Off, no. Standby, yes.
Ooooh! Thanks dude!
I'd pay the 10$ in a flash, if I were in your shoes.
Buy and return. Decision made.
mom and pop stores don't give cash back, you get store credit and not the whole of what you pay for, because they are so small they say they lost a sale because you're returning the article, i have diablo 3 on my pc and i can boot it up until tuesday if i get the itch to play it, is just that i played the demo on ps3 and man this game feels right at home with controller, crazy, now i kinda want torchlight 2 on ps4 as well, that game with a controller would be bonkers

Just determine what's worth more to you. Saving $10 or playing it on day one.
actually i save 10 if i play it on day one, i wouldn't it if i play it on day -3
On PS3 it was only vibrating when you reach low health. If it vibrated on every skill use the battery would probably deplete in 30 minutes

Pretty sure it also vibrates when these enemies drop down from the sky in Act IV.
Ah yeah I think your right. Forgot this instance.

heh..
Thank you, that was what I figured. Thanks for the heads up, there was a reason I asked you the question and not some random person in this thread who is superbly confident in their ignorance.

Probably a stupid question, as I realize saves can transfer from last-gen to current-gen, but my Diablo 3 PS3 saves and characters will be usable with the UEE on PS3, correct?
I'll just trade in the old game for the new one if that's the case.
Now to decide whether I should continue with my monk, or create a crusader to experience all the new content from the beginning.

Yes, that's how it works. If you're staying on PS3 (so am I), you just buy UEE, pop in the disc, and you're good to go.

Cheers.
Is adventure mode available right from the start with any character, or do you need to beat the game at least once in order to access it?

I know seasons aren't coming to consoles but have blizzard said anything about the new legendaries possibly coming over to consoles once seasons end on pc? don't care to much for seasons but I would love for new legendaries added to the game over time

i'm sure it'll be included in the day-one patch.
After playing a lot of Monk on PC vanilla I switched to Crusader in RoS.
When leveling, just use whatever you think works. I honestly can't remember my build from 1-70.
At 70, Crusaders are very gear dependent for end-game builds. There are two items (Gyrfalcon's Foote which is a flail, and Jekingboard which is a shield) that allow you to spam Blessed Shield at no wrath cost and have it ricochet to several enemies. This is a popular Crusader build in the lower Torments as it allows you to farm so efficiently. Your first order of business upon hitting 70 should be gambling for shields with your blood shards at Kadala in the hopes of landing a Jekingboard.
I used that build to gather my class set pieces and then transitioned to two other builds: Firestarter and Holy Shotgun. The builds are fire damage and holy damage focused, respectively, and are reliant on other legendaries - Darklight flail for Firestarter and Fate of the Fell for Holy Shotgun.
I personally think Crusaders are one of the most fun classes to play - they are extremely durable due to carrying around a shield all the time and become more of a mid-range caster class at 70.
What is recommended class for someone playing Diablo for the first time? I have not played many loot games like this before either - I played Balders Gate on the PS2 back way in the day and some of the Torchlight games. Also thinking of playing on Hard or Expert on my first go?

You have to beat the game at least once.
Apparently yes, and the FAQ says you need to transfer it via USB. I haven't gotten it to work yet.

Depends on your play style, really. Barbarians are the obvious choice if you like pure melee. Monk if you like melee with a bit more of a technical aspect than just brute force. I played a Monk on the PC version, and a Wizard on console. I usually gravitate toward melee characters, but the wizard was very refreshing, and is capable of dealing insane damage with the right build.

Wow at those Legendary drop rates! During my vanilla PC playthroughs I got only TWO Legendaries and now I'm halfway through the first act with 5 Legendaries. Got one amulet by just breaking a set of vases in a dungeon... But I'm totally fine with that =D I found one bug though: I enabled the option to show character names above players when I started the game. Then I disabled it later on and now the game won't show those level up/new skill pop-ups anymore =/
Sucks that I had already made some plans for the weekend so I can't play again until Monday morning.

There is no automatically forced sync, you will keep your 360 save.
You just upload a copy of your save file to battle.net for use on other platforms. This does not delete your original save file. You can still play on your 360.

Woops, I should have checked the OT of course. Added PSN ID on there. Will be checking that google docs and adding friends.
Once you find a good weapon your damage will go through the roof.
I still don't know which class to play.
Crusader, Demon Hunter or play as a Barbarian again.

Well I remember that during the Q&A gamespot had with Johnny Ebbert (Lead Console Designer) and Tiffany Wat ( Lead Producer) when the question was asked about importing game saves from last-gen to next-gen consoles Johnny Ebbert did make a snide quick remark about all items/progression will transfer over "except for hacked items". Whether this was a underhanded remark or a serious statement (or both) I would hope their would be a "sanity check" that is used on imported saves in their cloud server.
I am not a coder/programmer myself, but I would like to think your idea of a sanity check could be completely inside the realm of possibility. The duping and hacked items issue was bad on PS3, but typically those players restricted themselves to Master V difficulty.
I have fond memories of running into players with hacked gear and them asking ME to dupe MY items for them. What a freaking joke. I do have a theory that perhaps in D3: UEE that when a player uses the enchantress to re-roll a stat on a item that it makes it account bound, but we wont know till release. Perhaps the day 1 patch or a patch immediately following launch will implement something that keeps hacked items in checked.
Well sadly there are cheaters running around doing 20 million damage pre-70 already. Doesn't look like any sanity check was implemented.

While hearing that pisses me off. I would hope a solution could be implement by patch, but I guess we will wait and see. Guess I might just restrict myself to playing with other Gaffers.
There is a check it just misses a lot of stuff. I figured they would not take effort to make a real check since it would be time consuming. I am sure trying to get the game running on last gen took most of the development time sadly. Only thing we can do is put each other on friends list and stick to playing friends only. Know if you are trading in a public game that gear is tainted.

Wouldn't it be nice if Blizzard/Sony let us all download now and play this weekend!
they won't

I agree it is one of the things that should be standard with digital purchase. If they won't give price discounts letting digital play a couple of days early would be a nice free perk.
Some questions:
Do normal 360 Diablo 3 saves work for UEE 360 version? Don't see mentions about this in the OP.
The FAQ comments that last gen versions have framerate issues, does that mean they have more issues than the normal last gen Diablo 3?
How long is the Act 5, how replayable? Is it good?

If the game is getting certain upgrades then you should notice a few more dips here and there, but as a pc type who likes console diablo the fps is quite servicable.
I beat act 5 first night it came out within 7 hours and have been replaying various parts since. Act 5 is easily one of the better acts though I love Act 3 the most.
All versions get the day 1 2.0.6 patch. After that only next gen will get content patches.

@Krelian: Ultimate Evil Edition will include all the content updates and patches made to the PC game up to 2.0.5 on the disc (or digital download in the case of PS3 and PS4), and it will have a Day 1 patch on all platforms to bring it up to 2.0.6. We're currently exploring patch opportunities post-launch, but our focus right now is delivering an awesome game on August 19.
