Diablo III Real-Money Auction House Launches in Americas

Here's more Diablo III news, as the game's website has word that the real-money auction house is now live for the Americas region of the action/RPG sequel, allowing the sale of in-game items for cold, hard cash in the form of the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, and Mexican peso. They say the launch will follow for other currencies in the Americas region as well as the European game region, as they are staging the launch to try and keep things running as smoothly as possible. To that end, this involves equipment only to begin with, and they will roll out commodities trading in future. They outline regional restrictions on how this works, and remind us of the recently announced requirement that an authenticator be used to by real-money auction house users.

Made out like a bandit last night for basically just playing the game like I would have anyway. In a way I'm kind of sad that this monetization of gaming has arrived in earnest but on the other hand its hard to argue with idiots paying for my games for me. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, people are still paying $50 for D2 items which were endlessly duped. One thing is for sure, EA will be hopping on this bandwagon as soon as humanly possible.

They made it a pain in the ass to cash out on this thing btw, I suspect anything over $60 has to be manually approved.

Edit: since someone sent me a PM about it, legendaries are an easy thing to cash out, people love them that orange text color. Even dumb shit like a Butchers Sickle was going for $15 a pop yesterday, not sure where its at this morning though.
