Borderlands Release Date 9/1/09?

Posted on 30. Nov, 2008 by Heretic in Borderlands, GameStop, Release Date

UPDATE!!! We now know that Borderlands will be released in North America on October 20, 2009.

Gamestop employee Fox Makenshi tipped us off that his company's computers updated the Borderlands release date to 9/1/09. Fox thinks this could be the real thing.

I work at GameStop and Borderlands was in our computers for release 2/2/09 until about a week ago when it changed to 9/1/09. I actually think that's not a fake date because 9/1/09 falls on a Tuesday which is the release date of most games. Funny thing is all of our marketing stuff is still telling us to advertise it for 2/2/09.

This is definitely a plausible date. Publisher Take Two has been saying for a while the game will be out by October '09. The lack of marketing for the game right now suggests it will come closer to that date rather than sooner. Maybe this is some of the big news that Gearbox has been promising to release?

Oh man, and I thought it would only be a few more months.  If this is plausible...I mean, not some guess from months ago as it appears to Not be, I can assume this is true.  I saw release dates of March 31 (Amazon.com I believe), and that date as well, but it's frustrating with such little information.  I've been looking forward to this since the summer of 07 (Game informer headline!).  We'll see what happens, just keep yourself occupied, and don't think about it...unless they start to advertise, then release may be closer than we think!

While it would be nice to believe that we have a concrete release date, that is the same site that had "Spring of '08" as a release date for months after it was pushed back. Now its saying Oct. 1st. For now, although it may be a bit cynical, I wouldnt believe anything in terms of a release unless it were to come from a Gearbox associate.

my guess is that it will be the 6th, 13th, 23rd, or 27th because from what i've noticed most games come out on tuesdays, just like most movies come out on thursdays
