Diablo III Gets UK Street Date - Priced Same for Digital and Boxed
Seriously, digital and boxed copies of the game costing makes joke of previous arguments.
Diablo III will be available on May 15th... 2012. There we've said it. Or rather Activision Blizzard has said it, officially. It's also said that the game will be available, "at a suggested retail price of £44.99 for both the retail DVD-ROM version and the digital version sold directly from Blizzard."
It's possible that this makes arguments regarding the price difference in boxed and digital due to packaging, stock-keeping, warehousing and transport logistics being made entirely hilarious.
If you must get the digital version, "Blizzard also kicked off global digital presales for Diablo III today. Would-be wizards, witch doctors, demon hunters, barbarians, and monks throughout the world should head to http://www.blizzard.com/games/d3/ now to reserve their digital copies."
There is, of course, a special edition:
- "A special alabaster-white Collector’s Edition, sold exclusively in retail stores at a suggested retail price of £69.99, 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. Diablo III has received a 15 rating from the BBFC."
