Irvine, CA Launch Event

Californians and other more ambitious adventurers, join us at 8 p.m. PDT Monday, May 14 at the Giant Wheel Court at the Irvine Spectrum Mall. Blizzard Entertainment and GameStop will be hosting an event-filled evening celebration leading up to the Diablo III midnight sale, including an exciting selection of Diablo-related videos, cosplayers, exclusive reveals, and multiple Diablo-themed giveaways, including four Limited Edition Diablo III laser etched systems powered by Intel and ASUS. In addition, members of the Diablo III development team will be on site to meet with you and sign your copies of the game. For more information on where to go and what to do when you get there, see the event flyer.

For those that can't attend, Intel and ASUS are giving away another four Limited Edition laser-etched Diablo III systems online. To see the machines, and a chance to win one from four custom PC manufactuers, click here.
