This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack for PlayStation 3
Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack on PlayStation 3 centres on two extra campaigns, Gaige the Mechromancer and additional arena and equipment content; the Borderlands 2 base game is not included but is required. Captain Scarlett leads you through a desert in search of pirate treasure, while Mr. Torgue builds an explosive tournament around arenas and quests. Gaige fights alongside Deathtrap, and her Anarchy skill rewards a riskier style of play.
You use the same shooting, looting and skill-tree progression as in Borderlands 2. The two campaigns have their own areas, enemies and bosses, while the Creature Slaughter Dome adds combat rounds. Because this is expansion content, you can only begin after installing the base game. In Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack, the challenge comes from combining those systems: success depends not on one isolated trick but on reading objectives, resources and risks. The core of Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack remains clear while new areas or assignments demand a different application each time. A failed attempt in Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack immediately provides useful information for the next one.
This description covers the physical PlayStation 3 edition of Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack. The disc and product title determine the edition. This boxed game includes its original paper manual unless the title explicitly says the booklet is missing.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack
Gearbox Software developed Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack; 2K Games released this PlayStation 3 edition on 26 February 2013. The disc bundled Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate’s Booty, Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage, the Mechromancer and smaller bonuses for players who wanted to keep the first expansion wave on physical media. It was not a standalone reissue and therefore does not contain the full Borderlands 2 campaign.
The release shows how Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack found its own place in the PlayStation 3 catalogue. Its design, packaging and required services were examined as one historical edition, preventing later versions or features from being mixed into this release. For Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack, the original platform version, the offered product title and the current state of required services were checked together. This keeps clear which qualities belonged to the release, which parts depended on external infrastructure and what the buyer receives in this specific edition of Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack. Its historical significance therefore remains separate from present-day practical usability. The product page consequently treats Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack both as a historical release and as the specific item offered.
For Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack, this means: the supplied disc remains tied to the original platform release. Later remasters, sequels and separate downloads belong in this description only when demonstrably included in this product.
