Borderlands arrives on PlayStation Plus next week

It has been awhile since gamers in North America received a full retail title as part of the PlayStation Plus “Instant Game Collection” promotion. Europe received Red Dead Redemption last month as well as another title before that, while North America was simply given PSN titles.

While these games were still great in their own right, North Americans will be able to add Borderlands to their digital game collection next week on September 4th, allowing you to play the title as long as you are a PlayStation Plus member. This is a great little promo to help promote Borderlands 2 which comes out roughly two weeks after the PS Plus debut of Borderlands.

Besides the free game, PlayStation Plus members can also pick up Greed Corp for $2.50 or Daytona USA for only $3 while everyone else has to pay $5.

Earlier today it was revealed by producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto on the series’ blog that Rune Factory 4 is the best selling game in the series so far. In fact, the first week alone saw 85,955 copies sold which is twice the opening sales amount of Rune Factory 1 and 3.

In fact, as of August 19th, around a month after the title’s release in Japan, the game had sold 135,376 copies which is well beyond the companies’ lifetime sales of Rune Factory 2 which was originally their best selling game ever. This makes Hashimoto’s claims of a Rune Factory 5 all the more feasible. Now if only we heard some news about Rune Factory 4 making the trip overseas to the West, maybe we’ll see some record breaking numbers for the franchise here as well.
