Borderlands 2 has gone gold

Randy tweeted today that Borderlands 2 is officially done.  It's been released to certification and then manufacturing.  they're movign on to going the mechromancer DLC now but they said it'll be available 60-90 days after launch?!  WTF?  That is way way to long to be releasing post-game DLC these days.  That'll mean it's going to drop in January  and the first quarter of the year is already FULL of triple A titles.  I can't see this being the correct road to success.

For me, that late of a DLC release is fine. I'm sure I'll still be going strong on my first playthrough. Even if I'm not, it'll give a good change of pace from whatever FPS MP I'm playing at the time.

60-90 days may be their way of trying to find a sweet spot between H4/CoD9 release and the 2013 onslaught.  Still I’d say if it’s not out for the holidays they’re doing it wrong.

It allegedly took a guide writer 58 hours for one playthru.  They were probably more thoro than most.  But I figure for me 1 play + partials with the other characters + f’ing around with friends at different points in the story will probably = 40-60 hours.  Which means I won’t miss the dlc for a while.
