The Evening Report: No Title Edition

Our night starts off with a crisp, clean deal in the air. Grab a PlayStation 3 for a cool 100 bucks less than normal. Right now, GameStop is serving up 160GB and 320 GB new PS3s with a $100 discount for PowerUp reward members. According to the ad, this deal is only good until May 29, so get on it. Is this in response to the recent Sony woes or just a previously planned price drop?

Have no fear, the Diablo 3 beta is near. During an investor call today, Activision announced that Blizzard would hopefully launch a Diablo 3 beta in Q3 of 2011. While the testing has just start, the company has mustered up enough confidence to state that a public beta would drop in the final quarter of 2011. Until then our amazon and warrior mock-ups must sit in silence.
