thanks for the replies to my questions as i think i may have came into this thread a little late, where my questions could have been raised by many before. thanks for the patience. i play the earlier 2 versions of diablo but not ori version, so am thinking of finally buying an ori version because this game is simply awesome and deserves my support. so i am trying to get the full picture of as what are the advantages and disadvantages of getting the ori copy. thanks again...
i heard we can sell the items we get in the game in the forum/server for real money. is this true?
That is true. Done via RMAH and cash out to Paypal will incur 15% charge:

How do players get “cash” from real-money auction house sales, instead of having the proceeds go into their Battle.net Balance?
In certain regions, players will have the option of attaching an account with an approved third-party payment service such as PayPal to their Battle.net account. Once this has been completed, proceeds from the sale of items in the real-money auction house can be deposited into their third-party payment service account. “Cashing out” would then be handled through the third-party payment service. Note that sending proceeds to PayPal will be subject to an additional 15% transfer fee if the auction succeeds, calculated based on the amount being transferred. Note that additional fees from PayPal may apply. Also, any proceeds from the sale of items in the real-money auction house that have been sent to your Battle.net Balance will not be transferrable to the third-party payment service account. Not all regions will support this advanced feature at launch. For more information on cash-out availability and methods, see the Functionality section of this FAQ.
SAUCEThere is some debate on the above going on in the D3 official forums.
ANyone able to update, I did not follow that thread.
EDIT:
If you're considering to get
"pirated" *ahem* version, don't bother.
It'll be worse than crappy WoW emulator servers (especially at launch)

That assuming there is an emulated server at all!
