Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Oh man I can't wait for this. I'm psyched!

So you can trade items? How does that work?
How is the game with replay value?
I think you should be renamed: Yoshihype.
yeah no shit. It would solve all my problems with the game.

Does that new roll have any invincibility frames or it just strictly for movement?
Diablo is pure replay value. Each subsequent level of higher difficulty dramatically changes how you must approach combat. Will never forget the first time I finished normal, fired up the first act on Nightmare and got killed by a group of what had previously been canon fodder zombies.
Well, they were still canon fodder, but I had many bad habits that Normal had forgiven. It was a "shit just got real" kind of moment, and it was repeated again with the jump to Hell difficulty and then the jump to Inferno. It felt like a new game each time.

I've been having an urge to play a grindy/loot game. Almost picked up FFXIV today for PS3, might just get this instead. I also like the fact that it doesn't have the auction house. Is there other forms of microtransactions in it?
Sounds fun, I'll probably end up playing this with my roommate on the couch.

I think I read somewhere here it drops on the 30th.
I'll probably end up getting this on PS3/360, not sure yet. I do like the PC version a lot but I also love these games with controllers so they'll go alongside each other nicely, plus maybe I can rope some console owning friends into getting it.
I am gutted Blizzard won't even consider patching controller support into the PC version though. I understand that the console version is different and that mouse/kb comes first in the PC version but it would just be nice to have the option.

The only question I have right now is whether or not there's any kind of upgrade potential going from PS3>PS4. Not even necessarily regarding the price of the game (although that would be nice), but whether or not I can import my PS3 character into the PS4 version of the game. The only official statement Blizzard's made on this subject at this time is to say that they have no official statement on this subject at this time.
The only possible reason I can think of NOT to mention it is that it doesn't exist.. that the two versions will be completely independent of each other, with no character import/export possible. Otherwise it would make perfect sense to announce that support now, which would make a bunch of people (like me) run out and buy the PS3 version now instead of holding off any purchase until next year. It would actually mean more money.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
online coop is present, but you're not restricted by it, you can play the entire game offline and offline coop as well.

My brain wanted to play this like the console Baldur's Gate games when I had a gamepad in my hands. I kept looking for the block button and everything. And then I felt ashamed for looking for the block button in a Diablo game.
I still can't help but think that this would have been a perfect fit for the WiiU. Posting up trades on the Miiverse, playing on the toilet, throwing the gamepad through a wall because it died while you were in the middle of a champ pack in Hardcore. Ah, what could have been.
Anyways, count me in for PS3 version. No AH, couch co-op, ninja looting, and the slight improvements to loot drops make me very excited for this.
I think the biggest thing I'm interested to see is how current popular builds translate to the console, if they even do.

I dont know if i wanna go thru 3 playthroughs just to get to inferno again.
I starting up again after the increase repair cost patch and its pretty boring workin my way thru nightmare on my WD with mp10 nothing good ever drops. Even grouped its boring. Seriously i think i got 2 upgrades from act1 to act3 on nightmare. Good rares dropped but not for WD.
Any info on Voice being in game?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
That's the first thing I'll be trying out. In one of the console videos, he evades through a magma pool and doesn't take a single damage. Unless that was lag or anything alike, that pretty much means that it's got i-frames.

Itll depend on the roll move, would be cool if it ignores collision. I think id be crazy if it has invincibility and clip through mobs.
Updating the OP.

Can anyone answer the following questions.
I know there is no cross play between consoles and PC but is there something between consoles?
When I play the game in co-op at a friend can I continue with the same character on my own console by logging in to battle.net or something?
It would be a sure buy for me if me and my friends can switch between online co-op and offline co-op with the same characters

No Cross-Play between any version.
Depending on your system of choice, you can just bring your savegame with you (or pull it from the cloud) and use that one for offline/online co-op at your friends house/at home.

I know! Here's hoping!

Both 360 and PS3-preorders will be getting the helm. But PS3 preorders get five additional stuff!

Hmm. Maybe it was bad wording from my side, but it couldn't be any easier on current-gen consoles than this.
You login with your account on your friends console, pull the save/character from your cloud storage (if you are a XBLGold or PSN+ member) or you simply bring it with you on a USB-Stick.

Are you serious? Pulling save game from cloud or using USB stick is a lot of trouble? What do you want the game to do, run to your house and fetch your save for you?
On another note, pre-order from Amazon and get bonus digital poster .... seriously Amazon, you can do better than this. The 360 version looks really good and I would love to play co-op with gamepad with my kids.
Now hopefully we will get Torchlight 2 for Xbox One and PS4 soon. I think this type of games actually play really well with controller (as much as I love the clicking sound of my mouse). I love Torchlight on 360 even with the framerate issue. (Diablo 3 360 seems to be super-smooth from all the preview video on You Tubes).

If I buy the digital version on PSN, do I still get the pre-order bonuses?
Loot drops are rebalanced to account for the lack of an auction house. Hopefully that won't be an issue.
