Steam is digital distribution, they can't give you a defective copy because there is no copy, it's all downloaded right to your computer. And if you don't want to play on PC, PSN also has the game for download. (As well as the GOTY version) Xbox Live Marketplace...maybe? I don't know.

I never bothered to register at PSN (good thing I didn't, since their servers got hacked last year). But maybe I should give it a try and download Borderlands. Here's hoping lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place.

BTW, would it do any good if I delete the account after the purchase, or will they still retain my info in their database either way?

I wouldn't bother deleting the profile, it would just prove to be more trouble than it's worth. And the whole hacking thing, while serious, was blown way out of proportion. Master Card and Visa both went on record saying that they had no records of anything related to identity theft occurring because of the PSN hacks. People just freaked out because they didn't know what was stolen. Basic profile information like names, e-mail, and passwords, which were rendered useless when Sony shut the PSN down, and are even more useless now.

Short version: The PSN is safe and last year's hack wasn't as big a deal as a lot of stupid, paranoid people made it out to be.

Borderlands 2:
Sanctuary took off thanks to Lilith phasewalking the entire city while it was in the air. Stole a Hyperior requisitions beacon to get a Fast Travel node, so I could get back up there. Now I'm running side missions.

Roland: "Good, you're not dead."
Lilith: "That's his way of saying 'Wow, you're such a badass, great to see you're still alive!'"

Borderlands 2:
Did...well, lots of stuff. Liberated the town of Lynchwood from its evil (She killed a puppy just to prove a point) and yet outstandingly hot Sheriff. Screwed up Opportunity, a Hyperion-built (Well, WIP at least) city, including cutting down a bunch of Handsome Jack statues for Claptrap, destroying the new, Jack-owned Underdome for Moxxi, and splicing together the world's worst tourist video for Lilith. Now, I've got to go assault a Hyperion outpost holding the Vault Key.

Lilith: "If you don't make it back, I'm going to be pissed."
Roland: "Noted."
Lilith: "And if you do make it back, I'm gonna tear all your clothes off..."
Roland: "Also...noted."
Mordecai: "Ugh! We're standing right here! No one wants to know that!"
Brick: "Go on..."

Good to know. Since it's DLC, I won't have to worry too much about it being sold out. Probably take my time downloading it.

For now, Hitman Absolution takes priority.

XenoBlade Chronicles
Moving forward with the story. My rescued companion had an ailment and I had to retrieve parts to fix it. She's fine now. the game threw us a twist by introducing a lost race that hadn't yet been seen. Cool.
We've fallen completely off the world and are now on a giant fallen hand at the foot of the Mechonis. Ran a few quests for the lost people and learned a lot about the history of the Mechon war. Was pointed to a path that lead to the Mechonis. I am now inside the Mechonis, working my way towards the top.

Borderlands 2:
BEATEN! Well, sort of. Yes, I beat the main story. Yes, I let Lilith kill Handsome Jack. But I still got a bunch of sidequests left to do, and the DLC, and Playthrough 2.

Mordecai: "Heheh, you know what that means."
Lilith: "Yeah. No rest for the wicked."

Just started on Hitman Absolution. Glad to find David Bateson still voicing 47.

It's been years since I last played a Hitman game, but the controls are intuitive enough. Love the ability to ambush someone from a corner. The difficulty has been upped somewhat--guards now grow suspicious when you;re disguised as one of them and walk past them. The "instinct" feature allows you to temporarily tilt your head down to mimnimize suspicion, but the meter doesn't usually last long enough for you to get past safely.

Completed three missions, scoring Silent Assassin rank in the second mission (King of Chinatown).

Resident Evil 5
I beat it. Alot. I beat the game first on normal, then on veteran, and then on professional. I have every weapon upgrade and and got the infinite rocket launcher from beating it a 4th time in under 5 hours. I have most of the trophies from it.

Dishonored
I'm on my second playthrough. I'm trying to get the clean hands trophy and mostly flesh and steel trophy. That's where I have to beat the game without killing anybody and not buying any powers. Blink was just given to me so I whore the f*** out of it. So, I've been trying to ninja this game (yes I used ninja as a verb) like a bitch now and I've been pretty successful. I managed to not kill anybody, knock out everybody who got in my way and neutralize all of the targets. But then I got to the Flooded District. I've gone through that mission 3 times last night and didn't kill anybody, at all. But when it got to the mission end, it said I killed someone. 3 times! I'm still trying to to do this mission without killing anybody.

I don't have every weapon upgrade, mostly because it seemed kind of pointless after getting an Infinite Ammo Lightning Hawk. Give that to Sheva, and watch as all the problems people had with the AI partner suddenly vanish, replaced with a giant pile of dead Lickers.

Borderlands 2:
Doing Playthrough 2, or True Vault Hunter Mode as it's called. Now things are starting to get tough. Enemies that were only kinda tricky before are kicking my ass like they're getting the respawn fee. Good thing Deathtrap is such a badass robotic death god.
