Borderlands free to play on Steam this weekend

There ain’t nothin’ in this world for free… except Borderlands!

No plans for the weekend? No problem! As part of its ongoing Borderlands Game of the Year Edition 75% off promo, Steam is tempting potential buyers with a whole free weekend of runnin’ and gunnin’ around sunny Pandora. It’s a rootin’, lootin’, six-gun skag shootin’ good time for everybody, untz untz untz.

That’ll make your decision to put down $7.49 for the game that much easier, I’m sure, although just between us the weekend is probably enough time to play through the entire game. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get yourself a complete save game before Borderlands 2 launches in September, so you can take advantage of extra stuff.

Obviously you’ll need Steam installed to get in on this one-time deal, and you can get the game downloading right now by hitting up this link right here – Install Borderlands with Steam. It won’t send any kind of alert to the Hyperion Corporation, I promise.

The free thing is available until midnight local time on Sunday. At that point, Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptraps will be dispatched from close orbit to remove it from your PC.
