Pre-order Diablo III for $60 right now
Gamestop’s cranked up the retardotron for the day, having decided to offer pre-orders on Diablo III despite the fact the game has no hint of a release date and absolutely no pricing information whatsoever. Yours for $60.
“Official pricing and release dates have not been announced by Blizzard,” warned the US retailer.
“Price and release date listed are estimates only and subject to change. Worry Free Guarantee – if the price decreases between the time you place your preorder and the release date, you’ll receive the lower of the two.”
Brilliant. Buy three. Thanks, Evil Avatar.

They are looking for quick cash, guess they are hurting for money, why not just do Modern Warfare 3 that will most likely come out before Diablo 3 does.

Gamestop debit your account before dispatching the item?
I have never heard of an online preorder that made you pay a single penny prior to dispatch.

@6 Oh you are right, I forgot about that. Just put my foot in my mouth. Then this is just pointless to even put preorders for a game that has no date especially with Blizzard.

That’s a nice fat load of cash they can have hanging around earning intrest on a savings account for a year or more.
But why would a customer go along with this? Why not just wait till a couple months before release to pre-order?
