this would make you something of a metal Jesus, giving out games instead of bread or whatever.

Its a great deall to get the game for like 34 bucks. That is if you split the price with 4 friends.
Plus the box art is insanely awesome.
And I doubt the DRM will be too bad, Gearbox didn't seem to be a big fan of it, so I'm sure they've left any non Steam DRM out of that version if possible.
As excited as I am for this game, looks like I'll be waiting for a price drop or sale on individual copies until I pick it up.
Now i have a full team to play with at launch
