Diablo 3 Collector's Edition detailed
Blizzard unveiled the Diablo III Collector's Edition during BlizzCon, packed full of goodies including the soundtrack, an artbook, in-game bonuses for WoW, SC2 and D3, and a soulstone-shaped thumbdrive.
While Diablo III will be offered free to World of Warcraft Annual Pass subscribers, even they might still want to splash out for the very fancy Collector's Edition unveiled during BlizzCon.
Packed into a stylish box, you'll find a 208-page art book, 24-track soundtrack CD, documentary DVD, and, of course, a copy of the action-RPG, Blizzard has revealed.
You also get a snazzy 4GB USB thumbdrive shaped like a soulstone, complete with a Diablo skull base to plunge it into. It comes pre-loaded with Diablo II and its expansion Lord of Destruction, much as Blizzard included the original StarCraft with the StarCraft II CE.
The CE includes cosmetic in-game bonuses for Diablo III, World of Warcraft and SC2 too. In D3 you get "glowing angel wings," an exclusive banner, and armor dye. The WoW bonus is a Fetish Shaman pet, and you'll get bonus unit decals and Battle.net portraits for SC2.
Blizzard says it will announce the price of the Diablo III Collector's Edition price "in the months ahead." Amazon and GameStop both list it at $99.99 for now.
If you missed it over the weekend, have a gander at the 'Black Soulstone' cinematic Blizzard released during BlizzCon:

The wings look hot!
What CE items are you most excited for?-
the soundtrack is really all I'm interested in. I like the thumb drive but the folks around here would think I worship the devil or worse, listen to Danzig..

That's just a crop of the biggest version of that picture I could find at the time. Blizzard's hoarding not-worthless pictures, for whatever reason. But there are bigger pictures of everything in the box on the Diablo 3 site.

I'm the reverse. I'd rather have a tangible, cool art-book (assuming it's full-size and not some scam mini-deal) and some other goodies than some cranked out cosmetic item with no real benefit (or a weak one). Too me that's totally uninteresting. I'm going to pick one of these bad boys up and just sell off the digital crap (or give it away). Each to their own.
