Borderlands PS3 Patch Fixes Major Friends List Problem
BorderlandsWhile entertaining, Borderlands has its fair share of problems. However, Gearbox said immediately after the game released that they were aware of some of the PS3 issues and planned to address them.
They've done just that with a patch that is now available for the PS3 version. One of the biggest problems revolved around the Friends list on the PSN and with this new invisible update, we shouldn't have to worry now; it has been fixed "with no need to fiddle with anything." Gearbox still says they will continue to "support all platforms as issues crop up" and that support will undoubtedly include some downloadable content, which is on the way. They've already announced that the first batch should drop later this year, but above all else, PS3 owners want to have the same experience 360 owners have, which can sometimes be difficult (depending on the developer). For the record, Arnold had other issues with the game that don't center on the Friends list problem, so this fix-it patch doesn't magically bump up the overall score by half a point or something. I will be doing a second opinion review of sorts some time this week, simply due to the amount of controversy surrounding Borderlands (it seems to be everywhere around the Internet).
But anyway, at least this patch came out early enough so if you haven't picked up the game just yet, you have less reason to worry if you want it for your PS3.

How are you feeling these days? I read on the past posts that you are having some health issue :(
If you been getting the flu and it looks like its gone and then it comes back, try to keep taking the medicine for a while longer, even after you felt better already. I find that some virus just fake it and if you stop taking your medicine it comes back with a vengeance...
My health is been screwing with me this whole year as well. Lost 20% of my vision on my right eye in June and today I had surgery to remove a tumor om my neck, thinking it could be cancer I was very happy when my doctor called me just 4 hours later to let me know that most likely, 99% its not cancer but then, he dropped the bomb on me... it's almost sure to be TB :(
I'll have to be quarantined at home for the next two weeks until the treatment start.
Anyways, hope you get rid of your flu soon!

...but i also have to say that i too have already sunk neary a dozen hours in to this game and havent found a stitch of slowdown, or any other errors apart from a lil screen tearing. i havent tried CoOp yet, but does look like its fixed, i assume it was broken.
this imo is one hell of a game, its challenging and certainly not over in 8 hours. its certainly NOT everyones cuppa, and you have to take that on board, but personally i think its very good! and i actually love the graphics too. maybe if i had followed this game from the start that i too would be disappointed, but i didnt and im not. i think its a refreshing thing to have cell shading in a FPS, XIII was awesome, so for me its a most welcome look.

i was so excited for this game seeing its almost the same as fallout 3 and i love fallout 3.
could of not started worse, upon putting in the disk i had to download the 3.01 FW update which took forever because my nets dead slow.
so instead of being 3 days behind schedule im now 4.
than i boot up the game, choose my character than 3 times in a row i get the games corrupted and had to delete the game from my HDD and try again.
4th time lucky and everything was sweet, it was exactly how i expected but better than fallout 3 i was so happy.
the intro made me piss myself laughing, the little robot is so funny.
than the repetitive enemies came in O god i have NEVER swore so much in the space of 1 hour.
enemies just keep respawning, like WHAT THE FUC**NG HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i kill 10 enemies so 10 more appear so i kill those to so another 10 appear so i kill thoes 10 so another 10 appear so i kill those 10 so another 10 appear so i kill those 10 so another 10 appear so i kill those 10 so another 10 appear.
JESUS %$#@$^$ CHRIST GIVE IT A BREAK ALREADY!!!!!
GEARBOX WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, HOW IS THIS FUN???????????
seriously though, how is that fun?
how am i suppose to get to the next objective let alone complete it if i have to stop every 3 seconds to kill a enemy.
its easy and everything, you have plenty of supplies but how are you suppose to travel a distance if you have to stop every 5 seconds.
its like driving from Melbourne to Brisbane but stopping every 10 minutes its going to take FOREVER!
i like pointless mindless killing for the sake of it as much as the next guy but theres a line.
and gearbox you dident step over it, you LEAPED! over it.

for example im at the mission where you have to search those plants for 8 pods,the last one is in the cave towards the top near the drop next to a weapon crate.
i collected them all but wanted to open the crate to see what was inside.
i honestly sat there killing 30 enemies so i could open it, opened it, searched, found what i wanted and i had a enemy chewing on my leg.
so i exited and had another 20 enemies, the SAME ones that i killed previously.
you cant take 5 freaking steps without having to kill 10 million enemies.
