where i am thats currency 350.00. which is what most games go for now on pc. ie mass effect. if they're pricing it in terms of popularity, then i agree.
If the game is only costing 24.99 UK thats just over $50 canadian. To me thats a friggin steal. I don't mind waiting at all. I'm going to be waiting on my comp till the wee hours of the morning to get a jump on that.

Since the beginning... I have existed
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory my chains are broken.
You mean Diablo Battle Chest? But didn't that came after the initial release?
No. He means this. It came with the cinematics on DVD and the Diablo II Dungeons & Dragons game. Here is the back. I'd take a picture of mine, but I have to run to work.
they're doing the same thing in the US, which I also find surprising. I'm interested in the Collector's Edition but no word on that yet. I'd be more than willing to pay extra for the Collector's Edition of Diablo 3. The concept art alone would be worth it.
Same here! I bought the collectors edition of D2, the one that came with a DVD of the Marius cutscenes, a CD of the soundtrack (worth the price of the collection alone) and an offical AD&D Diablo paper game that I have never used as I don't paper game.
I also bought one of the Diablo action figures that is now long lost, but the collector's edition is still with me.
I have the soundtrack on my MP3 player and sometimes watch the DVD for fun although too bad it does not have the Act 5 films as it indeed predates those. But other than the paper AD&D thingy I totally use the stuff that came with it.
And as far as what I would like to see in D3, are we now going to find out what became of Adria? Her shack on the other side of the river was never seen when we returned to Tristram leaving her fate unknown. I would think she would be crafty enough to get out of Dodge once the goings got bad. I will smile if I hear once again "I sense a soul in search of answers... " :thumbsup:
I always thought her words of wisdom were far more deep than anything Cain ever said!
p.s - Blizzard hasnt ever done a collectors edition of a diablo game, it'd suprise me if they did now, its not a mmorpg or anything like that so, they cant exactly give bonus in game content or anything, maybe artwork, which we already have access to
Forgive the douible post ya'all but I had to counter this point.
I know I am not the only one here who is a proud owner of the DII Collectors Edition!
It came with the game in a 4-cd case (only 3 cds obviously), a DVD of all the cut scenes with Maruis (looks great on a big screen!) a CD of the complete soundtrack (if you ever want to make people in your house feel like they are being chased put this on with the volume low) and a paper AD&D Diablo game module for those of us who like to paper game. I don't so that is in pristine condition.
I think the manual was like the regular one but I cannot be sure exactly where the regular and deluxe editions differed. And the box was numbered as it was a limited edition.
I am at work so I cannot tell you what mine was #'ed.
It was years ago so I cannot tell you what I paid for it and I cannot recall if I got it directly from Blizzard or from some 3rd party retailer.
So this is why we hope they do a similar thing with D3. Just the small clips of music on the D3 website makes me long for a whole CD of the new music! And a DVD of the cinematics would look great on a plasma/big LCD.
Oh and the DVD case had a warning that viewing the films before you played the game 100% would spoil the end. I heeded the warning and did not play the DVD until I finished Normal and knew what happened.
What I would really like is to receive a cd-key to the beta test...
I remember the D2 Stress Test... we could only go until Blood Raven...
There was the ladder already... Lvl 20 max from what I can remenber...
Imagine getting lvl 20 on blood raven...
It was really nice...
Perfect Gems were really rare...
I don't think much about where it will be released.. I just hope it is soon..
But I would really enjoy participating the beta test!
Is a much better shot of what the D2 Collectors edition contained.
Apparantly there were only 70,000 made.
Not the smallest of editions but considering that millions of copies were sold then I guess it can be thought of as a small edition.
And this is why I would love the same treatment for D3! I can only imagne what they would include because they would have to go over what the D2 collectors edition had.
i just want to apolagise ( ye i cant spell it , it means sorry ) to md for saying his reporting was big pile of dogshit. hes imba and i didnt know his tooth was hollow, or what ever u call it.
anyway hes imba and i love him. reallly liked that blizz dinner video , and that asian singer chick. man shes fine.karune is one lucky sc2 cm.
Thats why Starcraft 2 has yet to be released over a year since they announced it? lol. Usually 2+ years, usually more, before release.
sc was announced last year right? well i hope speculations are right because if so sc 2 will b here by Christmas and that means that there's a slight possibility of d3 being here by late 2009

Oh man I remember the stress test. I Played it so much that I got sick of the Barbarian. I never played the barb when D2 came out because of the stress test.
I find it funny how most of you are kidding yourselves into thinking that D3 will come out in less than a year. If Blizzard was a regular company then sure they could probably release the game a year after they announce the game, but Blizzard has a much longer development cycle then most developers; it doesn't matter how long they have been working on it before the announcement.
I think that they will release a beta next year probably around this time and we will see the game come out in a year or a year and a half later.

Will Diablo III be available on Windows and Mac simultaneously?
Yes. As with all of Blizzard Entertainment's recent releases, Diablo III will ship for both Windows and Mac simultaneously.
If it does come out that soon, sweet, but I'd rather wait a bit longer for a better product anyway.

only the first act is ready. The other acts are probably partially finished.
Like everyone said, they've been working on this for a while and it looks late in development.
Blizzard may be downplaying their progress just to be safe. I actually think these gaming websites are more or less right.
D3 will be here in a year, 1.5 years max.
