Was it released earlier for the Xbox? Cause when I pre-ordered it, it said it wont be released until the 23rd.

20th is for NTSC regions, PAL regions get it 23rd.

Is there much replayability or will we pretty much be putting this down after we finish it?

Really no replayability? Is it pretty linear? How much ended up being randomly generated and how much was set areas?

It somewhat adds replay value, but the thing for replay is the fact that by the time you finish the games storyline you're not actually at the Level Cap. So there's a New Game+ mode where you go through again, at your current level (you don't retain your items or anything) but everything has been levelled up to your level or higher. So weapons you get will now be far stronger (even the quest items that were weak in first playthrough), enemies are stronger and more numerous and the Badasses are now way fucking stronger, etc.

So I guess there is some replay value in that, and depending what they do for DLC (excluding Zombie Island thingy) it could end up being quite replayable.

You do keep your weapons in new game+, the enemies and loot is just better.

Treasure chests in the game are static so they're always in the same spot. What they generate is random though. You'll be at about level 35 after the first playthrough. And you can duel each other in the arena but it's not like deathmatch in a real fps game.

fallout 3's cap was 20. or 30 with broken steel installed.

unless by "fallout 3" you mean "a level cap lower than 99" in which case games have been doing that forever.

My bad.... my comparison turned in to a epic fail.

I'm one of those guys that hate Lv caps that are below 99.

One thing I like about RPG"s is wasting a massive amount of time trying to max out everything and get every thing that is hidden. Also the feel after you max them out like you can cut thru anything. The reason I stopped playing Fallout 3 was because of the fucking cap. I hit Lv 20 and still Death Claws can R.Y.A.N.O (Rip You A New One)

I was mad for the fact that I wasn't even near the end of the game when I hit the cap and now every enemy I come to, is a waste of time and ammo... If I was getting XP for my next Lv I wouldn't mind but for the fact that they put a cap of 20 for a big massive environment that will take you countless hours to explore over meslie Lv cap of 20 was ridiculous and it killed the experience for me.

Agreed about Fallout, once I hit lv 20 I wasnt sure what else there was to do.

Been reading up on Borderlands inside other forums and have come across a few things that concern me, especially the duplicating glitch. The game hasnt been out for very long and already a few glitches have been found as well as some modding going on. Cant understand how the duplicating glitch was missed.. drop all your gear, disconnect from the game, re-enter and pick up the duplicates in co-op.. Im just worried I'll try to play online only to find everyone else geared with rare duplicates. Has anyone who's tried this online come across this?

I forgot to add that fallout 3 was the first RPG that I found that wasn"t an mmoRPG that had a cap.

26th for NTSC. Not sure for PAL.  Also, pre-loads on Steam have started, but the servers are at full load, so good luck getting it to download.

Pretty sure that NTSC and PAL region codes do not apply to the PC version but thanks for the information on the release date.

They don't, but they have seperate release dates for whatever reason. I'm just going on wikipedia though.
