Following the announcement of Diablo III at the 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals, merely 9 days ago, Gamasutra reports that sales of the seven-year-old RPG hack 'n slash game Diablo II Battle Chest has risen considerably on last week's worldwide sale charts.
The Diablo II Battle Chest took the lead on North American PC sales as the #1 in the Top 5 Sales. On the United Kingdom charts, the Diablo II Battle Chest received the 4th spot.
At this rate, Game Stores around the world will be out of stock of any remaining copies. If your area already is out of stock and you wish to get your hands on Diablo II and Lord of Destruction expansion, your only option at this point is to head to the Blizzard Store to purchase a digital download of the game. It is now available after the Diablo III announcement. Blizzard Entertainment most likely foresaw this prior to the announcement. A clever planning.
Agreed....
The Battle Chest is great, but it's got nothing on this:
I still have my copy of it. Unfortunately, it was really limited... but you can find copies on eBay here 'n there still if you want one badly enough.
I am playing a HC trapassassin atm
gets scary though because I am on a wireless connection so i find my self exiting the game on spikes
And by me.
i was thinking about this the other day.
It would have seriously pist me off if you started diablo2, built your sorceress into a fire build and gotten to diablo and it says immune to fire above his head. heh heh
