Blizzard Entertainment will partner with retailers worldwide for another one of their famous launch events on May 14th to celebrate Diabo III.  Retailers in U.S., UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and the region of Taiwan will all have massive launch events.  

Here in California Fry's Electronics lost out to the Irvine Spectrum, where Blizzard and Gamestop will be rolling out the bloody red carpet for gamers with festivities and giveaways starting at 8 PM.  Traditionally there were giveaways tied to contests for dancing, voice impressions, and cosplay.  I can tell you having attended Blizzard launch events for many of their products, these are definitely nights you shouldn't miss if you can help it.

"In addition to the official US launch event, other retail locations around the country will open at midnight to support gamers looking to pick up their copy of the game the moment it goes live," Blizzard said on Wednesday. "Please check with your local retailers for further details."

I know I'll be down there covering the event and hopefully seeing Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain perform.  Will you?
