Hi everyone, this is Chris Faylor, Community Manager at Borderlands 2 maker Gearbox Software. This Tuesday, October 8th marks the launch of Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition, which is going to pack a ton of content (over $100 worth) for $59.99.

It’s amazing for us at Gearbox to see so many people enjoying the game — after all, it’s your passion that drives us to keep creating new content — and we’re excited that this edition comes packed with all of the season pass content, and more!

This bundle is a great starting point for those that may have missed out on Borderlands 2 the first time around, and it’s the perfect holiday gift for your future co-op partners!

Here’s a look at everything that’s in Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition:

• The award-winning Borderlands 2 main game
• Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty Campaign Add-On
• Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage Campaign Add-On
• Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt Campaign Add-On
• Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep Campaign Add-On
• Krieg the Psycho Character Class
• Gaige the Mechromancer Character Class (as part of the Premiere Club Content)
• Other Premiere Club Content:

  • Golden Key
  • Vault Hunter’s Relic

Creature Slaughter Dome Add-On Collector’s Edition Heads and Skins Contraband Sky Rocket Grenade Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 1

Phew!

Now, in order to celebrate the launch of the Game of the Year Edition, we wanted to do something special. Starting next Friday, October 11th, Gearbox Software and 2K will be hosting the Borderlands 2 $100,000 Loot Hunt.

In partnership with the folks here at PlayStation, Turtle Beach, NVIDIA, and BradyGames, 2K and Gearbox will be giving away tons of weekly prizes — including a grand prize of $50,000 in cold hard cash.

We’ll also have four weekly cash prizes (worth a combined $50,000), along with incredible loot like PlayStation Vitas, and copies of Borderlands 2 Vita when it’s released. Check out the official website for a full list of prizes.

And of course, in addition to all that, you’ll also be able to get unique and legendary drops just by completing in-game objectives! And don’t be surprised if during the course of all this some of the bajillion weapons on Pandora suddenly become even more powerful.

For those of you without internet access or the ability to play Borderlands 2, U.S. residents can enter the sweepstakes by mailing a postcard to the following address:

While the Loot Hunt itself doesn’t kick off until October 11th, you can sign up now and check out the full details and rules by heading over to the sweepstakes website.

Oh, and for those of you that have been asking for more Borderlands 2 downloadable content, you won’t have to wait much longer! The first of the new Headhunter Pack add-ons for Borderlands 2, T.K. Baha’s Bloody Harvest, arrives later this month — look for more details soon!
