Weird that they didn't include the first game, but a prequel and the second game. Either way I'll play them. Have you? Which would you recommend I start with?

Correct order is release order.

Handsome Jack was introduced as a character in BL2, then his story expanded upon with TPS, which is at least part of why the Handsome Collection doesn't include 1. I don't know why there isn't a collection that DOES, though.

Thank you, Ill start with two then.

Personally, I'd recommend taking the time and money to buy and do at least one playthrough of 1 first. It's a shorter game (which I appreciate, because it makes multiple playthroughs much easier, but it also means that doing a single playthrough of 1 shouldn't be that time consuming), and the story of 2 is a direct follow-up of 1's. Almost every single character from 1 makes a return in 2, so you'll be able to understand their significance better if you've played it. Plus there's a region from 1 that you actually go back to in 2, and you can't appreciate that without doing 1.

I started re-playing the Borderlands games when BL3 was officially announced; just finished my first playthrough of 2 & I'm getting ready to dive into TPS again. If I still have time before BL3 releases, I'll next be replaying them all three in second playthrough - which is when it gets really fun because you should, by then, have at least one skill tree maxed.

Sonic Mania is a truly great game. Borderlands is a decent deal for free, though I think you can pick it up used for about $10 everyday. Anyway, I'd call this a well-above-average month for PS+.
