looking to preorder D3
the cheapest I can find is http://www.amazon.co.uk/Diablo-III-PC-Mac-DVD/dp/B0030DH9R6/
but i'm not sure how much the shipping to aust is, or if they even do it. if anyone can find anything local or overseas please let me know. i dun mind shipping it in as long as the total price is low. amazon global has it for $60USD+shipping the cheapest i could find in aust was $87AUD+delivery
And if they pull the same tricks twice, the Australian version may have dual-region access like SC2 does. Lucky us ;)
oh, guess i better get it local then.. thanks!
isnt it coming out in 2013?
where did you hear that should be out late this year or early next year is my quess and it been in the making for sometime.
Just paid $43 for D3 pre-order incl delivery and $1 postage insurance. It seems like a bargain, but I've emailed cdwow the question regarding region lock.

Hi ******,
I am writing to you regarding your query for “Diablo III (PC)”.
I have now checked this with our suppliers and have been advised that this item is UK/European version. Therefore, you will not be able to play this game online on Australian server as it goes only to European server.
If there is anything else we can do for you please don't hesitate to get back to us.
Kind Regards,

CD WOW!
do know anywhere to get them cheapp?
If I remember correctly, spending over 20 at Amazon (or was it 25?) pounds nets you free shipping to Australia.
However you cannot ship software or electronics, games included.
Also, you must buy the Australian version if you want to play multiplayer because Blizzard is making their games region locked nowadays (e.g Starcraft 2)
If you're only interested in playing by yourself you can preorder it from UK sites like CDWOW, Zavvi, the HUT etc
