The latest issue of PC Gamer that's currently only available to subscribers of the magazine is featuring a cover story and preview of none other than Diablo III.
The issue of PC Gamer has yet to hit the shelves, but BlizzardGuru managed to get their hands on the issue and take photos of the pages, which they've uploaded for viewing.
The magazine doesn't contain too much new information, however and goes through the typical questions that most of us have asked and had answered by Bashiok on the forums and Jay Wilson in various interviews online.
However, the issue also contains some interesting reading, such as a fanboy vs hater op-ed piece, a column regarding the color/art petition and a Q&A section with some new information about the game. The article also contains a feature on what we know and what we don’t, with some very detailed speculation on the matters.
Well there was not much new there however its great that people are trying too get as much info as possible, but i'll guess we have too wait for BlizzCon for some REAL info maby new class?
I wasn't sure that the Barbarian in Diablo 3 is actually the same one from Diablo 2. Jay confirmed it in the article. Oh, and don't tell me you all knew about the loot system! I thought that it didn't change, but instead they tell me that there will be loot reservastion!! The times of jumping on dead bosses in hope for uniques are gone?
Also, I have never seen the Witch Doctor's screenshot while he usese Horrify on the first-level Ghouls ... Lastly, I REALLY hope that the game will be released in maximum 1 and a half years, otherwise it will be shipped while I'm in the army... dammit.

Guess PC Gamer's exclusive just stopped being so exclusive
Wonder how game radar got their hands on it heh
EDIT: Dw, figured it out, same company owns the two
Wonder why they were silly enough to leak it free online first, only to advertise the "Exclusve" preview so much in the mag heh... guess the digital age is making magazines obscolete
um u can infact buy this item... weve been selling this particular one at barnes and noble since thursday... but yes i have in fact read it and its very basic
Updated with the last picture, and it's the October issue, so it's just come out to the shelves evidently as you said, on Thursday, and Im sure not all places have received it yet...
You possibly get it earlier in the US, but I haven't seen it on shelves in other places yet
We actually had a copy on Thursday too, but the guy didn't have a good camera or scanner to take the pics sadly
But yes, as you said, for how much PC Gamer talked it up in their first interview, and with their front page promising "sizzling news", there really wasn't a lot to go on...

PCG partnered with gamesradar to put parts of featured articles on the site before the magazine comes out. There are still exclusive parts in the magazine though that pertain to the article. But yes they put the majority of the article online to drive traffic.

My goodness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I trust…
Am I missing something. I picked up this issue like 5 days ago. I have it sitting in my room as we speak? I liked the read but there was really nothing new. They hyped up this issue with new D3 info but I have seen nothing. I guess I will need to wait

Diablo 3 will be my addiction for another large chunk of my life
