Collector's Edition PollFollow

Who's buying the Collector's Edition and why or why not?

I'm getting it for the map and art book. I think the pets are a joke. They don't fight for you so I see them as no different than the other non-combat pets already in the game. The least they could do is provide extra storage for you. And yes, I have no problem with people who buy the the CE having an advantage in the game. They did spend more money.

But the other extras are enough to make up for the disappointing pets. I just wish they had included a DVD with all of their cut scenes on it. Blizzard's cut scene animations are second to none.

I got my preordered :) I want the art book but the pet is a nice bonus hehe. (panda!)

I've got it. Mainly, because Blizzard is such a great company. I would rather spend the extra $30 dollars to support them. Although, I must say the extra's would be nice as well.

Well in the spirit of democracy, I'll guess I'll cast my "Nay" vote. ^^

I just can't see spending the extra 30 bucks, I'm a college student, and money is tight enough as it is. The things in the CE are nice little additions if you have the cash, but I really don't think they are going to make or break the game or anything.

I support Bliz, and they've done a helluva job with this project from what I've seen so far, but seeing as how this is probably going to be the largest MMO release in history, I don't imagine they'll have to worry about putting food on their plates any time soon =P.

I also opted for the regular version. I just don't see the need for an exclusive in-game pet. I'll be farming to afford my cockroach though XD

Just curious about those who say that the pet was a deciding factor in getting the CE. I don't understand this at all because, as I understand it, the CE pets don't actually do anything for you. Am I missing something here or what? And I don't believe you can even say that they will be rare because of the amount of people that will be buying this game I think there will be plenty of CE pets running around. What is the draw of these pets?

im getting CE, im gonna preorder it tommorow, then im gonna get all the pets :), since im gonna haVe 3 characters,i want everthing in it, and if you were to buy everything seperate you would be spending alot more then 80.00 bucks :)..CLOTH MAP ^^

Already paid in full for CE. Couldn't care much about the pet, but I think it will be fun to have a mini-Diablo following me around. Mostly its the book, Music CD, but it was the cloth map that sold me.

I've been in love with the cloth map in RPGs ever since I got my first one with Ultima 3 for my C-64. Its rare to find in a game these days (kudos to Bioware for NWN) and always takes me back to the old school computer RPGs.

I don't see a whole lot of reason to get the collector's edition. It's not worth an extra two months of play-time money. =p

I preordered 2 one for me one for my roommate. I am getting ALL the pets since you can have one for each char in the account.

I also like the 10 day pass idea as I know just the friend to get addicted mwahahaha

Getting it because they did an AMAZING job, I want the art book, and I want a baby diablo 8)

Well, there is certainly a ton of content in the special edition, which I have preordered. The material stuff is mainly what interests me, the map, art book, cd, and the behind the scenes dvd. Does anyone remember how good the War 3 special edition was, I am hoping they will include dvd movies on the behind the scenes just like that puppy had.

The in game pets were just a ratification of my decision, I mean, a zergling, the brood at my disposal to wipe out the mighty horde, what more can I ask for? Well the beta has been great so far, and with free multiple chars, unlike ffxi , replay seems high to me in this game, I am not certain I can play this game as long as ffxi, but I am definately certain that I will have more fun, and after way to many days and days of ffxi, and too much waiting around in EVE, which was a beautiful game with a great concept,... uh the point was , I have learned fun is much more important in games than time spent, and I am not an uber elitest, thank god.

Mine is preordered. I want the art book, soundtrack, and all the nummy goodness of the CE. I love Blizzard.
