Yep it is true you can pre-order Diablo 3 at gamestop. But the crappy part is there is no confirmed release day and the date it has one it is 12/31/10 . So the wait continues.

To Pre-Order would be a mistake at this point in time imo.
There's no clue as to what the cost will be for the game.
It could be a default cost of $49.99 + Tax, but we just don't know.
I think I'll wait until they decide to set a release date. :confused:

PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
This sort of thing always leaves me wondering. Legit? scam? There was an incident where it was a scam once. Forget which game it was.
As soon as a game is announced, in this case, Diablo 3, certain stores (mostly online ones) list the game as being available for pre order. Seems like a long time to be able to pre order, I doubt we will see the game this year so that's at least 2 months of Pre Order waitage (waitage? is that a word?).
I think I had WOTLK pre ordered for about a week, maybe two.
I don't know, there just seems something off, when Pre orders are available before a release date is even been announced.
But the crappy part is there is no confirmed release day and the date it has one it is 12/31/10
Standard Blizzard Release date. December 31. As I have said on multiple occasions, that is just a base date of release for their games it can be moved forward or back as they see fit.
WOTLK had a base date of December 31, then got moved forward to November 13.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I wouldn't have trusted those random sites that had the pre-orders last winter..but Gamestop seems to be pretty reliable I guess. I never really pay attention to how early they put pre-orders up for games that are nowhere near being released though.
I personally think that pre-ordering at this point is kind of a waste of your time and hope..lol.
I pre-ordered Modern Warfare 2, and since at the moment I have no games to play, if I'm bored I just stare at the receipt telling my self only 2 more weeks!!!!
If I would've pre-ordered DIII, I don't know what I would do with myself, haha. Personally I've never even considered buying a collectors addition, but Diablo has been my first online game, a very life changing and addicting one. I would definitely buy the collectors edition, but I think paying over 100 would be going overboard, so thats my limit (for now).
Even though these scenarios are very unlikely, but if Gamestop goes bankrupt, you loose your pre-order. (Even reputable, and large companies crash). Also, having to save a receipt for another 2 years is a little bit worrying.

"Not Even Death Can Save You From Me" ~ Diablo (II)
Doesn't really matter if you preorder this early anyways..you could probably wait till the month of release and preorder and you will most likely get your copy.
Hmm i always wondered. Wouldn't it be better to preorder way before its announced, even tho you dont know the exact price? The benefits of that could be..
Dont need to rush because its preordered (especially a L.E.)
If its more or less you still have no worries (more than enough time)
And when the time comes, you dont need to worry about blowing your bank if your tight on cash.
Saying that I might do it simply because ive never preordered so early.
mmmhmmm collectors edition i would have to wait to see if they make 1.
a little off topic but when i pre-ordered fable 2, when people pre-ordered it they would receive a game redeemable online called pub games where you can earn in-game money and items for fable before it comes out. giving us a demo for every pre-order would be soooooo nice. anyways them making it available to pre-order now when the game may not even have a release date for another year would be a waste of time and an ugly reminder that its not gonna be out for a very long time.
I don't think it's a scam but it's still way too early.
This pretty much sums it up.
Diablo3 will not release before StarCraft 2...
StarCraft 2 has been pushed back to late 2010, or early 2011.
Pre-Ordering Diablo3 wouldn't be advisable at this point in time.

Anything can happen between now and then.
Lost files. Data deletion. Lose Pre-Order reciept.
speaking of which, I just saw the 5 minute trailer for the movie 2012, and I was thinking of how I hope DIII is released before then..
It looks like sick movie, but its probably one of those overpriced, over repped, and crappy movies..BUT, I will go see it on Nov 13th. On the bright side, MW2 comes out before the end of the world on the 11th..

I still would wait for a collectors edition or something if I do end up pre-ordering.
Never bought a Collectors Edition, but Diablo is definitely a likely first candidate

The world may never know...
You will still be the first to obtain your copies before anyone else no matter which pre-order you partake in.
