Diablo 3 out now on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of hack-and-slash RPG Diablo 3 are out now. The game costs the typical $60 on either console, which roughly translates to Rs 4,050. If you can’t find the game in stores, you can grab it for the PlayStation 3 through its online store. The Xbox 360 version will be available on Xbox Live on October 4.

According to Blizzard, the console versions of the game have been custom-tailored for gamepad-driven action. It also features a new interface that will be easier to use with a controller as opposed to the mouse-and-keyboard-centric interface of the PC version. Along with the ability to play online, the console versions also have the capability for local co-operative play with up to three other players.

We know players will have a blast battling Diablo on their big-screen TVs.”
