I dont know about that, hardcore to level 30 could be an annoying achievement - on pc it was a pain due to latency issues at launch.

Completing inferno was also quite difficult (this also means you have to complete the game 3 times...) It comes down to how it's balanced for console especially since we wont have an auction house (or will we? haven't really been following news). Conversation challenge is also quite tedious. Also some of the challenges for the main bosses were quite tricky if i remember correctly.

So my opinion, based on my experience with the pc version is that this will be a pain to 1000.

Having said that, I probably wont want to get this on console, my experience of it on PC was that eventually it became such a grind it sucked all the fun out of the game.

the best money/exp tactic is to get to the higher difficulties. Basically don't waste too much time messing around with builds/equipment in the lower difficulties.

Once you're in inferno money drops get big and you'll hit the achievement in no time.

Had a random crash on arreat crater yesterday

And yes i agree, the drop rate of random oranges is very satisfying.

You got me there
