    So I can't find Diablo III anywhere, every shop I check it's out of stock, Amazon keep going in stock then out of stock and when I asked GAME they said it will be 8 weeks.
    Is anybody else having this trouble?

    It's like an extra £10 from the Blizz site, which is pretty pathetic for a digital copy.

    I had to do this and yah you overpay and as a digital copy they don't even send you some artwork or anything. It was like the opposite of a Steam purchase.

    Damn that sucks. Not surprising though, Activison doesn't give two shits about consumer loyalty.

    Considering how the euro is right now, buying from blizzard isn't that expensive, but since you are in the UK, its probably not cheap.

    I noticed the amazon situation but managed to get it when it was on one of its in stock days. Tesco have had it in stock recently online i think. It doesn't appear to be now though.

    I assume your Tesco is the same situation as mine, I can buy the sims or world of warcraft and when im feeling adventurous i can buy a driving test assistant as well, recently i was lucky to get skyrim for £20 because they have stopped stocking it.

    on topic though, i have been in my local Game recently and they only got 2 copies in stock, so they sold out fast and i tried the other stores in my local shopping centre only to realise they no longer sell PC games. I got mine digital from blizzard.

    Now that you mention it, I didn't notice any copies of Diablo 3 in GameStation or Tesco yesterday. Not that I was there for Diablo 3; I was after Dragon's Dogma, which I had to ask for by name because they didn't have any copies of that out either. It was embarassing because the name of that game is so fucking dumb :(

    Saw plenty of copies in a lot of places earlier this week, but to be far that's a while ago now.

    @Hizang: https://www.coolshop.co.uk/catalog/product/72911-diablo_iii_3_for_pc_mac_code_via_email_pc Problem solved. CD Key to activate on the Blizz site for £32.95. I used this site all the time about a year ago and still visit it occasionally. I just ordered my own key today, unfortunately they only send out keys during office hours so you'll have to wait until Monday (me too) but it's probably the cheapest price out there right now.

    It is actually a site from my country, really great service, but the weekend is prolonged here due to some holiday on Monday, so don't expect to get your code before Tuesday, I ordered from there today and just realized that..

    Let me know how the service is from that site because that's pretty cheap! I'd like to give it a go and if they get good feedback then why not. Although I won't be buying till like July.

    Oh snap, totally forgot about the bank holiday. Oh well, I have exams in over a week anyway so putting it off for another day isn't really going to affect me too much as I don't see myself playing it at all for a while longer....@Chavtheworld said:

    I've shopped there before and can recommend them! Never bought a CD key though, usually just boxed console and PC games. If you'd rather wait though, I'll update the thread with details on Tuesday when I (hopefully) get a key.

    Key arrived today despite it being a Sunday! Worked fine, would recommend for when you can finally get the game.

    I thought it was just me having no luck. None of the super markets or game selling stores (such as Game, HMV, Gamestation etc) have it in stock near me. Is this a problem on Blizzard end with them not producing enough stock or is there a shipment issue with stock coming to the UK?

    The demand for this game is just bananas. Sold out everywhere especially in online uk stores. When Amazon had the game back in stock, incresead the price from 40€ to almost 60€. And there are sites that are selling at 75-80€. Crazy I tell you.

    I ordered from them at about 5pm GMT yesterday. No sign of the code yet, I'll update this when I see it appear - which will hopefully be some point today.

    Damnit, even coolshop has sold out now... are the only options left wait or buy directly from Blizzard? I'm kind of hesitant to pay over the odds for a digital copy.

    Amazon has just shipped my copy from for £34, even though its been out of stock since launch.
