Now that the CD is out.... do I need the original game to play them?

You do need the original retail game.  The add-on pack installs to your Hard Drive just like DLC, then you access the DLC by loading up the retail game disc.

i need to finish the DLC too, but i got the first 2 free and only payed for General Knoxx, so i'm not too rushed with it. New DLC might make me play though .... maybe.

DLC confirmed

2K has confirmed the next add-on pack for its first-person shooter and role-playing hybrid Borderlands.

The pack, titled 'Claptrap's New Robot Revolution', will require players to suppress a deadly Claptrap attack using the unique abilities of their chosen vault hunter.


The add-on takes place during a civil war between the Hyperion Corporation and the Claptraps, who are led by the cunning kung-fu Claptrap known only as Ninja Assassin.

The contents of this add-on were of course originally discovered when a player dug into the 1.3 PC patch and found details on new quests, weapons and characters.

The patch also hinted at the return of a number of other Borderland characters, while they will probably show up in this pack, it may be that more DLC is on the way.

Duke won't derail Borderlands plans

Gearbox has promised gamers that its plans for Borderlands downloadable content and sequels to other franchises remain intact despite the recent purchase of the Duke Nukem franchise.

At the end of September, a new DLC for Borderlands called Claptrap's New Robot Revolution launches on all platforms. On 12th October the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition will launch.

"We are fully committed to all of our projects," boss Randy Pitchford has told Eurogamer.

"At the Penny Arcade Expo where we first unveiled Duke Nukem Forever to the fans, Gearbox Software hosted a panel where I provided an update regarding all of the projects we are involved with.

"I think it was clear to everyone who attended that panel that Gearbox Software and I are very committed to our games and our brands."

Aside from Borderlands, Gearbox's other main property is the Brothers in Arms series. The last entry in that franchise was Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway back in September 2008
