Rumblings on Gearbox Software's official message board recently indicated that there was a significant problem with the PS3 version of the game. Friends weren't able to join other friends for some wicked PSN-fueled cooperative action. But that issue is no more -- it has been crushed by Gearbox Software technical wizardry.
In a statement just released to the press, Gearbox's marketing VP Steve Gibson said the PSN friends list problem has been identified and resolved. He noted that PS3 owners should be able to rock out with their bros starting now without having to download a patch -- this was an invisible fix on the server side.
Word on the street is that Gearbox used little electric demons -- not tech dudes -- to clean and bandage the server's wounds, which can be attributed, perhaps, to Borderlands bangin' sales.
"We hope that no other issues crop up," Gibson said in the statement, "but the success of Borderlands is exceeding our expectations and there are more players at launch than we expected. In any case, we plan to continue support of Borderlands on all platforms in case anything else crops up."
The developers behind the original Borderlands discuss their last-second Hail Mary to change the course of the franchise.
ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.
"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"
Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.
No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)
So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
Wow, good job, Gearbox! Glad to see they fixed the issue so quickly and efficiently! I was afraid it was going to be another broken PS3 port. Guess not! :-D
..if Gamespot changes their PS3 review score. Cause this was a damn quick fix, no need for Gamespot to let old information sit there and misinform potential buyers.
It works for my friend. :-/ He's playing co op as I write this comment.
good job gearbox... the game is awesome by the way
Well at least Gearbox isn't like Bethesda with the PS3 version of the fallout games. Hopefully I'll pick up this game soon.
