While I'm sure there will be many CE, there are also many ravenous fans. Personally it doesn't make sense to wait for a release date, when you're going to be spending the same amount of money anyway, and get it one the same day whether you know what that day is today, or next week. I'd get it before it runs out =D

haha yeah.. that makes total sense, and i usually would of preordered already.. but this time, ill be going overseas for Feb and im scared that it will be released in Feb.. even though the chances are slim ahha
I get Diablo 3 for free, and not interested in the Collectors Edition, but a realease date would still be nice, because I plan to order my new motherboard and video card around that time.
I pre-ordered my CE on Monday. I fell for the "Stocks are limited" line. They did require a deposit, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy that I have some guearantee of getting it at midnight on launch day. Also, I am at GMT +2, so I will be getting it even before some of you :P.
I really wish they would allow a pre-download, so I can rush home, enter my key and start playing, without waiting for the install (and also my DVD rom on my PC is stuffed, and it takes time for me to create the ISO for install with my laptop - which is what I now do for all optical disks).

There will be a pre-download and itll be available on Blizz site (all majour torrent sites) because Blizz is doing digital downloads and wow annual pass free (source: my wow account says pre-download coming soon!). So you will be able to do this!
Yes, they will have to because people that have the Annual Pass will need to download the game, and I could forsee a lot of negative comments if they are not on-par with people buying in store in regards to the client and vice versa.

Thanks for that info. The little bit I have read about it indicated that the pre-download are only for digitally bought games. I wasn't going to digitally buy my CE, since most of the cool stuff is tangible (and you wouldn't receive this with a digital purchase)

Yeah I'm also waiting for a release date, don't trust the retailers. Hehe jk. I am kinda worried about not pre-ordering mine when the CE was announced...I'll be the angriest, most miserable man on the planet if I can't get a CE now...

Where did you pre-order yours if you don't mind me asking? Or did you physically went to the store? Cause I went to takealot, prophecy, kalahari ect to see if the I can pre-order, but I can't.
I can't preorder... because bulgarian stores are stupid.
I have the normal edition from the Annual Pass and want the collector's edition. Our only local store Pulsar on the other hand thinks that people that preorder the regular edition have priority over those that just want the CE. And so they're calling everyone that preordered a normal copy for a confirmation in case they've changed their mind and want a CE instead. And _if_ there are leftover CEs they'll give me that.
Well f*ck you Pulsar. I can upgrade my normal edition to a collectors edition even MONTHS after I've started playing. So there. Up yours. I'll just wait a few weeks/months when they finally start bringing them in truckloads and get one then. Meanwhile enjoying the normal version from my Annual Pass.
There is a difference in preordering now vs later, from the retailer's perspective you want more preorders so you can collect interest on that pile of money. From a player's perspective there's not much interest to be gained from an $80-100 preorder but it's there.
Personally I will predownload and pick up a CE at Walmart at midnight.
Even if the predownload is only available to annual pass/digital purchase if you know where to look you can find the torrent or downloader app. It's not even illegal to do that.

I got it from btgames (www.btgames.co.za). Their pre orders are open with no price. You have to pay a R100 deposit (offset against the final price) to secure an order on the CE. I saw the games listed on kalahari.net. The prices are R400 for normal, and R680 for collectors. This is a guess of course, but it may end up being reasonably accurate.

When SC2 got release I showed up at a BestBuy and they had tons of CE. I don't see why it would be different with Diablo...
