tweeted that Borderlands is selling out. Good news for them if true. Don't know if it is an indication of huge demand or just a small first print, but good news none the less.
I think they purposefully didn't ship a lot of copies to build some buzz about it selling out. This seems to be a fairly under the radar game for a lot of people, and with the video posted for this in the PC forum where they make fun of the mainstream/casual gamer, I think its a marketing ploy. I'm not saying its bad, as they're going up against some heavyweights (Halo, Call of Duty) so they're going to need all they can get. Then again, maybe this really is a game meant for the "real" gamers and sales aren't the focus.
