Borderlands 2 shortage premier club keys

Closed
Bl00DSpilleD

So, I pre-ordered Borderlands 2 about a month ago and today I received an email from the store I ordered it saying there's a shortage of premier club keys. They're offering me to either abort the order or to send a normal version of borderlands.

I paid 34,80 euros for the game, so if they send me a normal version, I could purchase the mecromancer dlc for 10 euros and it would still be cheaper..(than the 50 bucks steam is asking) But I would really like the premier club dlc. Should I abort the order and order it on steam for 50 euros?

Please help me out here, I have to decide today...

EDIT 2: I just ordered it on steam. I want to thank everyone for helping me make this decision! I hope to play borderlands 2 with you guys , so add me if you like ;)

Why abort the order, if they have no keys then you cant exactly get another, you could maybe try hitting up gearbox see if they can do anything. And hasn't the preorder already expired for steam?

The premier club edition gives you more stuff than just the DLC thats why you get a golden key + some good weapons at beginning(thats what i heard) and mecromancer dlc i think something else but not sure :P

Can I also order something from outside the UK, if you don't mind me asking?

I've never used the site myself. But I believe you can use paypal for your transaction, so if that's the case, yes you can. If you buy the 4-pack, you save even more at just £18.75 per copy.

Okay, I just set up my Paypal account,( I used to order by bank transfers, now I added my bank account, otherwise it would take 3 business days ) so I hope paypal sends me those 2 random amounts of money soon so I can order :S

Ah, you mean you're verifying your account? That can take a while :S It took me a week if I remember correctly.

Yes, a bank card. You could try using it to pay on that Gamesplanet site. They shouldn't have a problem with it. You should have set up your paypal just a bit earlier :P

Damn it, I think you may be stuck with Steam then. I would cancel your order and head to Steam for those bonuses :/

Okay, so I'll cancel it. Do you perhaps know when the pre-order bonus on steam expires? It's still available now, but for how long?

I reckon the pre order bonus will stay active until the game unlocks. So you have 33 hours. Or 1 day and 9 hours.

My phone is redirecting too much to open steam site right now to check myself but are you in the UK and that's how you just bought from steam and got bonuses? I got screwed by amazon and lost my preorder and I'm trying to find a way to buy it from the US to get the preorder bonuses.

From what I've heard (and the general reaction of customers) gamesplanet is a huge scam. I'd recommend not using it. At all.

Try to bargain with them to see if they give you something extra . Also cheaper boxed copy is always superior to steam store

They don't, the only thing they'll offer is to send me a digital and and a physical copy instead of just a physical one.

Can the store get more premier keys ? If not, they should offer a discount or give something else in return.

No they can't, they're saying 2k didn't send them enough keys...

An extra character class. Golden key for rare items, extra guns and some kind of relic.

I don't know, an extra copy :P
They should be able to get some extra premier keys from 2K normally.

I doubt they'll give me an extra copy and I won't order from there ever again, that's for sure.

Which you will promptly discard soon after getting, most likely.

That sucks dude... I'd probably just get the normal copy and then buy the DLC later, but listen to these people. They seem to know more xD
