Those of you looking forward to sinking many hours into the latest installment of the Diablo franchise have one more thing to be happy about. Just like with earlier game releases from Blizzard such as StarCraft 2 and World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm, you will be able to purchase a collector’s edition of Diablo 3.
Game releases must pass through
regulatory bodies for approval, and the British Board of Film Classification
(or BBFC) has announced that a collector’s edition of Diablo 3 has made it through their process with no cuts to content required.
What can we expect from a
Blizzard collector’s edition? Like the StarCraft 2 CE, it will probably be
priced at $99. So far, the only confirmed extra is a DVD. The content of this
DVD is unknown, but it will probably be a “making of” type of deal.
The rest of the the CE
can be inferred by looking at what Blizzard has offered in such
packages before. StarCraft 2 came with extras like an art book, a comic book, a
soundtrack CD and a special edition jump drive in addition to a “behind the
scenes” DVD.
Is the extra swag worth the extra $40 on the price tag? Well, that is up to you.
