I vote mumble since it's OCN supported.

And I thought all you needed was my profile page? I posted my profile link in the spreadsheet last night, did it not save?

So I just spotted this on incGamers. People are actually already camping in front of stores for the D3 release

http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/crazy-swedes-start-camping-for-diablo-3-launch

What do you guys think about this?

Already? I don't know, I mean, I have my normal copy pre-ordered for midnight pickup at Gamestop because I failed to secure a CE. I'm going to waltz over to Walmart that's in the same shopping center at 12:30 after I get my copy from GameStop to go see if there are any CE's on the shelves, I'm expecting to not see ANYONE there, but maybe I'm delirious.

If that doesn't work, I'm going to go to Target about an hour before they open, I'm also expecting not to see anyone at line at Target at 6am on a Tuesday, but again, maybe I'm just naive.

I camped 4 days for the PS3, and then sold 3 of them for $1000 profit EACH.

I live in IA, so it was about 15F during the day at that time of year, we were seeing negatives at night. Longest 4 days of my life.

They won't be on the shelves at midnight, they will still be in the back. They normally don't stock until like 2AM. You will have to ask someone to get them out of the back, and expect some guy to buy ALL of them for resell. There's also rumors that no stores will be stocking these on shelves because they reallocated all stock for their online preorders (because they didn't have enough to fill them all).

I know people that bought ~50 CEs for resell. They will get about $200 each, and after paypal fees it's about $80 profit. That's $4,000. Sadly, if my best buy order doesn't go through and I don't find any at Walmart.. i'll end up spending $200 for my CE. I'd like to avoid it but I plan on playing this game for a decade, on and off.

In regards to the Feat of Strength achievement mentioned by Murlocke and zulli85, I think that it is a poorly thought out decision. Rewarding players simply for being chosen to participate by mere chance should warrant no preferential treatment or special in-game perks. After all, being chosen for the beta is enough of a perk in and of itself.

That being said, for those who actually completed ALL beta achievements (I forget which was the ultimate, BetaMaxed or Overachiever), then I say by all means, reward them with the Feat of Strength achievement. Give the credit to the players who took the time to devote to finishing the beta, not simply everyone you chose to send an invite to. Some beta testers hardly played it at all. I know a handful myself who got bored with it after a week or so, and didn't log back in again. (I have no comment on the overall sanity of said people, but my point still stands.) Not everyone who received a beta invite appreciated it the way the majority of us posting in this thread would have.

In the end, this will have no effect on me playing or enjoying the game, however it is somewhat of a slap in the face of anyone who didn't get chosen to play based off of whatever Blizzard's requirements or reasons were behind who they chose for beta testers. It is what it is I guess.

Id rather not have a bunch of signatures on my sexy CE box

Yeah I planned on going and asking them for one out of the back if it even exists.

Target never released the CE to be pre-ordered online, so that to me means there's pretty much a guarantee they'll be on the shelves come 7am on launch day.

Do you guys really think that there won't be any CE's available ever again? I mean you can still get SC2 CE's , I wouldn't think that D3 would be any different. I refuse to pay 180+ for it, I'm a die hard D3 fan, but I don't need wings and dye's that much. I already have D2 & LOD in original boxes w/serials. Artwork, Soundtrack, and Blu-Rays are only worth so much to me. I really just want the in-game content, and its not worth paying double retail.

IMO, the only reason they are getting so much for them is because people want them ON launch day. Hell even NewEgg and Walmart says that their ETA for restock is 05/15/2012. I think the demand for the CE is immediately going to be filled a week or 2 after launch, and they'll be back to sitting on the shelves for $99.99.

Yeah I doubt they'll stay out of stock also. The people who bought 50 are going to have a really hard time selling them overpriced probably.

Guys, I just bought Diablo 3, never played the first two, im a complete noob and I dont know what the hell i'll be doing... is there like a noob tutorial? i suck at rpgs
