You know, I loved WC, WC2, SC, and Diablo. I haven't ever played WC3, WoW, or D2. I don't see myself playing SC2 or D3 either.
I don't have a reason, I just haven't. Maybe my reason is that I don't do PC gaming anymore.
It would be nice if D3 makes it onto the consoles. Do USB mice work on either the 360 (I don't think so) or the PS3 (I think so)?

UT3 on the PS3 featured keyboard/mouse support.

I have no doubt SC2 was started before WoW, but to say expected life of WoW didn't factor into the timing and development schedule is bold. Just as bold as me sitting here saying there is a correlation, though

Trust me.

Gaming Steve has inside connections to the gaming industry I believe.. I am new to the website, via the game Spore.

If anything, my personal opinion is that WoW allows a lot more leeway because the steady income results in less pressure to push the next game out.
If you ask me, staying up late on Friday night will be worth it.

I'm hoping D3 will be on the xbox and not just the PC.

That's one thing that really bothers me about playing older PC games. A lot of Win95/98 games are locked at 640x480. The original Baldur's Gate and Fallout 1 and 2 are the same.
Playing old games on today's big high-res monitors brings out the ugly.

Grrr. I cant make out the details in the new splash screen.
And I cant get to the Blizzard site at the moment.
Can someone post the info update from Diablofans.com? Or a larger version of the new splash screen?

I am pretty sure they are just announcing a release date for WoW expansion, Wraith of the Lich King.

Look at that and the resemblance, compared to the splash screen.
