oh damn, then it means sea player cannot sell things to us player???

It has been an on-again, off-again relationship for Blizzard and consoles over the past couple decades.  With offerings on the N64 in StarCraft 64 and Warcraft II on the Saturn and PlayStation, Blizzard is once again working on a possible offering for the current generation with Diablo III.  As of right now, the highly anticipated game is definitely coming out for PC, but the developer maintains that they are hard at work on coming up with something specifically designed for consoles, not some shoddy port.

"There's a key difference," said Blizzard lead designer Jay Wilson to Game Informer. "Certainly, a lot of things get brought over, but a port is trying to take a PC game and graft it onto a console. Our goal is to make a game that feels like it's natively made for a console. If we make it, we want it to feel like a Blizzard game and that we built it for that platform from the ground up."

For Diablo III, there is some hope that the game will eventually see a console release.  With a team already on the job, and console veterans joining in, Blizzard believes they can make headway with getting the game to the millions of console players.

"We are still in active exploring mode; we haven't officially announced a product," Wilson said. "We say that because we like our product announcements to be a big deal. We haven't been as secretive about this one because our biggest barrier is actually getting a console team."

"People don't believe us when we say we're going to make a console game -- flat out. I understand why they don't believe us, because we've tried this before. We've also never invested in it to the degree that we are doing now, and we've never had a product we felt was appropriate for it."

Even if we do not see a console version of this game, Blizzard reaffirmed their previous stance that they would indeed develop a title for consoles.  While there are no real solid plans publicly out there, the notion is that Blizzard is working diligently to bring something new to gamers, either in the form of a current game or perhaps even something new.

"It's obviously because we've made only PC games for the last 15 years, but there's a perception, I think, that Blizzard is anti-console, and that's absolutely not the case," said World of Warcraft's J. Allen Brack in the article. "We just want to make the right game for the right platform. Think about StarCraft II. Some real-time strategy games have tried to happen on the console. Some of those have been successful, but overall, our experience is that it's going to be a better game on the PC, ergo it's developed on the PC."

"We will definitely work on a console game at some point. I have no doubt about that. It's just [a matter of] what game. What makes the most sense?"

Diablo III has yet to receive an official release date, but Blizzard maintains that the game will be out sometime early 2012.

january 7 or 24 2012 

    seriouslly

yes correct. I wanted to play the game and sell stuff i don't need to rich westerners who think our own pricing is peanuts and make a nice profit. But this isn't possible because of the auction house region restriction.

So the pricings and your client base is the player base in SEA which by the way has the FEWEST player base compared to say US/Europe...... this really sux for us SEA players

either go US server yourself, or DEALWITHIT.jpg

then is that we need to change our Battle.net info to US address in order to be able to trade in RMAH with the westerner or just buy the us set? I am really confused...

or is there any article or announcement that explain the AH region restriction?

1. No.
2. Just buy the US set.
3. You can refer to Starcraft 2 thread, should be something similar.

Also, I just received an email that I am invited to Diablo 3 beta testing from Blizzard.

Will check my Battlenet account tonight.

Dude you're one lucky man.
I'm stuck with Diablo fever and have nothing to cure until its release. 

1. No.
2. Just buy the US set.
