Borderlands may not be hitting store shelves until next week, but that hasn't stopped 2K Games and Gearbox Software from announcing the first DLC pack for their highly anticipated co-op shooter. Entitled "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned", this $9.99 (or 800 MS Points) addon is scheduled for release later this year and will offer a new zombie-infested cove to explore, along with new quests, enemies and rare loot drops. Here's the official word:
