How exactly does that work? I get that it would be easy to track digitally, but does Amazon just ship the first batch with a code?
Possible to do at Target?

First Diablo game, thinking I'm gonna roll a Wizard and hard to start out. Any tips for me just jumping in?

For any bonuses not included in launch editions of the game, Amazon will email you a code you can just copy and paste. Or type in manually.

It's a great loot RPG. You'll always want the next piece of gear that is better than what you have. It becomes an addiction. It isn't the deepest RPG, all your stats are gear dependent, but the hunt for better gear is addictive, especially with some friends.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is similar but again it heavily based on the formula that took off when Diablo 2 was released. Many other developers made their own twist on the genre to capitalize on Diablo's success, which is why games like Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath, Dungeon Siege, Titan Quest, Fate, Torchlight, Sacred, etc were made.
Actually Torchlight 1 and 2 may be the most direct comparison outside of visuals because when Blizzard North was closed, Some of the Diablo 2 creators Eric and Max Schaefer, excluding David Brevik, formed their own studio Runic Games, along side Fate creator Travis Baldree which lead to the development of the Torchlight titles.
If you enjoyed the Dark Alliance games, then you'll easily enjoy Diablo III: RoS. It's definitely one of the pinnacle points of the genre, especially considering all of the changes implemented after Jay Wilson stepped down and could no longer impede in it's progress.
I'm confused about the TLoU/SotC content: is it actually a pre-order bonus or does it come with every copy of PS4 Diablo 3? The OP makes it sound like a pre-order bonus but the wording on the battle.net post isn't very clear. I won't have a PS4 till the Destiny bundle drops and I'm wondering if I should pre-order or just wait.
I'm pretty sure it's just a PS-exclusive.
My weekend is set!
damn so jelly here
Wish they would just unlock the game for digital preorders.
Anyway I'm ready myself with Hellfire rings and all my old PS3 exclusives.

For those of you playing on ps3 and X360 and upgrading, are you going to remove the gems off your current character as well as the tomes of blacksmithing and jewelcraft and leave them in your shared loot chest for your new characters on XB1 or ps4?
I Have two level 60 characters and wanted to roll a crusader for the new version.. Wanted him to have access to some decent jewels to socket early on.

The jewels that start dropping at level 61 are the highest tier pre-60 (Marquise)
true. but why would you play on nightmare at level 60 lol.
At least on PS3 for original Diablo 3, you could buy the pre order bonus helm as a separate purchase from the PSN Store. Hopefully that will be the case this time around as well.

I haven't played any of the console versions yet. Is there some kind of auto-aim for the skills?

I'm in the U.K. If I bought this from the U.S playstation store would there be any problems with lag?
No. I play the PC version on the American server and there are no problems.

Does the PS3 DLC work with the PS4 version? Just wondering if I should buy the DLC.

Buy it from the US store but play on your UK account, so you will be on EU servers.
I think?
Winter John

That's great thanks

That's what I was thinking of doing. So far I've only bought single player games from the U.S store because I wasn't sure if there would be problems with the servers

Well currently the console version have a fairly high drop rate imo. I doubt they will change that in the UEE version.
My concern is the lack of information I can find about importing multiple profiles into the PS4 version from PS3 version.
Have two other offline profiles that my friends use with char's on them. Hopefully it's a simple thing of creating&importing new offline profiles on the PS4.
Tuesday come faster!

what does the crusader scale with? is he a strength build?
Persona RS

Yes, the Crusader is a strength based class.

Based on the PS4 streams I've caught, the framerate looks good. Must resist the double dip.
Hmm. What do you mean by end game? Paragon level 999?
You are making me twitch over here in Tallinn. I might just jump on a ferry and browse your local stores...Street date broken here in Finland.
Fellow fingaffers, check your local Citymarkets.
I mean if the classes are all level 999, they would still be relatively balanced? Of course some classes might be more dps based but at the expense of defense/speed etc..

I decided my classes to play. I will start with a crusader then level a wizard. Hopefully should be a nice contrast to the demon hunter I played on PC!

If playing the original Diablo 3 and getting to 60 by the end of normal, you had no choice.
One needed to beat Normal, to unlock Nightmare, and play all through Nightmare to unlock Hell, and same to beat Hell just to get to Inferno.
You could not skip directly to Inferno.
The new difficulty progression with scaling and being able to adjust up T6 is much improved which means one isn't forced to go through the game multiple times to get the best rewards. Now how far you can go in the tiers is based on how well geared you are.
The frame rate is reportedly 60fps solid after the day one patch.

I can imagine. Even at streaming quality, I didn't notice any dips.

Cheers mate. Hopefully picking this one up tonight on XB1. Going to bring my characters and inventory over from X360 and start with a crusader
The beginning of the game has nothing going on though. I expect frame drops in endgame rifts. Even the PC version drops frames.

Well I just exported my characters on my 360 and I can't wait until next Tuesday when I buy this digitally on my X1, I was thinking about buying this on my PS4 but when they said it will be 1080p/60 as well on the X1 I'm going where all my friends are going and that's on the X1. I want this on my hard drive at all times and I'm pumped to play this with all my buddies again. I've put in over 400 hours on the PC version and I have no doubts I'll put the same amount of time into this version.

Graveyard Rift = The test of all tests.
Pretty much what I did also have poorly rolled hell fire ring for crusader. Can't complain to much a poorly rolled hellfire ring is still awesome at level 1. Also have a few pieces of level reduced gear for my crusader. I was going to jump right in with the crusader but decided to finish act 5 with wizard first to open adventure mode. Don't want to play through act 1-4 again lol. Also heard adventure mode is better EXP.
Very impressive!
GF wants to play this badly so I'm getting it for PS4. I have it on PC and I used to play it a lot, until they introduced (and bear with me here since I can't remember any names) those über hard enemies that were hiding behind portals where you had to find bosses somewhere in the map, kill them until they dropped something, gather enough somethings, open the portal in the town, enter it, kill the über boss, hope it drops something, repeat for several bosses, and craft an awesome ring.
Well, it took months for me to gather all the stuff, with the aid of some friends who were of higher level. I finally got everything I needed, and then I crafted.... the shittiest ring the world ever knew. I was SO enraged, I never ever grabbed Diablo III again. It just felt like... I dunno, a betrayal or something.
