Diablo III and Reaper of Souls is now 50% cheaper for a limited time!

a lot cheaper than this

Hey you! Do you like killing stuff? Do you like it when said killed stuff drops loot? If you said yes to one or all of these, I’d imagine you are a big fan of Diablo III and its expansion, Reaper of Souls. If you’ve yet to try the action clickathon because you’ve been saving up those pennies, then today is your lucky day. Blizzard have both the core and expansion at 50% cheaper – so basically the increase for PS Plus, but in reverse!

The announcement was made over at the Diablo twitter page (via GameZone):

Sorry console fans, it’s only for PC it seems. Heading to the Battle.net store reveals that the new prices for both are €19.99. Based on the current exchange rate of R14.27 a Euro  (at time of writing), that works out to R285.25 a pop, or R570.50 in total. Decent price, but still expensive due to the exchange rate, right?

I had a look at some other options for comparison:

BT Games (PC)

Diablo III: R365
Reaper of Souls: R249
Total: R614

AWX (PC)

Diablo III: R390
Reaper of Souls: R440
Total: R830

Kalahari (PC)

Diablo III: R451
Reaper of Souls: R399
Total: R850

Takealot

Diablo III: R360
Reaper of Souls: R369
Total: R729

The cheapest for both is clearly BT Games, yet they are still a teeny tiny bit more expensive compared to the price on the Blizzard store. The choice really boils down to you – cheaper for a digital version, or a bit more to have physical copies of the titles.

As much of a PC fanboy I am, I do consider new gen console gamers lucky in this regard. They just need to buy the Ultimate Evil Edition which has everything in one neat package. If that gets discounted in future, it will be a definite bargain.

If you’re looking to buy the game for PC, I would highly recommend getting the expansion as it improves the game experience infinitely. Be sure to act soon though. There is no indication as to how long the special lasts!

I reviewed Reaper of Souls a few months ago, and I loved it. Alternately, if you are a new console owner, you can read Darryn’s review of the Ultimate Evil Edition – he loved it too.

          He said a bit, thus only 50% more.

            I think you’ll find that 50% is defined as “slightly more”. Describing it as “a bit more” should be in the 40-45% range.

            That’s just one of those things I’ll prefer to discover for myself. Someone give me lots of money… for research.

      Plus Path of Exile is absolutely brilliant (apart from requiring an always online connection, but then again so does DIII so the winner is obvious).

      Ah man that’s awesome! I miss games that immerse you so much! Then you get idiots that sprint through it in 10 hours and you really don’t understand how or why.

        Dude, for serious, It’s So much like CRPG’s of old.

        If Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity can match it in quality, I’ll be happy for a long time!

        In fact, I think i should just review it and send it to @lazygamers:disqus, it’s not like any of these “lazy” gamers are going to get to it…. 😛

      I spent the first 10hours of the game stealing everything and robbing everyone in the whole town, then selling the items back to them for better gear :3

    I love this game, who would’ve thought that raiding caves could be so addictive.

    With the new patch this game is awesome again! I must admit I still miss the D2 skill tree, but D3 is an epic game and very polished.

    I have tried the other copies of Diablo, but nothing has ever come close to the real thing for me.

    I’ve never been accused of being a maths genius, but I’m pretty sure that R249 (BT’s price for RoS) is cheaper than R285 (Blizzard’s price for RoS).

        Ja, ordered it from BT yesterday. Despite me really not wanting to give them much business, cheap is cheap.
