I'm still alittle on the fence about buying it. I want to but the idea of being able to sell and buy ingame items for real money is the big one. I'll see how my finances are closer to the date.

Discuss or else!

You people should add to the discussion instead of just running my thread into the ground.

The Diablo 1 was on PS1 but that was a long shot as far as console Diablo goes.

I've been pumped for this game ever since they first announced it. I want to get it for the pc but I don't think my computer could handle it. So I'll most likely get it for the ps3. I used to play diablo 1 & 2 all the time. I'm pretty sure I spent my summer of 07 just playing Diablo 2 haha. For me, it's just one of those games that never get old. As far as this game, I have no clue what class I will pick. I'm kind of thinking of being a demon hunter, but who knows.

This is being rushed honestly. I have only started hearing about this late last year and now this release date? Two months? It's not going to deliver a quality product in my opinion. Just because this is the Diablo franchise doesn't mean it is going to generate dollars regardless. Too many franchises and big time green-generators out there to risk releasing a shitty game.

I think it's been a few years since it was first announced Nick. I think it was announced in 08 or 09. Actually, the game was supposed to come out sometime in the 4th quarter last year.

Diablo 2 came out in 2000. Diablo 3 was announced in 2008. If 4 years is a rush than you must be hangin' out with Valve too much.

You should really do your homework first "The Nicker" it's projected to sell 5 million copies worldwide and the closed beta has been out since Dec.
