    Cheapskates in every thread these days.  The pricing of video games has not fluctuated drastically over the last 30 years.  No one should be surprised as the price for an expansion is right in the normal meter.  It's all you cheapskates that are multiplying and crying about pricing on anything and everything. That's my professional opinion.

    I actually agree with this. Complaining about price of commodities? Get a job. Have a job? Work towards a better one.

    Lord no.

    Even If I wanted to, I couldn't without re-buying D3, as I sold my copy for 45$ the Monday after D3 was released.

    It was a crappy impulse buy on my part, but at least I was able to re-coup most of the money I threw away.

    The above is my personal opinion. Anyone displaying a view contrary to my opinion is obviously WRONG and should STHU. (neener neener)

    Yes I will.

    I actually enjoyed D3. Never played completely through Diablo or Diablo 2 and though I enjoyed their atmosphere better (and art design) I seem to have been able to make it through D3.

    I'd like to play through on the new class and experience some of the new/additional changes. Since I don't think the cost is a big deal it's not an issue.

    Nope.  The Xpac is 1 extra act; ie 1/3 of what the original game offered.  Therefore I'm not gonna pay 2/3 the price of the full game for it. 

    You shouldn't mistake a lack of willingness to pay X amount of dollars for a product with not having the money; it hardly seems a professional opinion to make such a wild assumption.  I have the money, and one of the reasons I do is because I make smart buying decisions.  Not buying this Xpac is one of them.

    Stop using fractions and arithmetic for game content vs. pricing makes you look silly and foolish.

    I'm passing until the price comes down, just too many good games that I can play for free atm. I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point but I'm in no huge hurry.

    Nice, real original pal. You might as well be a 12 year old. That would explain why you are complaining about pricing, but hey you live at home so you should have more disposable income.  Live a little spend and extra 15 dollars, might make you feel normal.

    I cant quite agree with this statement.

     

    PC games used to cost an average of about $40 and use to come in a fancy box with manuals the size of small novels and it was not uncommon to get a cloth map or some other paraphernalia.

     

    Within the last couple years PC games have basically gone from an average of $49 to a new average of $59

     

    Most PC games today are sold via digital download and have zero physical  materials which provide the publisher's with a major increase to they're bottom line.

     

    Many games are an excellent entertainment value for the prices they are sold for today, but to suggest that prices haven't changed in 30 years is by no means accurate.

    I remember Diablo came with an extra multiplayer disk for your buddy. We were like holy shit Blizzard is awesome. Man we miss them.

    I'm very tempted to get this. I suppose You need to buy the original game first?

    They are not assumptions, they are well informed and  logical conclusions from judging ones character from said responses.

    Yes but you can the combo for $60 from Blizzard themselves. Buy the Vanilla Diablo 3 and during checkout, you will get an option to buy the Combo pack for $60.

    Yep!  Definitely need D3 to play. 

    If you wait a bit, they'll probably have a bundle option at some point.

    Edit:  Somebody beat me to it.  $60 for both sounds like a good deal to me.

    But its mostly for new lvl 70 gear.

     

    and also adventure mode + loot runs ... essentially true infinite dungeons. That is a feature probably worth $40 on its own.

    Last week I would have overwhelmingly said not a chance would I buy RoS. My reason was loot. I played the first 3 months of DiabloIII and sporadically since. I only found 3 legendaries (not including the guaranteed 1st time boss kill drops).

    I played this weekend three or four times for a total of about 5 or 6 hours and got 10 Legendary drops. I've upgraded three or four pieces and my damage has gone from 65k to 102k.

    I'll play this weekend and see if the game is still fun aside from just the drops. I have to keep in mind eventually the drops won't be upgrades and then what...

    Yep!  Loot is way better now, and there seems to be alot less junk.  Thanks to the new difficulty options, gold seems to come alot quicker, even though I salvage almost everything these days.

    I got upgrades all the time pre-patch. But then, I didn't use the AH and buy the best gear. I found my own only. So my gear was less than ideal (crap), but the whole point of the game is the item hunt, which the AH ruined IMO. Now it's way better.
