Borderlands Pre-Sequel freebies!

The gaming scene hasn't been all that exciting as of late unless you were anxiously awaiting Destiny.  Which I wasn't.  I'm not into games with that bad of an identity crisis.

However, we're getting very close to the launch of the latest entry in the Borderlands Universe.  That being Borderlands: The Pre-sequel. As I've said in the past I don't consider this game anything more than a training exercise for some new game physics that will eventually show up in the next "real" installment of Borderlands.  Still, it's undeniable that it is nonetheless a new Borderlands game and as such worthy of attention but perhaps not its $59.99 price tag.

So today I received an email from Gearbox offering a not so subtle reminder that we're drawing ever closer to launch day (October 14th) and to sweeten the deal for fans of the franchise like me, they've offered up some new Shift codes for both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre Sequel.  Note that the codes for Pre-Sequel only work for 7 days after launch..

From the email:
