A member of the Diablo 3 Battle.net forums recently posted a question regarding some web sites that have been listing Diablo 3 for pre-order. Some of these sites even have posted street dates for the game as early as 3/27/09. Now, anybody who's been paying attention to Diablo 3 news during the past year surely knows that the game is nowhere near completion right now, but Bashiok has taken the time to address the issue of pre-orders:
"As always, unless it is officially announced by us, usually through a press release, any release dates are purely guesses made up by the retailer. I don't pretend to know every retailer's pre-order requirements or rules, but I believe a release date usually has to be present for them to begin taking pre-orders. So they sort of make one up.
That isn't meant to discourage you pre-ordering the game, feel free if you want, but be aware that the retailer likely has a disclaimer stating that the date they list isn't a guaranteed release date, and it certainly isn't."
Personally, I'm not even considering any pre-ordering until there's an official release date from Blizzard. How about you guys? Are any of you actually going to bother pre-ordering the game this early from one of those random web sites?
The only thing I did is sign up on Amazon so it tells me when it's available for pre-order; otherwise I wouldn't trust anywhere that has a date already posted.
heck no i will not preorder the game i dont even know if best buy does pre orders and i will want the game at midnight when it comes out so ill prob head over to walmart
Retailers taking preorders can't possibly know how many copies they will be able to get upon release, it seems kind of risky. The last thing I would want ot do is wait even longer for the copy I paid for to come in. I'll see you in line at walmart gabbzy. And
Everyone whos into blizz games or games in general should know that retailers always do this stuff to try and a make a few quick dollars......big name releases are rarely given a release date till a few months before its release date and hell the devs dont even know the release date since they dont know when there gonna be truly finished
Im headin to the store to get it....I dont do preorders....yet

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
lol, just to remind you guys, that any of those stores can close down; and if they go bankrupt you lose your money.
Since you can set a pre-order 2 days before its released, I would probably wait till then. I wonder how crazy the stores will be...i'll probably see thousands of tents..
Well i'm not even thinking about pre-ordering, they are only maybe half way done with it!

My brain has adapted to this webste. It creates a screenshot of the main page so that when there's news I have some sort of primitive instict reaction to click it so fast that I don't even have time to read it on the main page.
Lately it's all like.. 'meh', but it still keeps happening...

Second that

It would be like preordering Stars Wars VII on DVD...

I think all D3 fans with half a brain would know to consult, first and foremost, the official Blizzard D3 site, and of course sites such as this one.
