Looks like someone (*cough* Fragland *cough*) jumped an embargo gun on the next bit of Borderlands downloadable content.
Called "Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot," the DLC will feature three new "Riot Arenas," along with new storage spaces. The storage spaces will allow you to store a ton of weapons without having to sell them and then later buy them back. Neat.
The DLC is said to be available on Xbox LIVE on December 29 for 800 MS Points, with PlayStation Network getting the content on January 7 for $9.99. Oh, and it's coming to the PC, too.
While the validity of this info is in question (Fragland has since pulled the info), that circus chick is just too slutty for this not to be real. More like "MoXXXie," am I right guys!?

[Update: 2K Games and Gearbox have made it officially official, officially announcing the thing officially. All of the details above still stand with a few extras details.
The DLC will add the ability to acquire two additional skill points as quest rewards, for instance. The new "Riot Mode" arenas sound like Gears of War 2's "Horde Mode" -- "players will endure an onslaught of Pandora's baddest enemies."
The officially official PR is after the jump, if you're into that kind of thing. Oh, also two new images and a logo are in the gallery!]
2K Games Announces Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, the Next Explosive Piece of Downloadable Content for Borderlands™
New York, NY - December 10, 2009 – 2K Games announced today that the second piece of downloadable content for Borderlands™, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, will be available on December 29, 2009 from the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points and on January 7, 2010 from the PlayStation®Network for $9.99. The downloadable content will also be available on Windows PC. This explosive piece of action-driven content is in development at Gearbox Software and provides players with more methods of destruction as they tear through the denizens of Pandora.
Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot is an intense single-player or cooperative experience that expands the mayhem by adding three new Riot Mode arenas where players will endure an onslaught of Pandora’s baddest enemies. Working together, players will fend off the masses as they fight for fame, honor, and more importantly, loot. Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot also adds a new bank feature, which allows players extra storage capacity for when they encounter one of the more than 16 million weapons that Borderlands has to offer; and the ability to acquire two additional skill points as quest rewards, making their characters even more powerful than before.
Featuring extensive co-op integration that seamlessly blends the single-player and multiplayer experiences, Borderlands allows players to freely join or leave each other’s games at any time for collaborative mayhem or the freedom to choose to play in full single-player mode to experience the world on their own. Borderlands also includes a groundbreaking weapon generation system that offers a near infinite variety of weapons to the player. Borderlands combines these fan favorite features with addictive non-stop action to form a breakthrough experience that challenges the conventions of modern shooters and RPGs.
Borderlands™, rated M for Mature by the ESRB, is developed by Gearbox Software and is currently available for the PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, the first piece of downloadable content for Borderlands, is currently available for all platforms.

Soooo wish I bought L4D2 instead of this. Fucking lying cunts. PC support my ass.
RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!!
Still level 50. Just sayin'
Also, I hope these new arenas don't require co-op.
The storage locker is a nice improvement, but we need more loot or more leveling to make it worth while. I'll still buy it because I want to support Gearbox and I want a sequel, but it's time to add to the foundation of the game at this point.
The game was a constant copy and paste of itself, and had one of the lowest level caps ever conceived. On top of that, they want you to pay for more copy and pasted DLC, as well as things that should have been in the game in the first place (storage).
Also, I wonder if Mikey Neumann did the mo-cap for Moxxi.
@pascuz46 - of course you can get the enemies' weapons it just depends if you hit the drop rate %. You can even see wisually if an enemy has a "special" weapon. If you kill that enemy he will drop the gun as loot for you to collect. Simple as that :)
On a side note, I like the concept of DLC, I really do. But there's a tiny part of me which kind of wish for Expansion Packs to come back (You know - those a'la Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction...-ish). And yes - I am aware that Expansion Packs do still come out for some games - it's just that I have a feeling that thru the years they come out in smaller and smaller numbers. Ah, sweet sweet nostalgia.
Oh, you mean like the Warden's Keep DLC from Dragon Age: Origins? Seven bucks and I was done with it in about an hour. On the other hand, the Zombie Island DLC kept me occupied for at least 8 hours, just taking my time and enjoying it. More of the same is fine for Borderlands IMO.
This better up the level cap.
I JUST started playing the game. Good lord, the level scaling is fucking putrid. That's why I host my own until I hit max level.
I'll buy and play your DLC when you give me back the skill points you robbed from my level 32 berzerker when all I did was join my friend's game.
Bastards.
if so, LAME.
*shrug* that's just the way the operation made her?
While I agree with a lot of posters here (level raise, and DirtyHobo's suggestion), more content for a game that I really enjoy is awesome.
I´m glad you mentioned they silenced their fans on their forums. Anybody said anything bad about the game, banned. I went and started a thread in the News section the day the first DLC came out, asking what it was like, and instead of getting my thread moved, I got banned because "my thread was in the wrong section".
I have no idea why they went and banned so many people. They were banning people for criticizing/stating obvious faults in the game. If they think they can silence voices by banning people on their forums, maybe they forgot people that go on their forums go on others, too. Bans don´t fix their game, nor do they lead to improvements in future DLC or in BL 2.
That's the "kill them now, let god sort them out" approach that happens on pretty much ANY forum when it gets flooded (and GB's forum was getting flooded)
It's essentially internet Martial Law for mods so users will get back in line.
@ Wedge
They kind had their hands full at the time, PC gets to wait in line, sucks but it's true
