Re: Borderlands
Speaking of another DLC package... I was just playing online yesterday with someone who was using a Level 70 Soldier! I was like WTF? Then I noticed his PSN ID was "Gearhead"... a possible Gearbox employee maybe?

Finished the game last week along with my nephew. Made it to level 36.
Just installed the DLC disc, do we have to make it all the way half through the game again to access the fast travel to be able to play them or is it available from the get go [Play through 2]?

Re: Borderlands
First, you should be able to pick if you want to go to playthrough 1 or 2 when picking your character after finishing the game once.
Second, you can fast travel to the DLC at anytime during the game from a New-U station. You don't have to have the fast travel quest finished to go to those- but you will need to do that quest in order to fast travel in the main game.

Re: Borderlands
On the PC I see a screen like this:
I don't know what it looks like on the console.
Was someone other than you hosting the game? They may have set which playthrough you were in.

Like TScott says and shows.....when you complete the first playthru, upon startup you are now offered a choice....1st or 2nd. If you choose 1st you'll end up where you last played or saved. Now if you choose 2nd and you haven't started 2nd you'll get the "Fresh Off The Bus" stuff just like you got starting your first playthru.

Thanks--got the Zombie Island last night and plan to get the other 2 too. For $5 each it's hard to go wrong...

Re: Borderlands
You definitely need to get General Knoxx for $5 as it has just an insane amount of content even at the original $10 price. Moxxi is iffy, but I still say it's worth $5.

So I'm assuming we'll get word on DLC#4 & the GOTY ed. after this sale is over. From twitter (via reddjoey on cag):

I just hooked my buddy on Borderlands last night so I'll be sure to pass this info to him as he hasn't bought in yet. Hopefully the uber-edition includes DLC #4

My Borderlands disc that had a crack at the inside has now spread halfway through the disc, well into the data. But thanks to the install on the 360, it still works!

Re: Borderlands
I ended up downloading mad moxxi and general knox. I usually don't buy this much dlc for one game but i figure since i paid $0 for the original game $15 ain't too bad a deal 
For Mad Moxxi should i play it now (lvl 40 siren) or wait till i get top a higher level? I already finished Zombie Island should i just start on General Knox? This is all done on playthrough 1.

It's not going to really matter with Moxxi as you're not awarded with points to level up based on kills or penalized with losing $$$ if you die. It's an arena/horde style play where you face waves with different mods are put into effect. You are awarded with Level up when completing certain stages.
Since you're at Level 40 at 1st Playthru you're fine at Knoxx but expect a few areas that can be challenging. Just make sure you have a good "Fire & Corrosive" mod/weapon. With the Siren use her "Mercenary Mod" with a good Hellfire SMG and she'll do good. I like the "Plague Bearer" mod to but good Corrosive SMG's are so-so at that Level. Besides a Hellfire SMG if you can get your hands on this...you'll do some serious butt kicking.....by the way the better version is Level 61 and packs a bit more punch.
