Gearbox and 2K Games have revealed that their previously announced DLC for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, will be available for download on November 24th, 2009 for both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 (Sorry PC players, no date for you yet, but it is coming according to the Gearbox twitter feed). The price of entry for Zombie, Were-Skag and loot-hunting action is $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points). This is the first in a series of downloadable content that will bring new enemies, quests and loot, and is described as a “full-fledged expansion.” I am anxious to see how much gaming I’ll get for my $10. How about you?
