Chapter 864
Huang Yiming, who bought two pre-sale codes, finally waited for the grid mall to open. Then hundreds of young people rushed in and almost squeezed the door, causing the security guards in the mall to jump. Then all the young people rushed to the game store in the mall.
However, the game store was obviously ready for a long time. The box of "Diablo" was directly placed in a mountain shape, which made Huang Yiming saliva almost flow out.
In addition to the ordinary version of Diablo, the most important purpose is to focus on the highest point of the store, a huge iron box made of completely stainless steel with a large pineapple rune.
This iron box is five times the size of the ordinary Diablo body machine, and it contains the luxurious version of Diablo.
Throughout history, it is very normal for the game to release regular and luxurious versions. The luxury version will include some extra peripherals, strategies, or redemption codes in the game.
But Diablo set a precedent this time, that is, the precedent for the price of the luxury version.
Generally speaking, the price of the luxury version will be about three times that of the ordinary version. For example, if the ordinary version is sold for 100 yuan, the luxury version will be sold for 300 yuan.
However, the luxury version of Diablo is priced at as high as $999, which is equivalent to the price of an Apple computer, and it is 20 times the price of the regular version.
Moreover, the official has ambushed something in the luxury version and has been hiding it all the time. Even professional media people like Huang Yiming have not received any information.
This made Diablo pay more attention. Everyone was crazy speculating that what was installed in the luxury version could actually increase the price by twenty times, which was equivalent to the price of a computer.
Like the luxury version, the number of luxury versions is extremely rare. It is said that 10,000 boxes are available in limited quantities worldwide... Well, 10,000 boxes sounds like a lot.
However, if these 10,000 boxes are distributed to each store, it will be very rare. For example, Huang Yiming only saw three boxes of luxury versions of iron boxes in the store in front of him. He didn’t know if there was any in the warehouse. If not, then this is the luxury version that the entire store has.
Due to Huang Yiming's body shape, when he panted and arrived at the store, more than 200 people were already queuing up, which made Huang Yiming very worried that he would not be able to buy the luxury version.
Fortunately, the price of the luxury version is too high. The price of $999 is enough to persuade 99% of young people in the United States to withdraw, so Huang Yiming either took out the pre-sale code to buy the regular version, and then exchanged it for a limited edition, or just paid for it and then left.
However, when Huang Yiming was about to make a turn, a rich man suddenly appeared and bought two boxes of the luxurious version of "Dark Destruction God" as soon as he opened his mouth. When he left with a smile, Huang Yiming suddenly realized that this guy was the scalper at the door just now?
He actually came in and lined up, and even bought two boxes of luxury versions in one breath.
"Good guy, it seems that this guy is planning to make a luxury version!" Huang Yiming muttered, and understood the yellow bull's intention.
The scalper's behavior proved to be extremely correct, because after just one month, the price of the luxury version rose from $999 to $1,500, and a year later the price soared to $2,000.
By 2015, the 20th anniversary of "Diablo", on Tencent, a box of original unopened Diablo luxury versions had already been hyped to the point of 6 million yuan per set, and it was still priceless, because it was difficult to find the original unopened Diablo on the market.
Back to the point, when it was Huang Yiming's turn, he first took out his redemption code, which was a special number printed on it, and then there was an anti-counterfeiting label on it, a pre-sale card specially printed by Daqian Group, and added $29 to buy a box of ordinary versions of "Diablo". Then Huang Yiming got the out-of-print peripherals he had been thinking about.
A key pendant in the shape of a bow and arrow.
Although it is just a key pendant, it is extremely exquisitely made. Although the bow is only the length of a middle finger, you can clearly see 9 pythons hovering on it. The name of the bow is also printed on the packaging, called "Hydra's Silence."
Huang Yiming carefully put the peripherals of this limited edition into his pocket, then put the regular version into his backpack, and then, when the buyer behind him was a little impatient, he pointed to the last box of luxury version and said, "I want to buy another box of luxury version!"
"Okay!" The clerk smacked his tongue when he heard it. When he saw that the luxury version was priced at $999, the clerk thought that these three boxes of luxury versions might not be sold for a week or two. Unexpectedly, all three boxes of luxury versions were sold in just over an hour. It seems that this game is really going to be sold.
"I'm here!" Huang Yiming excitedly held the luxury version in his arms, then took out the pre-sale code of the Red Alert, purchased the regular version of the Red Alert, and then got a Tanya Q-version figure around.
Originally, Huang Yiming also wanted to buy the luxury version of Red Alert, but unfortunately, this time the number of luxury versions of Red Alert is even smaller, with only 5,000 copies worldwide, so there was no purchase in this store, which made Huang Yiming sigh.
When Huang Yiming returned with a lot of things in his arms, he found that a reporter holding a microphone was following two cameramen, and there were also people calling on Daqian’s cell phone in the team.
"Even the TV station was alarmed!" Huang Yiming looked at the reporter in surprise, and then he was too lazy to get too much trouble. He directly called a taxi and went back to his office.
————————————
"Unbox! Unbox!!"
As soon as she returned to the office, Huang Yiming couldn't wait to immediately open the luxury version of the packaging box.
"Wow! The design of this box is so cool!" Huang Yiming shouted in shock after opening the box and tossing it out.
Boss Jia deeply understands that packaging is the hard truth. If the luxury version wants to be sold at $999, it will not work if it is not high-end in packaging.
So this time, the luxury version of the packaging box has adopted the stainless steel iron box method unprecedentedly. Once you hold it in your arms, the weight makes people feel taller.
Then there was the things inside the box. Boss Jia had the classic Luban lock design. When Huang Yiming opened the box, he found that he could not take out any of the boxes alone. In the end, Huang Yiming could only take out all the small boxes from the packaging box.
But even so, Huang Yiming studied for most of the day and couldn't take out even the smallest box.
Until Huang Yiming accidentally tapped a box hard and pushed it inside, the dozen or so entangled small boxes all dispersed in an instant, like rain, big beads fell on the jade plate.
