Diablo III Collector's Edition (PC, 2012)

The packaging is beautiful. Probably the best of all the collector editions from any Blizzard game.
The demonic USB hub and 4GB thumb drive are a work of art and would look on any table. I would have liked a bigger capacity to actually make it useful for my needs, but it is big enough for most common users.
The level of detail in the art book is amazing, and the book itself is beautifully made.
The soundtrack has the feel of continuation from the original Diablo games. I like it as background music while I am doing stuff on the computer.
If you also play WoW and are a pet collector, then you will be glad to get one more for your collection.
The addition of Diablo II and its expansion is a nice touch. Convenient for people who were planning to play Diablo II as a refresher.
Additional in-game perks include a few account bound items such as the angelic wings, which are cool and will make you stand out, and black and white dye that you can use as many times as you please.
The inclusion of the game in a DVD is good, but hardly seems a fundamental need since everything is online nowadays. You still have to download gigabytes worth of data as an update to be able to play the game.
Overall, I am very happy with the Diablo III Collector's Edition purchase. Blizzard never disappoints with the packaging, content or additional perks.
There are a lot of good reviews for the game itself, so I won't spend too much time on it except to say that I am very pleased with the graphics, sound, and game content. I am a solo players and have many hours of gameplay ahead of me including leveling 5 character for all difficulty levels, and getting all the achievements. This game has a high entertainment and reply value for me.
The one thing that I am disappointed about is the requirement to be online to play the game. I understand that they need the server support for user authentication, prevent cheating, and the random regeneration of content. However, it is a pain when the connection is slow, or the servers are down or under maintenance.

Very nice and very playable as a time killer as Diablo II was!!! I did get get it for free as I play WoW!! Needless to say , I still give a very high rating as it is a a very good game that you would play over and over again!!

It comes with the Angelic Wings and 2 Dye's. The game overall is fun and the exclusive in-game items are worth to show off to. Plus you get Diablo II + expansion in a neat looking Diablo stone usb flash drive. Other goodies like art book, behind the scenes, etc. make it worth getting for any Diablo fans.

Probably the best CE that Blizzard has done to date (and I have all of them). The inclusion of Diablo II and it's expansion is a nice addition, similar to the inclusion of StarCraft + it's expansion in the StarCraft 2 CE.

The box art is amazing, they don't skimp on the contents, and the game itself is a whole review on it's own - suffice it to say that I will be playing it for some time.

It's a great game, especially the auction house, but the cooperative experience immerses you into the world of Diablo 3, an experience of endless hours of fun, in my opinion the best game of the year.
The rating of 5 stars I find little to this masterpiece.
