Posted 8 February 2012 by EllyNo release date as yet but it hasn’t stopped an increase to pre-orders for Diablo 3. According to the latest US pre-order figures from our friends over at VGChartz, Diablo 3 is sitting in second place just behind EA’s Mass Effect 3. Diablo 3 is also the only PC-exclusive title in the top 10 list which is pretty impressive when you consider what it is up against.

- Mass Effect 3 (360)
- Diablo III (PC)
- Kinect Star Wars (360)
- Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (360)

Preordered it 3 times, from 3 different stores to reduce the risk of one outlet stuffing up my order on release day… Am I addicted?
No you are not addicted. You cant be addicted to something that doesnt yet exist (except in your head). The correct diagnosis would brobably be: OCD.
If you’re checking this site on a regular basis, you may be addicted.
I’m addicted.
I pre-ordered two copies on Amazon.com about half a year ago, one for myself and one for my girlfriend.
Did yall recently start dating? If not that might have been a tad bit presumptuous.
Wait… what? It would be presumptuous if they hadn’t recently started dating? That makes no sense… Also, he just said he did it about 6 months ago so they’ve been dating sometime longer than that. That wouldn’t be considered recent to most people…
Numero uno. It was a joke. Dos. I have no idea how long they have been dating and neither do you. I was simply trying to wink at the fact that he was preodering a game which some have speculated would not release till much later with the assumption that the two of them would still be together at the time.
preordered my CE way back when it was announced! Despite everyone (it seems) complaining about most features I could not be more psyched for a release!
Cancelled my CE preorder, kinda changed my mind about the value of the included stuff. Think I’m just gonna get the digital version
Still waiting till the shop I always order from puts the CE version up for preorders, they emailed me that it’ll happen when Blizz announces a release date ._.
Are they even going to have some to give to that shop by that point? Most places had pre-orders up months ago and have run out.
Pre-ordered through WoW’s annual subscription. Does it count as pre-order tough?
I don’t think it does sadly. Part of me feels guilty for not helping set a sales record with this subscription.
I will wait for a release date before any preorder. WIth that said its good to see a PC exclusive on that list, although from all the bull**** with bnet 2.0 and the other crap ActiBlizz has been cooking up this is probably the last ‘good’ game that Blizzard will ever make. (I have a feeling it will be good from beta impressions, but I could be wrong)
Pre-ordered CE version from GAME but only put $10 bucks down in case they don’t get any CE versions(you think it wont happen but it does).
They actually charged you when you pre-ordered?
They don’t charge you but they give you the option to put money down on it. Mostly to see if your serious about getting the game, but it can also be used as a payment plan.
I have been stopping by my local GameStop and putting 10 bucks on the CE every few weeks so that when it comes out I will have paid it all off and all I will have to do is pick it up. I am hoping maybe I can even get them to give it to me early. Like say 12 o’clock eastern time (I am on western time so 9 my time) At least then I will be able to start playing the same time the east cost does.
And if they finally had a release date for D3, it would be #1.
true that!
Waiting for the release date. Impatiently
Same. Excited but don’t want the shop holding my money for months.
They don’t. At least they shouldn’t be… Most retailers don’t actually charge you ’til it ships.
it’s number 2 now.
after release it will be number 2 only to Duke Nukem Forever
Are you one of the 611,692 IDIOTS that have pre-ordered the game? I’m sooo gonna laugh my ass off when those stores can’t deliver a damn thing when they reach their self-given release date.
Idiots? There is a big difference between preordering and actually believing a non-Blizz release date!
what are you on about? it’s the exact same thing. you wouldn’t preorder if you didn’t believe the store’s displayed release date. say you pay 100 bucks for the CE, they charge you (depending on the store, some don’t until they’re ready to ship it), your money’s sitting in their pocket and you sit there waiting for months and months for a release date…….and nothing happens.
I’m not sure what you are on about! I preorder because I want something short in supply, in this case the CE. And for your information I have not yet paid a cent. Ofcourse it is stupid to pay for something months in advance if you are not even sure what the price will be! But to call all those people stupid just for preordering is ignorant!
Ever heard of Cash on delivery?
Your the idiot <3
You are a moron Solomon… You don’t have to believe a store’s fake release date to pre-order the game. Most people have pre-ordered the CE so they can actually get it when it’s released instead of having to wait for them to get more. Plus, most (at least the reputable ones) retailers don’t hold your money at all and only charge you when the game is shipped. Sorry that you are so jaded because of the delays, but that doesn’t mean you should go around ridiculing people for wanting to have a guarantee they’ll get a physical copy on release day.
Last time I preordered was Starcraft II. I got it 2 days after release due to importing from amazon.co.uk, but saved half the money compared to german store prices. Pretty good trade off for a game I cared about playing, but wasn’t fanatic.
This time I won’t preorder and probably won’t import the game. I just can’t wait the two days, even after waiting 5 freaking years. It would be too much to see everyone play and I can’t because I wanted to save 15 Euro. I’ll just buy it the morning the stores open. Getting into the inner part of the city, buying the game and getting back home is something like 40 minutes for me. Thats JUST BARELY bareable xD
Almost same here but I’m gonna preoder the CE.
CE from UK 66 € (****ing gamestop not shipping; my favorite shop doesn’t have it yet)
Normal Edition Germany 60 €
CE Germany 100 €
I got SC2 last time per import 2 days before release so I don’t worry about the delivery time.
I couldn’t care less for a pre-order. It’s just a financing strategy for retailers…
For the most part your right. If you not planing on getting the CE there isn’t really a reason to pre-order. Most large stores will carry enough normal copies to cover the walk-ins.
I pre-ordered standard version so I get Amazon.co.uk lowest listed price guarantee as such I already saved £5 minimum of off the RRP (that is if it retails at the UK standard £30 price, more likely it going to retail at £35 like Starcraft 2 did some games charge £40).
