    Does anyone know if the Borderlands GOTY trophies/achievements are different from the original game? I platinumed  the original and I don't have it anymore, but now I've been itching to play it. And I'm wondering if the trophies are different because if so I might just but the GOTY edition.

    I think it's one game...don't quote me on it.

    It's not like Batman.

    Same game. You wont get any more trophies. The DLC is not on the disk. You will get a voucher to down load it.

    It's the same game, you just get the codes to download all the DLC for the game.

    That pissed me off about Batman. All I wanted to do was get a couple more achievements that I had missed before. So I picked up the GOTY edition on the cheap, and lo and behold, it's an entirely new set of achievements.

    @KaosAngel:  @The_Laughing_Man:  Thanks guys. I probably will just borrow it from a friend than instead of buying GOTY edition. Maybe they wouldn't mind going half and half on Underdome and Claptrap and game share it.


    @PrivateIronTFU: Maybe to get pumped for Arkham City I'll buy GOTY edition and go through it again on hard, just one quick play through.

    @The_Laughing_Man: But I'm a fan of stuff like Ratchet Deadlocked and love those arena type stuff. Is it really not worth it at all. even if I pay for half and game share with a friend?

    @Interfect: Yeah, that's pretty much what I did. It really doesn't take long at all. That game is much shorter than I remember. Maybe because the first time I was scrounging for Riddler Trophies and such.

    Underdome is the worst DLC I have ever seen. This is far from Deadlock. This is near 3 days worth of the same shit over and over and over. No money. No EXP. No weapon skill increase.

    They have actually released a version of this that comes with the DLC on the disc.  This is relatively new.  You can tell if the package does not state that it comes with tokens to download the dlc.

    Don't know about the achievements though.
