15th may!!
I'm quite happy with the date tbh, gives me and my mate a chance to finally go through Diablo 2 and the expansion finally before it's released. We always end up doing the first 2 or 3 chapters then playing something else, so will be good to finally do the whole thing together

Is GW2 definitely the 10th of April?
/Takei: oh my...
How is this shaping up? I've been playing Path of Exile a LOT and undecided wether I should stick with that or both.

It's just the pre-orders for GW2 on 10th April, the release date for the game is still unknown and could be December for all anyone knows.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting the collectors edition. Amazon's pre-order is now live, just placed my order. Thought I'd missed out.
Well, it's £15 basically, assuming you'd have otherwise bought two 6 month subs for £46.14 each
So £15.60, you can get it for £33 in retail.
Most people will think of it as a free game but in reality it doesn't work out like that at all:
- how many players have time to play WoW 12 months in a year
- how many of those will have time to play both WoW and Diablo 3
- how many would decide against resubscribing if it weren't for the promotion
Diablo III is £33 from Amazon, I bet you will be able to get it for £30 or less before release if you look around.
60 days pre-paid cards for WoW cost around £15-16, get a few of these and activate when you play, take a break when you get Diablo III and when playing is not
Buying the pre-paids and D3 from Amazon (or elsewhere, if cheaper) will give you over 9 months of gameplay and the game + some change and no need to be bound by the year long contract.
Also, you don't feel pressure to play the game because you've already paid for it and you can control your finances better.
It's a great marketing from Blizzard but in no way is it a good offer for most players.

I never said it was a good offer for most people, I said it was for those that would be subbed to wow for the year anyway.

Hmmm £70 for the CE is a bit to much

It could be worse, a lot of games like SWTOR and GW2 charge £130 for their collectors edition.

I cant see what all the excitements about, ive watched a few vids on youtube, and it looks a bit dated etc, really
Gameplay is more important than looks.

Fair enough, but you would have expected it to move on? so whats new about it?
Yeah, it's a good offer for regular subscribers but not a huge saving nonetheless.
Been considering it myself but I figured out I cannot contribute to playing WoW for 12 months straight so it would be a waste of money anyhow.

For sure. D2 for me is the daddy of them all!

BTW, if you want to use time cards, buying 6 for £16 each will give you the years WoW sub required, as well as Diablo 3, which is cheaper than the 5 time cards and buying Diablo 3, or £2 more than buying 4 time cards as well as Diablo 3 for £30 (that's actually £1 more expensive still, if you can only get Diablo for £33).
