When Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel released back in October of last year for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, many fans were left wondering -- why the heck did the game not come out for Xbox One and PlayStation 4?
This is why. Feast your eyes upon Borderlands: The Handsome collection. Coming in March for Xbox One and PS4, the bundle will include Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and all the downloadable content for each. Better yet, your progress from both games will transfer over to the new console version, as long as you upgraded to a next-gen console in the same family as the one you originally played the games on. Both games will run at 1080p and 60 frames-per-second, and for the first time will be introducing four-player splitscreen. That all comes in the standard edition, which will retail for $59.99.
But that's child's play compared to the $400 limited edition of the game. What could possibly make a limited edition of two last-gen games cost $400? How about a fully functional remote controlled Claptrap that spouts lines from the game, rolls around on one wheel and has a camera built into its eye? That camera can then be used in a special iPhone app cleverly named the "ClaptrApp" to control the camera and see what Claptrap sees. The limited edition bundle will also come with a steelbook game case and 12 lithographs (one for each vault hunter character).
If that sounds like a deal too good to pass up, you need to act fast. Only 5,000 of the bundles are being made, so those who want to snag one will need to pre-order. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection is scheduled for a March 24 release on Xbox One and PS4.
