Coolest Diablo III merchandise

11 May 2012
Diablo 3

Do you need more Diablo III in your life? Dumb question, of course you do.

Just a few days separate us from the battling the forces of evil in Sanctuary, but in the meantime have a look at some merchandise to tide you over.

Book of Cain

For those who prefer to stay a while and read rather than listen, the Book of Cain is a must have.

The hardcover book details Deckard Cain’s research into the history of Sanctuary, Heaven and Hell, and the noteworthy characters that inhabit the various plains.

The hardcover book features a detailed front cover, frayed page edges and a map of sanctuary at the back to put things in perspective. There is also artwork aplenty just in case you prefer looking at pretty pictures rather than actually reading.

Mistress of pain socks

Are you a fan of knee high socks? Me neither. But for those who are, perhaps you should get some Mistress of pain socks to keep you warm through those long gaming sessions?

Cydaea would be proud of your fashion sense, and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to look exactly like her? (Pictured below)

Tyrael hoodie

If the Archangel of Justice is your favourite Diablo character, we’ve got just the thing for you.

See your friends in awe as you put on the hoodie transforming yourself into a nearly life-like replica of the Angiris council member. Well not really, it’s just a brown hoodie with some white bits and printed on wings, but that doesn’t matter, I still want one.

Sword of Justice comic book collection

Set around 20 years after the events of Diablo II, just before the Diablo III story line picks up, Sword of justice is a five-issue limited edition comic book set that details the story of Jacob, a young warrior who finds Tyrael’s sword.

It’s a new spin on the classic of boy meets sword and undertakes an epic journey, accompanied by a female Wizard who doesn’t seem to wear enough clothing. A sure hit!

Steelseries PC peripherals

Quick to pounce on the Diablo III brand in order to sell more peripherals provide fans with branded gear, Steelseries have released a range of Diablo 3 peripherals that are actually quite cool.

First there is the headset, which looks very Diablo III and sports similar features to Steelseries’ Siberia V2 offering.

Next up is the Steelseries Diablo III mouse, offering custom lighting and a Lord of Destruction-inspired graphic on the mouse body. Even the braided cable has a red strand that runs through it, which is pretty neat.

Finally, the Diablo III mouse pads. There are a range of Steelseries QcK medium sized mouse pads with Diablo III art on it to complement the Diablo III mouse.

Diablo III game

While the goodies above are nice, it can’t really compare to the awesome-in-a-box that is Diablo III.

Those who were quick on their feet were rewarded with the collector’s edition pictured below. Featuring a Diablo skull, Soulstone USB flash drive (only a 4GB, cheap bastards), a behind the scenes disc set, Diablo 3 art book and soundtrack – it’s enough to make any nerd drool uncontrollably.

For those who missed out on the collector’s edition, you’ll have to settle for the slightly less awesome (but still pretty awesome) regular edition. Or you could hang out on MyGaming over the next week as I think we may just have a few Diablo III Collector’s Editions to give away…
