$20/£15/€19

Pre-purchase TL2, get TL1 for free, giftable if it's a duplicate.

And you know what.. I am thinking to buy it right now, so I won't feel the urge to buy D3 now..

And I like the curved they throw at D3 :

Multiplayer - Play co-op with your friends via LAN or over the Internet for free. No subscriptions, no item sales. Our new matchmaking service lets you find friends, start new games, and join existing games. And, as always, you can play single-player offline as well.

Well, it's a way to distinguish them.

I just had a look at their site for other places to get it from, and (so far) all they've got is a big steam button.

Interesting, Steamworks? Wouldn't think so since they're owned by a publisher.

Oh man, I just bought that so hard.

A Valley Without Wind, Torchlight 2, and Borderlands 2. Those were the games I came into 2012 planning to buy. 66.6% of the way there!

Take my money!

Money in the money hole!

Now when does the X-Com money hole open?

Not sure how much to make of this, but while the main Steam store page lists the vague "Summer 2012" as the release window, when you go to check out, in wee little letters it says that it will be released "July 2012," which is slightly more specific.

I would make of it "Summer 2012", myself.

There are 4-packs!

59.99$

$15 each seems almost criminal for the amount of fun TL2 is poised to deliver (not to mention the potential added coolness from mods). I was more than happy to buy it for $20 earlier today, but for $15 (a quarter of the price of D3), it's an absolute no-brainer.

So you can get 4 copies of TL2 for the price of one copy of Diablo 3. Amazing.

Well, Max from Runic has said that they plan to release TL2 about a month after D3, so I expected late June or July anyway.

I would be in for a 4 pack if anyone is interested because I plan to be playing D3 for a long time but for 15 bucks can't go wrong with picking up Torchlight 2 as well.

Oops. Wish I had realized that. Oh well, I don't mind paying extra for this.

I'm in for a four pack as well.

LM, I'll take you up on that. PM me.

I'm buying three copies if anyone wants to be my fourth.

Robear is my wingman!

Why's the Chakawary XBLA-only? It's so much cooler than a friggin ferret.

Glad to see they're being smart with their marketing and stressing some of the key differences with D3. I'd be interested in a 4-pack if anyone is coordinating one.

I thought they originally said that was going to be in TL2?

Just bringing this up again for the upcoming four pack buys. If you have people Paypal you in advance you can buy on Steam using Paypal and just pay with that balance, adding your funds to cover the difference. That's my preferred method rather than getting reimbursed and dealing with transferring funds from Paypal to your bank.

I'm really surprised they haven't allowed trading/gifting of Steam wallet funds yet. It would solve the need to go through Paypal for this sort of thing.

Just noticed that Torchlight 2 is launching as Windows-only (Mac port is planned, but will be post-launch).

I hadn't been following development that closely, and am too poor to buy games right now, but figured I'd call that out, since I was surprised.

Wiki says it's XBLA-only. I found another source that says it's a timed exclusive but it's from early 2011 (which is kind of weird).

I think that their legal stance is that they don't want people selling extra copies from 4-packs. I'm sure they know that's exactly what's happening and I'm sure they aren't taking any steps to crack down on it but I really doubt they'll ever actively endorse it.

4-pack? I'm in.

Forgive a skimmer. Any chance the Xbox version has couch coop?

That's what I thought. Wasn't it too big to fit on XBLA?

Want to go in with a 4 pack with me?

As long as someone else can purchase the thing, yes.

I'm just hoping I can still use my controller on the PC. Torchlight was so much more fun with a controller.

PC Gamers win again!

Seriously though I'm pumped for this game.

Sure. You want to handle the purchase and cat-herding or do you want someone else to deal with it?
