It draws the attention of hunters who travel there to raid the vaults and acquire the technology.
The introduction mentions Handsome Jack and his Hyperion faction of pirates, but then starts in medias res.
The game opens with the character Rhys in a desert.
He is looking for someone called Fiona, but is captured by a man interested in the Gortys project.
It turns out he has captured Fiona as well and the entire game is then told as flashbacks, alternating between Rhys and Fiona, to explain how they got up to that point.
In the first extensive flashback Rhys is introduced.
He is a company man working for Handsome Jack's Hyperion.
Rhys is about to get a promotion, but finds out his boss Henderson has been murdered and is replaced by his nemesis Vasquez.
He is promptly demoted Senior Vice Janitor.
He overhears a shady deal of Vazquez and involves his friends Yvette and Vaughn to obtain the vault key Vasquez is after.
They travel to Pandora carrying Hyperion funds to make the deal, but quickly become involved with bandits and then the people who want to trade the key for money.
The second flashback introduces Fiona.
She is a con artist born and raised on Pandora with her sister Sasha.
Together with their mentor and surrogate father Felix they devise elaborate scams.
They try to sell a fake vault key, which is what eventually brings Rhys and Fiona together.
She uses a false identity as an archaeologist to gain the trust of August, who has a good reputation to interest Vazquez at Hyperion.
The meeting between the two parties is eventually crashed by a fight between the two characters Bossanova and Zer0.
Bossanova gets away with the money and the parties of Rhys and Fiona
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Tales From the Borderlands for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tales From the Borderlands to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2016.
