For those that don't know

Actually it dosnt need a spoiler as it says it on the webpage, its the 10th unlock

If you've visited the official Diablo III launch site, you might have noticed that there are a few items waiting to be unlocked. The final item is "Diablo III: Wrath"--an animated short developed with the help of Peter Chung, the creator of Aeon Flux. The video above offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the short with comments from Peter, as well as Nick Carpenter, Chris Metzen, and James Waugh of Blizzard and Chris Prynosk--president and owner of Titmouse, Inc.
Fans of Diablo III can help unlock "Diablo III: Wrath" by visiting the the launch site and participating in activities, such as creating banners and using various social media tools to share content created by other users. Diablo III is scheduled for release on May 15.

Freaking awesome. Good to see Peter Chung still working, as I adored the Aeon Flux series. Would have loved this to be included in the CE!

I was under the impression that it was gonna be like a 3d cinematic rather than a 2d cartoon. I'm feeling a little deflated

Still cool though I guess.

an animation short? im probably one of the only ones whose completely disapointed with the 100% unlock. i was expecting something along the lines of the items page of the game guide would be updated, or a cinematic preview, or a bestiary tab on the website, or a gear preview page where you could see what different pieces of gear look like on characters. something along thongs lines.

but an animated short film? not even cgi? bleh

This is behind the scenes, 100% unlock will be the entire animation. Watch it be a 30minute movie, I'd die before it starts. The CGI is saved for the in-game cinematics why waste it on something alot of people may not see. This is just a bonus for us fans and I thank Blizzard for this!

if you read the wording, its pretty clear, (as any 3d blizzard would do in house) also, the thumbnail of the 100% unlock was a cartoon =P

[But im only going off the idea you looked at is, as you already had an idea of what it was going to be]

I'm disappointed with the 100% unlock. But I'm sure most other die-hard Diablo fans will love it! It's just not my cup of tea. Anyway, I still give Blizz props for doing another unlock page for us. The interviews were certainly interesting. Now I can't wait to get the CE in my hands. I'm going to rip it open faster than you can say Ambesol™.
