HQ Video of D3CE Unboxing
Posted 10 May 2012 by FluxWe got that grainy video from Australia last week, which spawned controversy with the apparently black soulstone and Diablo skull. Hard to say how much of that was the poor video quality or just an irregularity in that batch of the product, since here’s a high quality video with good lightning, and the soulstone and skull look much more like the gray and dark red they were in the 
Diablo 3 Collector’s Edition promotional literature.
The video’s narrated in German, but you can enjoy the visuals even if you can’t understand the words. There are no spoilers; he doesn’t even open up opens the artbook and flips through it from 1:03 to 1:17 so avert your tender eyes. Thanks to aerial and Andreas for the tip.
Update: Some awesomely HQ photos of the contents, from Nanitereboot via Deviant Art. Two pics of the Art Book’s contents, but they only show a Barbarian and some monster concept art we’ve seen before, so spoiler free.
I want to see an unboxing of the standard edition. Not the one that just shows the outside of the box that’s floating out there.
I was one of the first to see the videochat transmission if this unboxing. I was so anxious to see what the new design is all bout. I watched this video without even blinking.
He clearly opens the artbook.
Indeed he does. I skipped ahead just a little bit when he started to go through it.
Sorry about that, guys. I was doing email and rushing to post this right before recording an interview with Max and I didn’t notice the artbook reveal, since it’s only 12s long. I updated the post with a warning.
Duuuuuude, he TOTALLY opens up the artbook! Some spoilery images there, although not so spoilery if you’ve already the Aussie unboxing video…
Indeed and I noticed they put art from one boss on another boss’s page (top right of the left page). Fail, Blizzard…
and idk that soulstone looks black with a reddish tint to me. watch the black soulstone video. the black soulstone had a red tint.
I want to see someone plug it into their computer. Though I’ll have the chance to do that on the 15th regardless.
Arrrrggghhhh, MY TENDER EYES !!!!
The Soulstone USB Stick will shine in lava red when plugged into the PC (Light effect)
Imo the skull base should have a usb cable leading to your PC and then you can plug the USB Soulstone into the Skull to access it on your PC which then would make the USB key glow red.
Thats an epic idea, I would of got the CE just for that.
Would look awsome all evil in a skull glowing on my desk
Blizzard please make this idea and sell it on the blizzard store we all want one.
Oh and it has to glow “not just light up” for added evilness.
friend of mine plans to use a dremel in the back of the skull and hook it up to do just that. i told him if he can i might have to pay him to do the same for me
What did he say about the “guest passes”?
not much:
“Oh nice extra guest passes, Oh noes! I guess I have to flip the cards to hide the Keys”
“Bla bla you could invite friends to play D3 with you…”
Which you can anyways bcs everyone will be able to play the trial version of D3 which will be the same as our beta was (i think) up to skeleton king.
Oh, I see…
Thanks!
Ummm he did open the book. Post needs to be corrected since he flipped through quite a few pages for concept art and mobs. Your typing went the complete opposite of your nerve impulses.
haha! yeah I was like “Uh Oh no spoilers please”
German language creeps me out, man.
you should learn it!
I think its one of the coolest languages.
jfc flux, I thought he didn’t open the book.
