    Diablo III Coming May 15th; Digital Pre-Orders Begin Today

    Let's just cut straight to the chase. When May 15th rolls around, gamers all over the world will be exhausting their mouse clickers when Diablo III launches.

    Yes, it finally has a release date.

    “After many years of hard work by our development team and months of beta testing by hundreds of thousands of dedicated players around the world, we’re now in the homestretch,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We look forward to putting the final polish on Diablo III over the next two months and delivering the ultimate action-RPG experience to gamers worldwide starting on May 15.”

    Diablo III will be available for Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 and Macintosh® at a suggested price of $59.99 USD for both the retail DVD-ROM version and the digital version sold directly from Blizzard. A special alabaster-white Collector’s Edition, sold exclusively in retail stores at a suggested retail price of $99.99 USD, will include the full game on DVD-ROM, a behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD two-disc set, the Diablo III soundtrack CD, a 208-page Art of Diablo III book, and a 4 GB USB soulstone (including full versions of Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction®) and corresponding Diablo skull base, as well as exclusive in-game content for Diablo III, World of Warcraft®, and StarCraft® II: Wings of Liberty®.


    So you want to pre-purchase the game? It's simple enough. Head on over to the Battle.net purchase page for Diablo III. Or, if you're still playing World of Warcraft, there is also a way to get Diablo III for free if you purchase a year's subscription to WoW.

    Diablo III was announced back in June of 2008.

    Why bother having a digital download if both the retail version and the digital download version cost exactly the same. That's just beyond stupid.

        The Client at present is 7.6Gb and you can download it now. Well after you buy it from the Blizzard Store. Just waiting for April 10th so I can pre-order GW2.
