Four DLC expansions, the full base game, and a ticket to the first playable Duke Nukem Forever demo, all on one disc. The Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for Xbox 360 is one of the best value propositions the console ever saw, bundling The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, and Claptrap's New Robot Revolution into a single package.

This was back when "Game of the Year Edition" actually meant something, when publishers compiled everything onto physical media instead of handing you a download code and calling it a day. The Duke Nukem Forever demo access is a fascinating relic. It was a bribe, essentially, to get people hyped for a game that had been in development hell for over a decade.

That demo code is long expired, but the story it tells about that chaotic period in gaming is priceless. The core Borderlands experience here is still one of the most addictive loot-and-shoot games ever made, and having all four expansions on disc means you've got the complete package preserved in physical form. For Xbox 360 collectors who care about getting the definitive version of a game, this is it.

No patches required, no store delisting anxiety. Just pop the disc in and go.
