Gamers are still wondering when in the wild, wild world of sports will Diablo III will be released. Developer Blizzard claims they are in the home stretch of finishing the action-RPG sequel that was first announced over three years ago. However there is a hopeful sign that the game is getting closer to becoming a reality. During BlizzCon this weekend Blizzard announced plans to release a Collector’s Edition of the game.
This version of the PC/Mac game will have lots more than the game itself. It will also have a lot of extras. One is a 4 GB Flash drive that will contain a free version of the last game in the series, Diablo II, along with its expansion pack. The Flash drive comes in the shape of a soulstone that can be put into an included base that looks like the Diablo skull. It’s perfect for gamers who need something to show others how geeky …. er, dedicated they are to Blizzard’s creations.
Other extras in the Collector’s Edition include a two disk Blu-Ray/DVD set that goes behind the scenes of the game’s creation (after all this development time it should be pretty extensive) along with a 200 page art book, the game’s soundtrack on CD and some exclusive in-game content.

In addition to the new console, and updated hardware… check out the controller with the 6.2 integrated screen! So, when your family wants to play, and you want to watch Dancing with the Stars, they can play… and you can watch, with ONE TV! (Like anyone else but me only has one TV in the house)
The Wii U will be compatible with all current-gen accessories and software… so what you have now will work with the new unit… cool!
And, finally, the Wii is going HD! The fact sheet from Nintendo states that the Wii U can pump out 1080p video over HDMI. It’ll also be compatible with component, S-video and composite cables. There’ll be “internal flash memory” of unspecified quantity, which will be expandable via either an SD card or external USB HDD. IBM is, as with the original Wii, once again responsible for providing the processor inside. Four USB 2.0 slots are made available, while game media will be served up on “proprietary high-density optical discs.” There’s also another, worthwhile, reminder that the Wii U will play Wii games and their optical discs without a problem.
