Since my last post in April about Diablo 3 buzz, I've avoided talk of the title on the front page, although our beloved cbloggers have filled their void nicely with their own speculations on the possibility of the much-wanted sequel. However, when changes on Battle.net take place, they warrant discussion, especially since they're official. The appearance of Diablo 3 forums sent many fans into a fainting spell (hopefully they had a friend around with smelling salts handy.) Not only did a forum for Diablo 3 pop up, but also a forum for Diablo 4 and 5 (Thanks Mike!), which surely resulted in more nipple stiffening and general hysteria. I haven't heard anything about these titles becoming a possibility, but the whole thing makes me realize I'm merely one of thousands of pet cats that Blizzard is dangling a delicious mouse in front of right now. Are you convinced? Or do you think the Worldwide Invitational event will only result in more teasing for all of us still suffering from acute Diablo 2 addiction? [Via Gamerchip -- Thanks, Gantz]
Diablo III will have exclusive content when it comes to PS3 and PS4. Stuff from Uncharted and Journey, with more PlayStation items planned in the future.

Hey hey! It's Friday. Woo.
So, today's Destructoid Show, in a nutshell: The Last Of Us is a good game, Kiefer Sutherland has replaced (?) David Hayter as Snake in Metal Gear Solid V, Respawn Entertainment's top secret next game is Titanfall, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z looks ridiculous, Diablo III on consoles has a launch date, and the Microsoft answers a few more questions about the Xbox One. It appears as if the Xbox 360 will be joining the Diablo III loot-fest console party, as the game is now set for a September 3rd release date for both the 360 and PS3, priced at $59.99. Local and online play are re-confirmed ... At the start of this year, Diablo III director Jay Wilson announced his plan to move on from "one of the most challenging and rewarding periods of my life" to work on another project within Blizzard. A replacement for the pos...

Rounding out coverage of the gold-duplicating bug found in Diablo III last week, Blizzard has taken the game's auction houses back online following a fix for the exploit.

Following the release of patch 1.0.8 for Diablo III, a bug that allowed players to duplicate gold through the auction house was discovered. And, naturally, some folks ran with the exploit.
