Borderlands.  The game and all its DLC(except moxxis underdome!) are great.

plus dragon age sucks.

Exactly this. If you know other people who play it Borderlands is definitely the best option. If not... well I've started playing Fallout 3 on 5 separate occassions and only got 2-3 hours in each time. It's just not engaging to me. And this comes from someone who bought TES IV twice (for PC and 360) and put >200 hours into each version. So I'd go with Dragon Age (about 30% done) as a second choice to Borderlands.

Also DUKE NUKEM FOREVER DEMO!!!!



Borderlands, without a shadow of a doubt




Still undecided.

I also completely forgot about the Duke Nukem demo that comes with Borderlands.

 

Fallout New Vegas looks great and I like how it has some mini-games and shit to keep me busy.

You guys say Dragon Age sucks, but I loved it and I would love to play all that DLC, especially Awakening.

I played Borderlands and loved it, but like Dragon Age it was a rental so I didn't get to play it all the way through before returning it. I don't really know if anyone on my friends list has it, but I could just co-op with random people instead of people on my friends list.

 

Such a tough choice right now. I can only get one thanks to my $35 in K-Mart vouchers from my Move purchase. I must buy something PS3 related before the 25th and all of these release before then.

Part of me thinks I may end up with Borderlands, partly because I expect Dragon Age price to drop real fast after the holidays on GameFly.com and Fallout New Vegas will have a GoTY Edition or something next year and I still have ALL of the DLC on Fallout 3 to purchase and complete.

AFAIK Borderlands GOTY only comes with a token to get you early access to the DNF demo. The demo is apparently scheduled for early 2011. Also all the DLC for Borderlands GOTY has to be downloaded. You just get download codes for them in the package. To be perfectly honest I think it's boring as a stand alone game. The coop is where this game shines.



Fallout New Vegas

Borderlands is great and all of the DLCs are alot of fun but it cannot compare to the fun I had playing Fallout 3,  and I expect Fallout new Vegas to be the same

Dragon Age Origins was a great game but now its struggles to be a decent game, the amount of bugs in the game and the DLC makes this game is the reasoning for this.   Its almost to the point of game breaking in some instances.



Here is a BIG Question guys.

My buddy has Fallout 3 GoTY edition for his 360 and he says it comes with the DLC on the disc and you need to install it, but after the install it seems to work fine with his non-GoTY edition of Fallout 3.

Is Fallout 3 GoTY on PS3 the same way? Could I rent it and get the DLC without paying for it? I own the non-GoTY edition.

If so, and if Borderlands GoTY is the same way, could I just buy Borderlands for $20 and rent the GoTY edition and get all the DLC that way?

 

If I could that would be absolutely fantastic because I will be able to get Borderlands and Fallout New Vegas!!!

Nevermind, it seems I can't rent either from Gamefly.

Well from my experience of the GOTY edition of TES IV: Oblivion on 360, the GOTY edition comes with a disc dedicated to DLC and so I got the DLC for free from a friend to add onto my own non-GOTY edition. I'd assume Fallout 3 works the same way. You just insert the disc and install the DLC files to your hard drive.

As for Borderlands GOTY... the box comes with just the regular game and codes for the DLC's. So the DLC aren't in the game case. You have to download them from PSN/Xbox Live. So you won't be able to get the DLC codes by renting the game or even buying it used.
