    Borderlands 6-pack for $40 seems like a pretty good deal for a group buy, particularly considering a 4-pack is still listed as $60.

    Oh, beat'd by a page or two.

    This Wishlist contest is such an obvious way to get me to use one of your features, Steam, but I just can't resist you.

    So you're saying that a contest is being used to do market research on what games people want? I don't really care, to be honest.

    Apparently some games not appearing in the top 10 was a bug.

    Sorry, there was a (rather silly) bug on that page. Should be fixed now, let me know if you're still seeing issues.

    Have you made sure to log in? You have to log in to the store and Community seperately. If you use the Steam client, it should log into both automatically.

    Oh, there we go.

    Funny thing: I bought Borderlands at release and never bought any of the DLC.

    Now the Steam page for Borderlands GOTY is telling me I already own it. o_O

    Should I reinstall and see if I magically get all of the DLC packs? :P

    Then you're not entered. Somebody posted a little ways back that you need 10 games in your list to be in the contest. I just didn't know if there was a box to check somewhere or something.

    You won't have the DLC without having bought it. It's just that Steam treats the regular and GOTY editions as the same in some ways. You can always see what DLC you have for a game by opening its properties from your games list.

    If you decide that you want the DLC, there's a pack with all of it, but personally I'd wait and see if it the DLC gets discounted during the holiday sale. It was half off during the summer sale.

    Yeah, I know there's a DLC pack, I mentioned earlier in the thread that it wasn't on sale.

    The DLC pack can't be added to my wishlist, and since I already own vanilla Borderlands I can't add GOTY to my wishlist either because Steam thinks they're the same thing.

    Fuck your stupid sweepstakes, Steam, leave this kind of shenanigans for D2D.

    Unless you also wait for the DLC (or unless you don't ever want the DLC) to go on sale it will be a wash.

    I don't care too much about the DLC, and I'm sure the pack of it will go on sale during Christmas.

    While I am sure the D2D giveaway does have something to do with it, I wouldn't really go that far. At least at D2D you have a 20% chance of winning, compared to something like a .02% chance through steam. This giveaway is meant to get people to use the wishlist feature as it will likely increase gift sales during the holiday season.

    The comparison isn't really apt at all. With D2D you have to be in the act of buying a game anyway...with Steam, you just have to let them know you want it. One is a contest and one is essentially gambling.
