How Borderlands owners can access the DNF Demo

You may not even be aware that your Steam copy of Borderlands includes access to the just released demo for Duke Nukem Forever.

You actually may not be aware that you have access to the Duke Nukem Forever Demo. It was released overnight to members of the Duke Nukem Forever first access club, which consists of Preorders and those who have purchased Borderlands game of the year edition.

The thing is that it appears that it is available to more than just these people. If you have Borderlands on Steam, odds are that you'll have access to the demo. What isn't apparent is how you find this out and get it up and running.

In Steam's library find your copy of Borderlands. If you then right click on it you'll have an option to view game CD Key. Hit this and you'll open a window that has your Borderlands key and also one for the DNF first access club. Right click the DNF key and copy it to the clipboard, you'll need it in a moment.

Head over to the Duke website and sign up. Paste in the key from steam where it asks. You will then get a Steam demo code from the website (and in an email). Copy this and go back to Steam.

In the top menu select games and Activate a product on Steam. When prompted paste in the new code and Steam should take over and get the 1.7GB download started.

The demo itself is, um, interesting. But we don't want to spoil it after so long a wait. We'll be interested to see peoples impressions of it.
