I purchased mine from Game personally i usually go through b.net but they made a **** up on my big order. So they gave me £30 in reward card credit so i got my self the limited edition when it was available with the Cayde 6 figure.

Now i have a spare code from purchasing my brother his 1080ti that i'll give my brother as a Xmas present :p
I purchase LE for PC from Game, been hearing that they messed up on the stock allocation for D2, so hopefully it turns up. Also intrigued to see if they give you a physical disk? I can't remember the last time I installed with a disc on PC... :p

I have got a 4K tv hooked up to my 980Ti also but it doesn’t have GSync and Now tearing really bothers me lol.

If you're like me and you use a controller on the big screen the input delay with vsync isn't anywhere as bad as it can be with a mouse. I know that for D2 on PC it felt exactly the same as it did on D1.

LE from GAME for £79. It has been pulled from the website so hopefully they're still honouring some orders at least. I haven't received a cancellation email yet.

Same as me. I had my order up within seconds of it being live thought so like to think I made it in time.

I might give it a go. My PC and 4K Tv are in the same room so just need a long HDMI cable to give it a go. Would be nice for PvE and Raids.


Edit.

Is anyone double dipping with the console versions? I'm tempted to grab the PS4 version and then trade it in before the PC release. But it's going to feel so archaic after playing the PC version for a good 10 or so hours

Yes, PS4, forgive me for I have sinned :p I'm too impatient and would end up reading all the spoilers anyway. I'll try to hold back by just using one character and learning the best practices ready for PC

Positives for me are the Adventures, Lost Sectors and Treasure maps. As well as the updates to Public Events. I'm hoping it will take the focus away from grinding strikes.

Secondly, I'm assuming that there are way more than 50 Exotics e.g. hidden quest lines, Raid rewards etc. None of the unique Raid or Trials / Iron Banner gear is listed either.

I really didn't want to as I just cancelled my PS+ but as you said, it'll be hard avoiding spoilers

I was flip flopping but decided to Lee purchase for console. I know the console community is good and I trust it to remain so I don't want to risk a new platform and the experience be ruined.

Regardless of platform sure it will be great though!

How is an i3 beating the 1700? Having second thoughts about this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtB3uirEhbY&t=2s

The beta build isn't the finished product, it wasn't making use of all the cores however it ran smooth for me @ 3440x1440 and various other people on a 1700 with different gpus not one of us said that it was unplayable. If 1 benchmark on a site is stopping you from buying / playing D2 then I hate to think how many games you don't play.
