I say buy. I was a day one buyer and have no regrets. I came to the forums to address a common complaint I've been seeing. People say the game is to short. Well, I'm 66 Hours 52 Minutes into my Lvl 50 Wizard and just started Hell difficulty so I still have 2 play throughs to go. Thats just with this guy. I would call that short by no means.

As a player of Diablo (1) and a day one buyer of Diablo II and LoD I have no regrets with D3. There will be some minor annoyances if your an old fart like me that likes his isometric sprites and oldschool games in general, but the game is just awesome fun.

The only thing I really can't forgive Blizzard for is the online only aspect. I suffer 220-350 ping all the time from the low to high end depending on the time of day. And should B-Net lag, you lag. There has been a roll back that affected me once and a few server crashes. But being a Blizzard title I have the utmost faith in this and any other problems being worked out. D2 got patches for 10 years

If you dont think an always online system devalues a game all that much; especially for a game that lacks persistent face-to-face lobbies and trading. Then, yes, It's definitely 'worth' a buy.

My wife loves it.

I tried a guest pass, and was underwhelmed.

The cost and always on DRM for SP is a factor for me. The server issues have been annoying.

But going to try again tonight, only because it would be nice to play with her.

This is probably some what true. Blizz game (although sometimes not the expansions) do not usually drop in price that much until a new entry into that franchise is announced.

Starcraft 2 is still the price of a brand new game and it was released 3 years ago. So yeah don't expect a price drop guys

Depends of whether or not you like the genre. If you only like FPS's, then this might not be for you. If you like in depth RPG's then this might not be for you either. This is a point and click loot-fest. And while it's insanely fun to me, it might not be to you.

I got bored of it, and I generally like ARPG's. I guess it's something you'll have to find out for yourself whether or not you'll like it.
