Diablo III's Collector's Edition is Killer
« on: November 29, 2011, 01:41:52 pm »
I'm super hyped about Diablo III, if not more excited for it than I was for Diablo II when it launched. I was doing some searching around and found info on their collector's edition for it. It looks pretty bad ass, and that Diablo skull? omgwant. This set looks like such a better deal than the, also awesome, Skyrim CE. I'll be getting it for sure.

By the way, who else is planning to get Diablo III when it launches? My cousin and I are both getting it and will be more than likely playing online constantly.

@madmax perhaps it's behind an age gate? I have no problem getting to that page...

I'm hyped for D3 for sure, D2 being amongst my most played games ever. What I've seen so far is looking really cool, I can't wait to actually play it (Blizzard better not delay it, we've been waiting for quite a while).
But I have no interest in the collector's edition... Yeah, the Diablo skull is cool, but not worth the extra money to me, and there's nothing else interesting in there (artbooks and behind-the-scene DVDs don't interest me).

Blizzard, more than any other company, always makes their collectors editions amazing.

@jobocan I see your point. I love making of documentaries and artbooks though (Still need to find a copy of Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar...) and compared to the $150 price tag of Skyrim, this seems well worth the extra money to me. :)

I'm all over this as well, I spent hundreds of hours on Diablo II... This just gives me another reason to upgrade my PC.

@varkias I'm calling dibbs on the Demon Hunter right now. I checked my stats on my PC, I should have no problem running this on it. Maybe a slight video card upgrade for optimized performance, but as far as processor speed and RAM, I should be sitting pretty.

Blizzards games also never demand super high specs which is another reason they are so wonderful ha.

@Scott. I don't know what gpu you have but soon the nvidea 600 series is gonna come out. The 460 gtx and 560 will be really affordable. I have a 460 with a slight Overclock and I can run skyrim on high with some settings at ultimate. The 460 is already sub$200. It'll be really affordable soon and its pretty solid for a casual gamer. The 560 is also worth looking into.

heck. ill even sell you my 460 (1gb) for cheap if you really want one :p

My system is a Dell XPS 630, which I bought in '08. My current video card is the one that shipped with it, which is a nVidia GeForce 8800 GT 512mb. I'd be tempted to update if i was going to get serious about PC gaming again. I think it should handle Diablo 3 just fine though.

I'd take you up on the offer, if i wasn't spending $400+ on a new kit for snow season and Christmas wasn't coming up...

you're 2 generations behind the 260 :/ The 8800 is pretty ancient. it was a beast back in the day though.

Ya my machine is nearly 4 years old. It runs New Vegas cranked up just fine... but ya it's old. That's one thing I don't like about PC gaming.
