[UPDATE: Collectors Edition has been discontinued]
Checked Diablo 3 price on Dick Smith and found this, very good price but online only, unable to pick up in store, FREE delivery, much better than JB and HN.

Dick Smith*
if it could be picked up in store, it would be perfect! i wont order from UK then. unfortunately, keep waiting.
Think you could walk into jb or eb and get them to price match with a pickup?
jb will likely follow suit with price
but yes, you should be able to pricematch anyway - although, ethically, i dont recommend it, if you dont have to. if EB wants to try and charge ridiculous prices for their games, then they dont deserve the money!
I'll walk down to jb in the morning. I don't mind eb because they never claim to be anything they aren't (ie ripoff merchants) but I have a house rule not to buy from ds again after the grief I had last time I went there.
Went into JB World Square (NSW) just now and they don't price match preorders :(
they might not pricematch the preorders, but on release day they should, provided the stores are still selling the games at that price
OP's CE link is incorrect… here's the correct links…
CE - http://dicksmith.com.au/product/YG1076/pc-diablo-iii-collect…
Thanks for the heads up, it seems there are 2 Diablo III SE product pages and one of them is still showing $69. I've already updated the links.
Damn, $59 for Diablo 3… that's ridiculously cheap.
Bah, with shipping it's 5 dollars short of the competition. $59 (incl. shipping) would have been a real bargain.
It is $59 delivered…
It was originally $59 + shipping but then was changed to free delivery
I have this magic number in my head. The first store (in Aus) to offer D3 for $50 or under will get my business.
You might need to stay a while and listen.
lol i see what you did there.
hello Cain
I'd say you're unable to pick it up instore because its not released yet :P
Farrr how many diablo CE are being released now to the public… Im starting to regret getting the CE now
At first I couldnt find CE to buy…..after I bought it, it's everywhere! This is madness…with voice from movie 300
Perhaps a clever marketing tatic
Bought this for $69 from JB Hi-Fi deal not too long ago.

Cancelling that order and buying this one!
How can u cancel JB order? I wana cancel and get the key only to play on launch!
In the email they sent you there's a link to email them to cancel it. Otherwise you can send a cancel request via their website here: http://www.jbhifi.com.au/contact-us/
I tried price matching DSE preorder since their website clearly says "PRICE GUARANTEE, if the price drops in-store or online before release date, you will pay the lowest price" this is what they said:
Hi,
Thanks for your email.
Unfortunately we will not be able to price match with Dick Smith. However, we will be dispatching these games via overnight delivery so you can enjoy playing the game on the release date.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Regards,
Karin
To cancel or not to cancel….
If I remember correctly regarding WoW: Catacylsm, I pre-ordered it from Dick Smith and received it on release date.
My online orders from Dick Smith have always arrived very quickly.
I pre-ordered from MightyApe.
Initially it was $78 (inc. shipping), sent them some messages every time i found an Australian edition cheaper and they happily dropped the price. At around $65 now, I could probably ask them and they'd discount another dollar off or so!
But yeah, great service :)
what is the point to "pre-order" ages before the game is released then?
laughing at some of the CE orderers who claimed that you would never find a brand new copy of the limited collector edition as soon as they sold out, and then the CE's value would double, triple, etc. etc. etc.
Collectors doesn't necessarily mean Limited. What it does mean is "money-grab". They will make as many as people are willing to pay for and no more.
It's surprising that people are willing to fork out $70 extra for what is essentially some extra packaging, a chinese made usb stick/toy, and some superficial digital downloads that have no effect on how you play. Especially for cheapskate (and I use that word as a compliment) ozbargainers who are normally more savvy than that. :)
Not that I am complaining mind you, it helps subsidise a little of the cost for anyone buying the SE. :)
How will their delivery system work? As I know EB where going to be sending out the hard copies a day or 2 before the 15th, will Dick do the same? Or will it be sent out on the 15th, and recieved on the 16th?
Apparently it's going to be $58 in store from Big W

Sweet. I'm going to pick it up on release day then.
Well, CE seems to be "discountinued online now"
Just got the last copy, woo! lol Thanks for sharing this deal. Been looking online for a week due to completely forgetting to preorder months ago and unwilling to pay $200 - $250 from scalpers on eBay (who have actually sold a fair few copies :O.) Put my order in, paid and 2 minutes later the offer was discontinued online.
What is the best way to play this as soon as it is out? If you preorder online, I'm guessing you don't receive a key via email or anything?
Cheers
Servers open at 5:00pm AEST so you could even buy the game instore on the 15/5 and play it as soon as it's out.
tried twice for the std version, the payment didn't go through, my paypal shows the status is cancelled, of course not by me…tried to call dick smith, the guy over the phone said it's 69 not 59…so i gave up…
just bought one a min ago, everything went through smoothly, used paypal aswell dunno whats happening with yours
ok my bad…my paypa account got something wrong…it's all good now.
cheers
Just recieved a call from dicksmith telling me that my CE order has been cancelled. They provide me a discount of 49 for standard version. Wtf so good luck everyone.
Ouch.
If canceling my ce order equals to $49 standard for me, it will be the third best buy ever from dse(first is the G27, then a tdk headphone. Don't ention that millian dollor sale, I did not get anything)
Just had my collectors edition cancelled as well. Not. Happy.
I've noticed it's free delivery now for the standard edition.
Anyone know how long it takes to cancel the JB pre-orders?
It took me ~2 hours for a reply.
It now comes with free delivery. Great pricing.
Just rang Big W Carindale and confirmed its $58 in store. Price war begins!
53 bucks delivered after staff card discount, best Diablo deal so far
Just rang local Big W and apparently the stock has already arrived, but will not be available until Monday or Tuesday. Ordered one from DSE and hopefully it will get delivered soon.
Says 59 in cart for me
There's an embargo on until tomorrow. BigW can't sell it earlier otherwise they get fined.
That's what the BigW rep told me.
Some people have picked it up from BigW already this morning =\
Is everyone's order still on "processing"?
I'm getting nervous =\
Same here, "In Progress". I sent them an email asking about shipping. no reply!
I should just buy it from BigW. it is right down my apartment. Now the chance we getting it tomorrow is small.
if i don't see it by lunch tmr i'm gonna pop by DSE near work and ask for pickup
not gonna wait for it!
if its still says "processing" by tomorrow, can we just call and ask for refund?
twig, plz let me know if they let u pick it up at store
u cant pick up with online order but u can get the instore staff to cancel the order for you and pick a copy up instore… that's what i did with sc2… np at all..
yeah, i was going to do what demere said but the DSE i went to is already out of stock by 930am!
FML, gotta wait it out
Called the customer service - waited for 15 mins before they pick up the call..
anyway..
The courier are going to the warehouse to pick up and send it out by today. So the earliest date is tomorrow.
They said i can return ask for money back in-store once I receive the order tomorrow.
Going to Big WA, pick up one and ask for refund tomorrow in DS.
thanks for going through the extra trouble to find that out for us terry!
i still have stuff to do tonight, guess it's a blessing in disguise…
I think DSE have received a ton of cancel order this morning and when I think to cancel the order, I received a mail from DSE of my order updated:
Your order has been packed and is awaiting collection. You will receive an email with shipping information this evening which will enable you to track your order.
LOL
mine just went from processing to dispatched!
i hope that express delivery is VERY express!
not happy my order for CE still showing as Your order is being held until product release date.
Anyone been told by dicksmith they won't be getting there ce editions????? And offering something else?????
and the competition begins, Lol
Good one dickie
