Video is good, but it also appears to be beta download scam (video is ripped off). Highly recommend avoiding the using the links provided. If there is a legitimate beta, you'll find it at http://www.borderlands2.com/us/. If its not there, then there isn't a beta, and FAIK, there's no public beta.

Good catch guys.
I'm always suspicious when I see something on blogspot.

Gotta agree with everyone on this one. Love the footage, but the thing has almost a 100% chance of being a scam in all likely hood. Clicked the link, clicked the Beta key download link just to see if it started downloading, nope! They want you to complete a survey too! Not even if it was real. I would just wait rather than complete a stupid survey.

Scammers love to rip off videos, screen shots, etc and use them as bait. And creating fake beta downloads is also a very popular way to bait gamers into downloading an executable that then proceeds to ask the gamer for Steam ID and Password under the pretense to "register" the beta, then of course they attempt to hijack the steam account.

Steam tracks IPs addresses, so if steam accounts are hijacked, they can trace it back to the hacker. Some hackers are good enough to hide, but if its teenagers thinking they can out smart the pros, then they are surprised when law enforcement is knocking on the front door and the parents say "He's in his room playing video games. What's this all about?"
