Have You Had Trouble Finding Borderlands?
BORDERLANDS WAS SENT TO DIE - Gaming's ever lovable and awful industry analyst, Michael Pachter
Lets not forget the classic, DONT BUY A DS! GAMEBOY 2 IS ON ITS WAY! (I don't actually remember if this one was Pachter or not, but it sounds like something he'd say)
And coming soon to a theater near you: NATAL IS GOING TO BE 50 DOLLARS BECAUSE MICROSOFT SUDDENLY HATES MONEY
Jeff, your rabid fascination with Ice T's Twitter page is starting to worry me.
...Don't stop. It's awesome.
"Well it's not even out in the UK yet so yes, I've had trouble finding the game but it's not for the same reasons. "
It was on sale here in Ontario, atleast Toronto area, for 40 bucks on tuesday. Maybe that has added to the shortage?

And regarding the Natal thing, I doubt it will be that cheap, but considering that Xbox as a brand still hasn't made a profit for Microsoft after 8 years, I'm not really sure how valid that sarcastic remark about money is.

@Kyle:
Please link me were you have got your information that Xbox has not made a profit for Microsoft. You sound fanboyish, because I know for a fact that the gaming division has made profits in multiple quarters since Halo 3 was released and now I will show you how little you really know:

Here in Calgary it was totally sold out at every store. I had to go to a Super Wal Mart in a different smaller town to find one. When I talked to a guy at Future Shop (same thing as Best Buy here in Canada, and owned by Best Buy) he said they were only shipped a few copies and most of those were bought by the staff.
A lot of people don't realize that the Xbox division is grouped in with Zune and some other things...so they use those stats without knowing that. On topic, I will hopefully get my copy today upon returning home.
" Seems like a marketing strategy to create more demand. Of course, now that Borderlands is Ice T endorsed, it's sure to fly off the shelves. "
nothing would make more sense then that.
Just when I thought pre-orders were a waste of time, when I went to pick up my copy they were sold out. Only preorders were left... Location Fenton Michigan GameStop.
I'm not telling you to fall for the pre-order blah blah blah... I only do it to pay off games in advance when I won't have free spending money on release day.
" I'm in Calgary and I wasnt able to find it. It was sold out at every EB Games and most Walmarts. "have you tried HMV? their website says they have 4 somewhere in calgary. Try calling them up.
Sounds like how Demon's Souls was for me down here in Orlando. The week that game came out it was sold out everywhere by the 3rd day. I know because I went to a few stores to find it and turned up empty handed at most of them. That was more of an issue of no one ordering many copies because they didn't think it would be so wildly popular.
The neighborhood game place was sold out by the time I got there at 11:30-ish (am). Didn't really want to go to Gamestop for it, but I made plans with a bunch of my friends to play pretty much all day, so I didn't want to wait. I live in New York City.
I was quickly reminded of why I hadn't gone to a Gamestop for almost a year. A long and slow line, capped off with a hearty session of fending off the preorder and strategy guide assault.
Yeah, this is getting fucking ridiculous now. I've searched every Futureshop, Best Buy, EB, Source, HMV, Zellers, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, Roger's Video, tiny video game store, from Downton through to York Region, Vaughn and beyond, and even online at Amazon.ca, BB and FS, and I still can't get this damn game. My online buddies have had it for almost a week now, and haven't touched it yet, waiting for me to get a copy. I'm so sick and tired of looking for it." Up here in Toronto there is a city wide problem and no stores will have copies until tomorow "
The worst part is NO ONE can give me an answer as to when they're getting more. On the 6th day of my search (yesterday) my fiance had to pull me out of an EB. The cock-jockey behind the counter played the "should have pre-ordered it" schtick on me and my frustration boiled over. The game did pop-up for purchase on BB.com and FS.com last night for a couple hours, but with regular shipping, the game wouldn't arrive until November 2nd, and not until the 29th with $12 more worth of shipping, which is again, too ridiculously long to wait.
I'm to the point where I don't even want to buy it, just because of how fucked this whole ordeal has been.
