Hi Guys, Just a quick comment to clear up the DIABLO CE delay issue that seems to be going around.

Last month we had orders come in that never made the amount of stock we had. So these people were notifed that their order for a collectors did not qualify. We then managed to secure and extra 200 copies of the collectors for these specific orders. We notified these people on monday of certain criteria we needed, to make sure they are serious about the copy. We have since been told that these extra 200 copies we have managed to secure did not make the first shipment for the game and are thus delayed. The deposit requested for these copies are included in the final price, and not extra.

All other Diablo Collectors editions are on time. so if you have an order and have paid your deposit and your latest confirmation says Diablo collectors and not Diablo midnight launch then your game will arrive on time.
That doesn't fly with me. This is the D3 CE, and the preorder interest alone shows that they'll be able to shift the copies afterwards, even if the preorder people don't decide to take up their preorder.

Also, what's with the massive deposit on an easily saleable item? The CPA makes allowance for a cancellation fee, but stipulates that it should be a 'reasonable fee' on the basis of the ability to sell the item/service. So, given the excessive cancellation fee, and the rather one-sided nature of the other terms, one would imagine this is in contravention of the CPA...

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't take this up with them. One thing is for sure though, I'll be voting with my wallet and NOT making use of their 'service'.
