Straight from the 2k press release:  New York, NY – August 30, 2010 – 2K Games and Gearbox Software announced today that the superextravasplosive, mega-hit Borderlands™ will offer a Game of the Year edition this fall. Borderlands™ Game of the Year will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for $59.99 and Windows PC for $49.99 starting October 12, 2010.

Electronic Arts has released a demo of Need for Speed: Shift for the PC. ‘So what?’ you ask, justifiably. Well, the webpage that provides the PC demo download confirms that a PS3 demo will reach the PlayStation Store on October 1st 2009. Yes, we are aware the game is in stores already, but some of us still believe in the ‘try before you buy’ principle!

EA’s new racer, developed by Slightly Mad Studios in collaboration with Black Box, is being described as ‘adrenaline-packed’ (IGN), ‘the most immersive, sensory racing game’ (Gamepro) and ‘expertly executed’ (PlayStation: The Official Magazine) so, judging by that, it looks like we’re in for a real treat. To be honest, after the unsatisfactory Pro-Street and Undercover instalments, we feel we’re owed it.

If the PC demo is anything to go by, five well-known motors will be available to test-drive in the PS3 demo: the BMW M3 (E46), the Dodge Viper SRT10, the Lotus Elise 111R, the Nissan GT-R, and the Pagani Zonda F (which can be unlocked during play).

A bundle of news for your eyeballs today.

Eurogamer has  a lot of evidence about the upcoming 250GB PS3 slim. According to two UK retailers a 'definite' October release is slated along with three possible bundles and a provincial price of £299.99. What are these bundles? Well, none other then Assasins Creed 2, Grand Turismo 5 & Uncharted 2.

Engadget lends extra credibility to this with lovely leaked photos of the possible Uncharted 2 Bundle. There's still no official announcement from Sony yet, though.
