Someone explain this to me.

Most of this rage is levelled at Borderlands 2 (http://uk.gamespot.com/news/borderlands-2-finished-gearbox-now-working-on-dlc-6388153).

WHY?!

Why is there this ridiculous timespan between a release of a game that has been finished and actually reaching us?
Is it the press?
It's not even a matter of shipping! Digital distribution would solve that.  Most of these games are even in stores for what, a month prior to release?

What gives?

You sent it to TB? Lets hope he addresses it.

Perhaps translation? But that wouldn't make any sense if the game's already in the stores.

I guess it's just some marketing scheme again, as per usual.

Well part of the delay is mentioned in the article: the game needs to be certified for xbox 360 and ps3. Its debateable whether or not this step is needed, but I think its standard practice for microsoft/sony to check game titles to make sure they don't do anything nasty to the systems by accident. I have no idea why this would take 60 days: maybe its just extra time so that if a problem comes up the company wouldn't have to push back the release date.

Nope, doing that nao.

EDIT: Done. Let's hope, eh?
