It may be a holiday here in the US (it's also a bank holiday in the UK) but that doesn't mean you can't save some money while you enjoy your day off. Amazon.com has you covered with a very nice deal for Borderlands, the 2009 released first person shooter-RPG combo game from Gearbox Software.

The game itself is on sale for $27.99 which is $2 off its normal price. So what? So the folks at Amazon.com have sweetened the deal even more with adding the Borderlands Double Game Add-On Pack for free with your order. That's two DLC expansions (The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot), a $19.95 value, for the cost of nothing. There's no word on how long this deal will last so we suggest jumping on it now if you haven't bought Borderlands or the two DLC expansions before now.

While Gearbox Software may have already announced their third downloadable mini-expansion for Borderlands, there may be some of you, for whatever reason, that are scared of this new flagled thing call the internet. Downloading things just doesn't sound natural to you. Thankfully, Borderlands' publisher 2K Games has you covered if you still want to try out the game's debut DLC products.

GameSpot is showing on their web site that on February 23 2K Games will release the first two downloadable mini-expansions for Gearbox's first person shooter as a retail product. The expansions, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned and Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, will be available together for the price of $19.99. And if you really are in fear of downloading things that are not viruses, see a doctor.

Gearbox Software's next DLC for Borderlands, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, is now live on the Xbox 360's Xbox Live service to download with the PS3 version due out next week. While we PC owners are having to wait for our version our sister site Joystiq has a new trailer that shows off some more of what we can expect from the mini-expansion.

The trailer shows off and names the three arena maps that will be in the DLC (Hellburbia, The Angelic and The Gully) where players will have to face off against waves of enemies. New modifiers like Dodgeball and Loaded will be included and a new "bank" is added for more storage space for weapons and items. There's still no word on when the PC port will be released.

Gearbox Software is one of the few game developers that actively promotes itself via its own community site Gearboxity. This week the site has posted up their own interview with the developers behind the upcoming second Borderlands mini-expansion Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot.

This particular release was due in part to player suggestions for things like more storage of items in the first person shooter. Wave-based gameplay was yet another request so designers came up with the idea of a coliseum that players would enter and deal with waves of different enemies. While the console versions are due out soon there's no word yet on when the PC port will be released.

Crazy, sadistic and out for fame and glory. Yep, Moxxi is definitely a Borderlands character. This intro cinematic for Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, the newest DLC expansion. In it, players will have to fight off waves of the game's toughest enemies in an arena setting. The expansion will also include an item bank and more quests to embark on. Altogether, good times will be had fighting for survival. The DLC expasion is scheduled to release for the Xbox 360 on December 29, the PlayStation 3 on January 7. A PC release date is to be announced.
