    I am really dam tempted to get a console, but dont know why… I have a PC

    • +12

      i wouldnt bother for this game. only reason id get a console is if i was desperate to play an exclusive but even those will hopefully get ported one day

      • -4

        Consoles are just better, its like cd's vs vinyl, yes cd's are technically way better quality than vinyl, but they just lack that soul that give you that warm fuzzy feeling while playing to them, that is the difference between pc and consoles

        • +17

          Out of all the analogies, this is certainly one.

          • +2

            @Jake T: I'd like to chime in here..

            As a fisherman at heart.

            Consoles are your relaxing inner coaster waters/ponds. Relaxing fun easy going but also exciting.

            PC'S are your deepwater marlin fishing requiring more effort to set run. And brain power. But always lands you the bigger fish ..

            Why not both !

        • +1

          I don't even think I need to explain how you saying consoles are just better goes to show how little knowledge you have on the subject. If you like your console more that's fine but in no way can it compare to a pc

          • -1

            @schwifty: yeah i don't think you got the analogy, in no way shape or form did i imply or do i think that graphically and performance wise that a console can compare to a pc, but pc has no soul, graphics are not what define quality, not for me anyway, pc's are cold, consoles are warm and loving, sitting on the couch chilling in the living room, or lazily laying in bed, not sitting at a desk, pc will always have better specs, but it is just missing that feeling

            • +1

              @Qazxswec: Oh I got it and I don't think you realise that a pc doesn't need to be at a desk I have one in the lounge room for gaming that I use daily. I also have a hand held portable one that I take with me. My pc definitely has a some I know this cause I put it in her when I built it myself something you don't get with a console so you wouldn't know if it has one or not you just went to kmart and bought it off a shelf

        • +1

          Consoles this gen are really great and the first time where graphics are on par with most pc games but the cd vs vinyl comparison is weird.

          • @Therage: Consoles are always on par as pc on the first two years. That's how they've always worked, they are extremely good hardware for their price. Ps2 and ps3 were especially well known as they were such complicated devices, they could be used as super computers.

            But you know, locked hardware means they fall behind pc for 5 years after that.

        • +3

          Bad analogy but there is some comfort in the simplicity of firing up a console on the couch

          • +1

            @sickaunt: PC is getting better at that. I have mine in my office and stream it to my loungeroom. That said it's sometimes not the smoothest experience e.g when windows UAC pops up and I have to go to the office to close it.

        • Steam Deck has that feeling.

          • @Yotta00: It's not really a PC though is it. Steam deck is now a console in itself.

    • +1

      Lol I feel the same but no good reason and the game will play at least as well on my PC anyway :)

    • +2

      Just play at mates place. I’ve had a few consoles over the years but I always come back to PC!

    • +1

      Everytime I think of getting an Xbox, I look over to my PS5 collecting dust 99% of the time whilst playing on PC.

      • Must have gotten every single Gen of Playstation just to see it gathering dust .. probably need another tv to make this work since it’s always on Netflix 😅

      • I'm the opposite, I caved in and built my itx PC as everyone kept telling me how good PC gaming is… Since I built it in Jan. I've turned it on twice or thrice. Ps5 gets used weekly or more

    • +4

      This bundle is around a game that will likely (based on previous versions) be more fun to play on PC. I love my switch and I periodically consider an Xbox or PlayStation for access to their platform flagship games and I’m quite keen on playing D4 - but the franchise has always excelled on PC.

    • Plug and play, games will just "work", maximised performance for your console, big tv and gaming on couch.

      Source - I own both.

  • +43

    No art on the unit that's a little sad.

    • +6

      Yup. Very poor from MS and Blizzard. I would pay extra for a Diablo themed console.

      • +2

        I agree, probably them trying to push out some old stock.

        • +3

          Even making the contrast red instead of green at the top vent would be good.

      • +8

        Yah.. But then you'd buy the console and game separate, for basically the same price.

        So if it's a bundle it should be themed.

        • -2

          Nah. Just shouldn’t be bundled in the first place.

      • +4

        Kinda sad that people can't express joy around you.

      • +3

        Using the word cringe like that is childish.

      • +1

        Some of those themed consoles become highly collectible in time. E.g. the original Halo Theme OG xbox.

    • +1

      Only reason why I am not getting it.

    • Exactly what I thought…

  • +9

    Isn't $849 a RRP for bundled xbox/PS5?

    • +12
      • +4

        I love when someone points out hypocrisy :D

      • +5

        BargainsGrabber didn't even upvote that deal.

        • -2

          But I didn't see him downvote either.

          • +3

            @Scrooge McDeal: So what's your point? I didn't either. Does that mean I believe the same? No.

            • -5

              @Clear: Just saying if he believes that RRP pre orders are worth negging then how come he didn't downvote that deal?
              Regardless it doesn't matter everyone it's entitle their opinion.

              • @Scrooge McDeal: Seems like you thought he posted that deal when he didn't.

                Idk why you lot keep having a dig at each other.

      • +1

        Well excuseeeeeeee me Princess.

        The Zelda TotK one at least had some effort put into the themed design.

        This Xbox is half arsed.

        They just slapped it with a game and then called it a bundle.
        At least they could have had a themed controller or something to make it stand out.

        • +2

          The Halo Series X console was cool.
          This one is just stupid. Buy the console at full price and buy a digital copy for $100.

  • +2

    Annoying how you can now only buy these bundled at $100 over the console RRP

    • +5

      What do you mean?

      You can buy the console only right now for $749. Maybe not everywhere, but with reasonable regularity.

      • +4

        I think what myfeetarehappy is referring to is that since the start of the year Microsoft have only been selling the Series X in a bundle for $849. The console only version for $749 is always out of stock.

        • +1

          Thought that might be the case, so I checked before commenting and found it in stock at EB nearby. Possibly old stock.

          • +1

            @Morien: Series x without bundle for $749 has been out of stock since December. That’s a choice my MS to only release bundled units.

        • Yep, so you are paying $100 for the game.

          • @Windows7forever: And if you don’t want the game you’re out of luck. You cant even sell the game code anymore as it’s tied to the console. I ended up buying a used series x last month rather than pay a premium for the Forza 5 bundle…it’s on gamepass for free and the world is boring.

  • +11

    They couldn’t paint the damn thing red?

  • Can you play early with this Diablo edition or no?

    • -3

      Finished mate

      • +3

        What ? I was talking about the 3-4 day headstart on launch you get if you buy the premium edition

        • +1

          Yeah, I would imagine this is just the standard version not the Digital Deluxe or Ultimate.

          Edit: Pretty unfair if you ask me. If you are competitive, that first 4 days will make a massive difference.

          • @ozbs25: Really. 4 days

            • @ChatCPT: Yeah. If it's anything lile D3 then you'll never be able to catch up.

              People at the top won't want to group with you. The only way to catch up is to do the higher levels. You'll get further and further behind.

              If you are in a good group/clan or whatever then maybe people can carry you and help you catch up. If you're not, then it's really really hard.

              • @ozbs25: Catch up to what though?

                • @j1nx: Some people are competitive and want to be on the leaderboards. I assume there will be seasonal leaderboards for D4. I haven't looked to be honest. Don't have time to play anything competitively any more.

                  • @ozbs25: Ah right yeah, leaderboards. Meh. I am playing early access but not fussed about that, just keen to have a good time.

                    • @j1nx: Some people that even don't necessarily want to be at the top might say, I want to finish top 1000 this season. People like to set goals otherwise in a game like Diablo, it just ends up being a little bit of a pointless grind.

                      It's the same with everything. It'd be like having a marathon and saying you want to finish in the top 1000 this year. If you pay an extra 40 dollars for your entry fee you get to start the race 20 mins earlier than others. It's just not fair.

                      • @ozbs25: Yeah it is a bit of a money grab that’s for sure. The way I reason about it is that I spend about $140 in one night on the piss if not more so spending it on a game I can enjoy for 100s of hours isn’t something I should lose too much sleep over.

                        • @j1nx: I'm all for companies trying to make money by adding cosmetics or like a special figurine or whatever that you may need to redeem. I'm sure most people are fine with it.

                          It's just the pay to win mechanics that are creeping into everything that everyone hate so much.

                          I did a bit more digging and it looks like the 1st season doesn't start for a few weeks after launch so the 4 days won't affect the leaderboards. I'm pretty sure the rest of the bonuses for the higher tiers are purely cosmetic. I guess Blizzard learnt something from the feedback from Immortal.

                    • @j1nx: Yeah I'm tempted to get early access copy just so I can binge on it over the weekend rather than waiting till Tuesday release (meaning not really sinking time into it till the following weekend).

  • D2 Resurrection is $23 right now at Battle.net

  • Massive opportunity lost to get a Diablo inspired paint job. Look at previous consoles like the Minecraft themed one… massive hit!

    • +2

      Is pretty lazy considering MS's acquisition of Activison… People would pay a little extra for a themed console as well.

      • -7

        Still pending on the acquisition.
        Hopefully it falls through

        But yeah, you don’t need to own the franchise to make a limited edition design. Very lame bundle

        • -1

          It will go through, done deal 🤑

          • -2

            @Spendmore: Not sure what's with all these negs. Do people really support corporations buying out all the competition?

            • +2

              @FireRunner: I didn't neg you.
              I hope it goes through i see it as healthy competition against Sony who have been doing the same for a while.
              Now Microsoft are playing the same game people complain as they know Microsoft ave deeper pockets and will eventually win.

              • -1

                @Spendmore: I don’t like it when any big company buys out a business, be it Microsoft, Sony, EA or Ubisoft.
                It’s not healthy for the consumers

                • @FireRunner: That boat has already sailed unfortunately.

                  • -1

                    @Spendmore: Yeah, sad so many studios got killed off by these greedy companies.
                    I still hope some authority blocks the deal but looks like even the the UK CMA has sided with Microsoft.

    • It was gawd ugly though lol

      • The kids grew up playing Minecraft on their first console… coloured in Minecraft. Holds a lot of sentimental value now.

  • +11

    Lame. No real advantage to buying this 'bundle'. No special colour theme. Nothing. Just buy the Xbox at a discount and preorder the game separately. Might end up saving money.

    • Absolutely. Considering that DIV is $79 preorder right now, this bundle is costing you more.

  • +5
  • So the Blizzard buyout happened?

    • +1

      It looks like it's going to go through. Sony is throwing everything they have but their crocodile tears are being ignored. Hopefully we get diablo on gamepass.

      • +4

        Yeah fk sony.

  • PC specials please

  • May as well release a 'special edition' for every game in the Xbox store if this is the level of effort they are going to put into it… basically just plaster an image of the particular game cover on the console box and stick in a download code and off we go . What a wasted opportunity.

  • how much is the console, how much is the game?

  • +1

    Seriously, calling it a bundle and just printing the theme on the box instead of the machine or controller itself is such a scam…

  • +2

    I know it's disappointing that there is no special themed console here but it's not like Sony is doing anything special with their PS5 Horizon Forbidden West or God of War bundles either.

    It seems only Nintendo is focusing on special themed consoles but then they don't come with any games.

    • +1

      Id rather Nintendo give a special themed console and not be forced to pay a premium on top for the games when i can get it used cheaper or on sale.

      Unlike MS And Sony forcing you to get the game at a higher price with the same original console.

      • +1

        I guess what I'm trying to say is that everyone here is giving MS a hard time but Sony does the same. And to be honest, these bundles are priced at full RRP for both the console and the game. If you can get a discount on the game, these bundles are not worth it.

  • so you're paying an extra 20 dollars for the pictures on the box.

  • -2

    Apparently the game at the moment is pretty bad. I'd be waiting a while before I'd look into buying it going to need a lot of patches.

    • You mean the beta version which is still months off release?
      Why do you think they run these betas, apart from server stressing?

      I played both betas and found it pretty good, no game breaking bugs. While I'm sure others found issues, they would have been documented and so would be fixed before release.

      • -1

        It isn't buggy. It is the gameplay. Barbarian combos are broken, Mage is too OP but the fun mechanics are also off. The skill tree building feels driven by the developers isn't of something fun and organic. It is the combat mechanics that make Diablo games, if they are broken no one is going to grind for 100s of hours in it for loot.

        I want the Diablo game to be the best ever, just seems that coming up to release, it isn't going to be ready, some of this stuff can't be fixed in 3 or so months.

  • Do you have to buy the PC version if you buy the xbox D4?
