Despite still having quite a few unfinished, unplayed, and even two unopened
PlayStation 3 games, I've just pre-ordered the console version of
Diablo III. I'd heard of Blizzard's intention to make a console version of the game some time ago. I'd even seen several advertisements at retailers offering the 'Infernal Helm' as a pre-order incentive. But the thought of buying the console version of the game had never crossed my mind. That was until I watched a trailer showcasing the game-play of the console version of
Diablo III.
This was enough to peak an interest in watching a few more
Diablo III videos on
YouTube, and I eventually found myself on the
Diablo III website, where I found an
updated list of pre-order content. I'm not entirely certain these will be available for South African players, but I had a look at the two South African retailers anyway.
What I found,
one retailer is offering the 'Infernal Helm' and a
Diablo III keyring, while
the other is offering the 'Infernal Helm' and an art book as pre-order incentives. While I have a fairly large collection of keyrings, and the retailer offering the keyring may be slightly cheaper, I'd much rather get my heretical hands on the art book. So that's it, I pre-ordered
Diablo III, not because of the game, or the bonus in-game content, but for a book full of pictures of various monsters from the gaming realm of
Diablo.
Now to wait until 3 September, and hopefully by then I will have gotten my girlfriend into playing
PS3 with me through either
Portal 2 or
Borderlands.
