Borderlands 2 getting simultaneous digital release on PSN

PS3 owners can choose between either a physical or digital purchase when Borderlands 2 hits UK retail next Friday (September 21st).

Sony has confirmed that the game will be released on the PlayStation Store at the same time it arrives at retail.

Furthermore, the game can also be pre-ordered on PSN right now.

In theory, the game will cost the same online as it does on the High Street too, sticking rigidly to the 49.99 RRP.

However, the PS3 version can already be had for as little as 35.85 and will likely be offered at around the 40 mark by some retailers.
