Just use whatever price comparison website you have in your specific country (Pricerunner for me for example) whenever you're about to buy a new game, pretty simple really.

I ordered the Collector's Edition for 799 kr, which is about €90. Cheapest I've seen for the regular edition over here is 'bout €48.

Hi guys,

I'm in Europe and the game will sell for 60 euros off battle.net which is really quite pricey when they Europe costs tons for me now. Meanwhile people in the US pay 60 dollars, which is way less. Anyone found any great deals, either online or locally for your country ? Would be nice if we could rack up a list of the best places to buy the product from.

I've heard people say they preordered it on Amazon and apparently they get it for 1/3 of the price it sells for at release day.

Having different prices in different countries seems kind of unfair. Do you have any contacts that you could ask to get it for you or something ? I don't know about the legality and besides you cant play on release day.

I have contacts in the UK and such. They could wire me the cd key once they get it I guess. Question is if there would be any delay in getting to play and if the delay would be worth the saved money.

Blizz store is 60€. No thanks.
Online stores are roughly at 50€. I expect them (along with big local stores) to lower the price in the first 1-2 weeks to 30-35ish € - just as it happened with SC2.
A good indication this will happen might be, that the game was sold for ~21 pounds at some point on amazon.co.uk with the price guarantee from amazon... too bad I couldn't pre-order it back then (as the world might know, in Germany basically no one uses/has a credit card which is required to order from the UK).

Really? Germans don't use credit cards?

We have EC-Cards. No idea how they are called in English. But you can pay with them in every store. You put your EC-Card in the stores cardreader, put in your PIN and the money gets transfered.
But the difference is, you don't get a bill at the end of the month, so you can't take on debt with it. You need to have money on your Bank-account to pay with the EC-Cards.
Thats why germans don't have like 20.000$ debt per person. We don't buy things on credit!

Some Germans have credit cards but as a general rule I would say most don't. In restaurants for example you almost always pay cash, the majority of places don't even have facilities for an EC card(eftpos/standard bank card). I'm not really sure why they don't use credit cards, maybe because you HAVE to pay them off every month so there's no real point..or it could just be because (gross generalisation coming) most Germans are kinda stingy??

Yep, in Poland the concept of credit cards is pretty much laughable, seing as virtually everyone have a debit card and make all transactions with it. Wheter it's paying for your bread of your 50 inch tv.

I am thinking about buying this straight from Battle.net which will cost me 90 Singapore dollar, thats around $60. But there are some website that offer to sell you the cd-key at lower cost.
So can you just input the cdkey in your battle.net account and activate the game?

in Ru we can get it for ~50 bucks (standart eu version with multilang) and for ~25-30 bucks (ru localization, 7 june)

Dont think like a dickhead or a kid from elementary school. Its easy logic behind it. If you open a restaurant and have some brain u will understand why if you are a clever person. When u pay cash u automatically generate a generous tip when people pay.

If you pay with EC-Cards or stuff like this most people pay the exact price, not more. Thats the restaurant part... the other side, i guess germans are a little smarter than americans and dont buy stuff they normally dont have money for. Thats the reason u guys had that financial crysis a while ago.

Amazon always the best - at least the UK one - and they do ship to Europe. £32

Edit: that is, presuming you don't want it at midnight, but then, my exams start at 15th so I won't be playing until 25th anyway D:

GUYS! Wait until couple of days before the release! The price will drop alot ~5days before the release, when the local sellers fight for the best price with amazon etc.
It was the same with sc2 release!

here in romania the prices for diablo 3 are super high T_T most of them are over 60 euros. wtf?
i hope the prices will drop a little after the release.
i would order it from another country but seems shipping is so expensive. on amazon uk i found that shipping to here is like 20 pounds. i was confused anyways cause they don't explain the shipping process and prices well.

According to a study published by the German federal bank in 2009, credit cards make up for 3.6% of the total amount of money transferred and 1.4% of all financial transactions. So, yes, this is ridiculously low, but I believe it might be a matter of generations. CCs are being handed out to students and young adults without non-transaction-related fees, and as has been pointed out by some, since they're often necessary for ordering stuff from outside Germany, they're becoming more and more common.

I have a $25 gift card at Target, but are they even selling the Collector's Edition? Doesn't look like it.

If anyone knows of a deal for Collector's I'd appreciate it. Newegg's sold out.

I've done a little bit of looking around, and I saw targt advertising that they're selling a collector's edition for $99. I didn't look much into it, just saw it while I was browsing.

If anyone finds a deal for the collector's edition, I'd like to know too please :D

Does someone know if I can buy a US version and play with on a European server. It happens that I will be in the US around release date, so theoretically I could just pick up a copy and bring it back. I don't want to play on the US servers though.

i got my starcraft 2 copy on ebay for 39€ from a suspiciously asian sounding lady

I'm still undecided as to whether to buy a digital copy so I can play at midnight and pay £45, or get a hard copy but wait for delivery (probably midday) for £33. What's everyone else's opinions/experiences?

This question might warrant it's own topic, but it's related enough to the OP that I'm not quite certain about that.

Now this might be a total confabulation on my part, but when SC2 came out didn't Blizzard have a system in place where if you pre-ordered a physical copy of the game you received a code or something on your receipt that you could use to pre-install the digital version of the game so that when you picked your boxed copy up you wouldn't have to wait through the installation? Or so you wouldn't have to wait for the game to ship and arrive? It might have only been if you pre-ordered the boxed copy from their storefront, but I think they did something like that.

My question is: are they doing something similar for Diablo 3? I'm about to pre-order it, but I can't decide between getting the boxed copy or digital. I'd like to have the third game in one of my all-time favorite series on my shelf, but I know I'd also like to remove the waiting for arrival/installation.

So Blizzard didn't go thru with your Credit Card yet. I have the same problem while I try to purchasing directly from them thats why I bought it from a 3rd party site.
You may want to sent an email to their support and see what they have to say.

The money has already been transfered, I didn't pay with a credit card but with some european equivalent, thru ''Ideal''. Which means the money is sent to them directly the moment I press ok. I am not the only one with this problem :/

Did you send your email to support @ Blizzard? Do it, or even phone them since its still office hour in EU I believe?
