Yes, but by then, we'll have started playing it a year ago.
Darn, looks like this is UK only.
US Steam is still $29.99.
Not quite, it's just that the US store misses out.

The price is now back up to 29.99.
Now I hope they won't take it out from our inventories and refund us D:

invid is a gentleman and a scholar.
I was a fan of all the DLC for the first one and Im pretty confident they can't do worse than the first Moxie so this should be solid.

Only reason I can't get behind the season pass strategy is that I have no idea if I will still be interested in a game a month or two after it has been released. That is just wasting money if I don't end up using the content.
Well, addendum to what I said earlier. iNvid02 is awesome. Thanks for the hook up on the DLC!!!

I am definitely not purchasing something as fragile as a Season Pass before I even know what is going to be released as DLC.
It will be what they did with Borderlands 1 which had the best DLC for a game that I have ever seen.
Yeah, its position on Steam's Top Sellers chart has dropped like a rock: from 2 to 14.
Those points are so vague and generic it does not inspire confidence at all. They also don't give any indication of quality because, well they haven't been made yet. There is no accountability so the only reason why someone would buy in is if season passes have a good track record. They don't.
Confidence comes from Gearbox and their previous DLC for Borderlands 1. They added some awesome content, with hours more gameplay and plenty of loot, increased level cap, scaling enemies etc, that came as a free update.
When it comes to Borderlands DLC, I trust them. Unless they utterly mess up with BL2 DLC, then I will be purchasing without much question.

It took almost 2 years for Borderlands 1 to hit sub $10 in steam sales... (first time it hit that price was this past Winter sale)
It dropped to 15 though in the summer of 2011

You worded it perfectly. Thanks.
normally i share this same mindset, but I don't think this can apply to Borderlands.
there's a ton of things to do in this game as it is. they even sold DLC for the first one so it's not like this is anything new and considering it had one of the highest attach rates, what did you think? that they were going to pass on DLC?
who is naive enough to think developers don't plan this shit? when people don't plan ahead things turn to shit (see: ME3)
not everyone is BioWare is purposely cuts out portions of the game to sell as DLC so can we give GearBox a break?
Fair enough, if one personally likes the BL1 DLC then they certainly can buy in, but hopefully you can understand why others, who might not have been as enamoured, be apprehensive. I was playing through my GOTY version in anticipation for BL2 but I couldn't make it past Knoxx's Armoury. It was just a lot of driving and those checkpoints with barriers were copypaste and boring. It might just be me playing through them each back-to-back but still, that's my experience.
I can understand that many have been burned by the numerous Season Passes that appear adn see to offer nothing really worth the asking price. If I knew the Borderlands stuff would have been awesome, I would have got a season pass if available. For many it might be better to see what the reception is like, and possibly pick it up on the first sale.
Yep, it boils down to whether you like what you see. That's why I don't like season passes, I can't see anything.
The point I was making is that we have a general understanding of what the DLC will entail -- i.e. you needn't worry about it being as something as insignificant as, say, character skins (See: the Uncharted 3 Season Pass).
While the cynicism is understandable given the general approach to DLC in recent years, I wouldn't go that far. Considering the descriptions, and the DLC that released for the original Borderlands, it's a reasonable assumption that the DLC being referred to in the Season Pass will be comparable.

Everyone who went to the gearbox event got the season pass for free. They also announced that every piece of Borderlands DLC will be $10, but no small crappy stuff. Necromancer will release no later than October 16th, and they also announced they are going to release at least four big DLC expansions with completely new areas, missions, weapons, and more, though possibly a 5th one us fans talked him into starting Scooter. Also they promised us a midget riding a root I believe.

So this is not strictly a Borderlands problem, but it was brought up by my friend who doesn't follow game news, he just plays games. He is preordering his copy of B2 and im's me "whats this season pass thing? are they charging a fee to play it online?". I suppose he hasn't played a game yet that uses season passes and when I started thinking about it, I wondered how often normal (those who don't follow news or pay much attention) people mistake what a season pass actually is? He was almost not going to buy the game because he at first thought the game either required a season pass, or a monthly subscription or something.
Once I started thinking about it, I could see how the name doesn't really explain the service and might confuse people. Hell my mom bought my nephew an online pass for a brand new copy of Uncharted 3 because she didn't know it came with it. All these extra services seem to assume that the consumer is 'in the know' or something.
Thoughts?

how much? I'd pay $20 for it.
In my absent mindedness, I completely forgot(and didn't realize) I had been signed up for the BL2 OT.
I'm currently busy with "stuff" so I want to put the OT back out there for somebody to make. I know this is on a terribly short notice but I hope another bright soul can give BL2 the short n sweet OT it deserves.
Any takers?

Amazon's 10 dollar credit seems to be the best thing going for consoles right now (especially if you plan on picking up Dishonored right around the corner)
The good thing about the Gamestop DLC is all you need is one person with it and you can hop in and join them, so if you're playing with a group of 3 others, just sucker one guy into buying it there

best buy? aren't they giving out $20 coupon if youre a RZ member?
EDIT: oh.. it's the $15 gamer club you have to sign up for first. but it's not bad if you plan to preorder other games i guess lol.

Another season pass? When will gamers learn? Every time people complain about they feel burnt by the quality of the DLC, but that's what you get for payin for unannounced content
