I wonder if any console features will find there way to PC version. Would at least like controller support for when I feel like playing at the couch.
They are boost orbs.
I hear people saying that other orbs (like health) will extend the time of the buff but i don't know if that is true.
I actually wish they'd add this too, but I'm pretty sure they stated they would never consider it for PC.
Can't stop trolling ZwuckeL's chat, too entertaining. Watching makes me kinda wish I still had a console as I'd play this version.

Doesn't seem to be up digitally. Xbox 360 doesn't seem to have a same-day digital option like PS3 and Wii U, sadly.
Every PS3 game I've played does not allow multiple PSN accounts to sign in for local play.
Nope... Doesn't seem to be on the radar next week either according to Major Nelson's latest post.
Does not appear to be present in the games on demand section (UK). It's up on PSN though, for a retarded price.

I couldn't wait so I went and bought it from Asda.
What difficulty should I start with? Medium or Hard?

It could be months before it's available digitally on the 360.
I just ordered the 360 version from Toys R Us for $44.99 but I'll have to go pick it up on Saturday.
Medium/Hard changes the MP right? So that means you get more XP/MF? if so i am starting out on medium/hard.
Wait, the difficulties don't work the same as the PC version?

There are still Normal, Nightmare, Hell and Inferno to work through.
But then also difficulty within each of those.
Normal = MP0
Medium = MP2
Hard = MP4
etc
From what I know from playing the PC version and leveling up a couple toons there, playing on MP0 works the fastest. Once you get to lvl 15 try to get a hold of a helmet with a socket and put a ruby in it. Try to wear + exp gear in every slot. You can even rush from objective to objective like that without clearing entire maps, you'll still outlvl the game by the time you're 60.
So that would be playing on easy for the console version. Not sure how that comparison holds up though. It's not like you can go out and buy flawless square gems and items with sockets and + exp on the AH...
Or you could also decide to just have fun and not powergame.

I have gotten every character to 60 on PC so i am not buying it for the story. I NEED DAT LOOT. 15 minutes till the store opens so i am gonna head out before my head cold disables me from driving.

Yeah, I have a shitload of time on the PC version, so I'm also in the boat where I want to hit 60/Inferno ASAP just to see the differences at that point. I totally agree though that if you haven't played the game before just roll with it and don't worry about that
Bummed that the PC version is down for another ~4 hours for maintenance, can't even get my fix that way. Hopefully my copy of this shows up today.

Is this game always connected online? I've never played Diablo, and my Xbox 360 copy is arriving today. Just curious!

That's only the PC one.
Cool, thanks. Haven't been keeping up with the specifics of the port.
I haven't played either of those games, I was only speaking from my experience.
well its indeed rare.
those are the only two games ive seen this. Which is even more irritating because inferno pool is a really small psn title that is years old.
more games should take advantage of the feature, when even such a small title does it.

Bah jealous now, will just have to buy it on the PS4
Got my first legendary in act 2 - a ring with some of good stats that complement my class. Have to say I'm loving this. I hit level 60 on PC and I'm having more fun, comfy couch and all that. Plus I'm spending my time playing the game, not dropping to the auction house every time I hit a portal.
Also - my god the wizard rocks. Way faster and more intimidating than my witch doctor ever was.

Fuck, I wanna buy this today but I do not wanna drop 60 for it, any place selling it lower or maybe I could price match someplace? Help!
I see toys r us still has it for 45 but I need a place that takes trade ins cause I have no money atm (well, just a bit but that's it) what to do...

Damn. I cannot decide between versions. Haven't heard from my friends whether or not they're getting it.

I preordered ps3 version at gamestop but bailed due to DF saying 360 better version
They price matched toys at target for $45 so bought 360 version there instead
Shows on front "Infernal Helm" but nothing else. Can anyone confirm they get the other stuff like angelic wings (not the PS3 exclusives items obviously)

For people worried about monster density and framerate:
I had to pause it but I put the health bars on so you could see them better. Framerate is solid too. No dips. This is on hard difficulty in case you can't see it in the image.

I can't believe I'm buying a game for £50.
EDIT:
This is one of those games that I just wouldn't want the disk on.
Oh well, traded some games yesterday and used some GAME reward points to top up my wallet so it doesn't sting quite so much.
Fifty quid, mate???? Even Game is selling for less...
Yeah I know, (publisher set) PSN prices.
I *never* buy retail games from there day one (and seldom PSN titles), but this is one game that I know I'll play on and off forever (or until the PS4 version hits) so paid for the convenience.
I traded a load of crap anyway, so it's not as painful to my wallet. It's the principle that stings - I seldom pay more than £15 for anything game related any more.
EDIT: It's also one of only two franchises that gets me to buy from Activision. My mind mentally blocks that word out when I buy Blizzard games.

PlayStation version doesn't have option for install i'f u buy retail unless I'm being retarded
Man, the dodge roll feels and looks really awkward. As if it is skipping a few frames, and at least on Demon Hunter, the landing is a smidge backed up over where the roll should have ended. So nitpicky, but it just looks and acts so awkward it's hard not to notice. Just expected more polish from Blizzard adding that in.
Not a full install, but some of them have a mandatory install for some game files (to keep performance up due to the slow read speed of the BR).
Both online and off?

Can anyone who did not preorder confirm on 360 they got the items
since front cover only says infernal helm
since front cover only says infernal helm
As far as I know the Infernal Helm is in all first run copies, the other items are pre-order exclusive.

Is the preorder DLC in box or on receipt? Gonna pick it up from Toys r Us but their site said nothing about the DLC
