VERY deceptive
First off, the game Borderlands is an amazing game, very worth of purchase.
This review is rating the PRODUCT, not the game.
The product says that it includes all 4 DLC (Downloadable Content) packs. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Instead of actually including the software on the disc, like the Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot & The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned add-on pack, it instead gives you a link and a code to gearbox's website, where it wants you to individually download all 4 of the DLCs (weighing in at approximately 1.5 to 2 GB per DLC, in .ZIP format).
Now typically, I wouldn't be too bothered with this, aside from having to wait about an hour or so for EACH DLC to download. However, I'm a service member deployed in Afghanistan. Given our already shoddy internet, it would take no less than 9 HOURS per DLC, and that's assuming it will even download properly (I'm on try #3 with The Secret Armory of General Knoxx right now, 10 hours down the drain).
If you're going to advertise saying "This product contains the following content", then it damn well better contain the aforementioned content, instead of a voucher saying "This really doesn't have the content, but you can go here to get it!".
Again, Borderlands is a GREAT game, but this is a TERRIBLE product.
