GameStop Shows Off Borderlands 2 Pre-Order Bonus

GameStop Shows Off Borderlands 2 Pre-Order Bonus

Moxxi-Approved

Written by osubluejacket on 28 August 12 at 16:26

While many gamers may loathe retailer-specific pre-order bonuses, GameStop typically stays ahead of the curve with some of the sweetest swag. In the case of Gearbox's upcoming Borderlands 2, the song remains the same. As revealed today, gamers who take their business to GameStop will gain access to the Creature Slaughter Dome and an additional weapon, Moxxi's Rocket Launcher.

GameStop


For those who are immediately having flashbacks to Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, I feel for you, but this trailer does not.



Borderlands 2 in all of its Wimoweh glory, Bazillion Guns, Wub Wub, and general drool-inducing excellence will be looting your life starting on September 18th.

EDIT: The Creature Slaughter Dome is also available in the UK from GAME.

Extra content for pre-ordering doesn't bother me, but I'd rather take the $10-15 reduced price offered by other retailers

Well, it does seem to be a major improvement over the disastrous waste of time that was Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. I despise Gamestop though, so hopefully this will be made available as DLC eventually.

Thanks for the quick eyes, Community Members. I did some double checking and found that GAME is also offering the Creature Slaughter Dome as a pre-order bonus.

Be sure to check your national retailers for availability outside the US/UK!

I was hoping this would be an announcement of more loot boxes being available. If anyone has an extra loot box pre-order I will give you $100 just for the loot box.

So what,in three months time the game will be filled with modded weapons and other items. I have no need for retailer specific pre orders.The day I have my $ together and the time to pick up this game, I will do so at the most convienent location for me.

I know as part of the TA community we all frown upon mods and hacks, but I think most of us will agree in the Borderlands universe they fit in quite well and do not hurt anybody. I was duped some really nice multi element weapons in the first game, we all remember hiding behind the rocks all night with infinite shields waiting for that last slice of pizza.
