No, Gamespot are stocking it, so I'd expect other places to start showing it soon.

Still think £70 is too much but I do love Diablo.

It's far better value that other Collectors editions for other games at the same price I've seen.

Diablo 2 + Expansion, 208 page hard back, sound track, two disk making of set, and the USB stick / skull thing. Not to mention exclusive content for SC2, WoW and D3. For ~£35 more than the base game? Not too bad I think.

Would be nice if they'd chucked in the Book of Cain with it, but as I've got that already, I'm not too fussed. :p
 
Just a little news (sorry not of the release date type :p)


Diablo III has recently been presented with a Cinematics award for 'Outstanding Visual Effects in an Animated Commercial or Video Game Trailer’

Looks absolutely fantastic, I hadn't seen that trailer as yet and glad they are already getting some recognition for the game, I just hope that the game lives up to all the hype :)
 
Some nice juicy RMAH news from Blizzard
In the near future, we'll be implementing several changes to the posting limits and fees related to the beta version of the Diablo III auction house. Here’s a quick summary of what’s in store:

Listing fee is being removed.
Transaction fee is being increased to 1.25 Beta Bucks.
Minimum listing price is being raised to 1.50 Beta Bucks.
You will be limited to 10 active auctions per auction house.

With the removal of the listing fee, players will no longer need to worry about whether they’re going to run out of free listings for the week. In addition, introducing a limit on the number of active auctions means players won’t feel as though they should be trying to sell everything they find, potentially flooding the auction house with unwanted items. Under this new system, players will only pay an auction house fee if and when an item actually sells. This has the main advantage of allowing players to try to sell their items risk-free. In addition, because the transaction fee is already baked into the price when an item is listed (as part of the minimum listing price), it’s no longer possible to be in a situation where you don’t have enough Battle.net Balance to list an item, forcing you to have to charge up your Balance just to attempt a sale. We think this will be a much cleaner process for selling items and will ultimately lead to a better experience when using the currency-based auction house.

This new active-auction limit will also apply to the gold-based auction house. Because gold can be sold on the currency-based auction house, we need to ensure there are limitations on the gold auction house as well; otherwise, a player might be tempted to sell everything for gold and then sell that gold on the currency-based auction house, which isn’t supportive of the kind of thriving item-driven market we’re trying to foster. In addition, for the first time in the beta test, we're planning to have both the gold- and currency-based auction houses active at the same time when these changes go live. Of course, one of our main goals in making these changes to the beta is to test how they’ll work out, and we look forward to hearing your feedback once you have a chance to try them.

So looks like this could have been one of the major things holding up the release, sorting out the fees. And since they aren't charging a listing fee anymore, they've potentially taken a huge hit to their profits. A change for the better in the players favour, shocked :D
 
As it was the featured article on the main page of the site and going by the peoples' responses to it I presumed it was new info confirming the details that had been posted previously.

Apologies if this isn't the case :)

CE contents has been known for quite a while, but its only been recently that you could pre-order it in the UK ;)
 
I've preordered the collector's edition, wonder if it's worth getting a couple. The Deus Ex one sold for so much that I almost made a profit and got to play the game from two copies!
 
Pre ordered the collectors edition.

I was also one of the lucky 5 to post a correct answer to Diablo Fan's latest facebook comp. So looks like I get a beta key :D
 
Seems announcement of the release date is imminent.

"We think you're going to love Diablo III when it's released, and speaking of release plans, you can seriously expect a launch-date announcement from us in the near future. See, I didn’t say “soon,” so I’m not taunting you. ;) You’ll know as soon as I know for sure the exact date."
