In Diablo III, players take on the role of one of five heroic characters -- barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, or demon hunter -- and engage in pulse-pounding combat with endless legions of evil. As they undertake an epic quest to rid Sanctuary from the corrupting forces of the Burning Hells, players will explore diverse and perilous settings, grow in experience and ability, acquire artifacts of incredible power, and meet key characters who’ll join them in battle or aid them in other ways.
Diablo III was built from the ground up to leverage the full functionality of the Battle.net platform, which delivers powerful matchmaking and communication tools, allowing adventurers to seamlessly join forces for exciting cooperative play. Battle.net also provides a secure infrastructure for the Diablo III auction house, a feature-rich marketplace that Sanctuary’s heroes can use to trade their hard-earned treasures. Players will be able to buy and sell weapons, armor, and other valuable items in the auction house in exchange for in-game gold. Players will also have the option to receive real-world currency for auction house sales, which they can apply to their Battle.net Balance for the purchase of a variety of digital products through Battle.net, including Diablo III auction house items, or cash out through a third-party payment service such as PayPal™ in most regions. Further details related to the auction house will be announced in the coming weeks.

Det er i det prisleje CE's plejer at koste, især fra Blizzard, og Coolshop plejer at være i den billigere ende. ;)

Hej, jeg havde ikke lige tid til at få læst hele threaded igennem (Mit internet virker ikke atm -.-)
Men er der nogen af jer der ved hvornår serverne kommer online? - Hvis man f.eks. har købt et digitalt kopi, vil man så kunne spille spillet fra kl. 9 dansk tid d.15 eller hvordan?
Fordi, hvis vi kan spille spillet kl. 12 på dagen, så betyder det jo at folk i USA vil kunne spille spillet allerede d. 14? :)
Hvis der er nogen der kan svare på dette ville det være awesome! :) - Thanks in advance.
