Blizzard has finally announced the Collector’s Edition of Diablo 3, along with the official box art that the game will ship in.

The Diablo 3 Collector’s Edition will come with the following items: Artbook, Soundtrack, Behind the Scenes DVD, Diablo 3 Aesthetic Artifacts, World of Warcraft Fetish Shaman Companion, StarCraft 2 Battle.net Portraits, Soulstone USB Drive.

The USB drive will come with Diablo 2 pre-installed on it, giving you access to the classic game that we’ve all grown to love. Little is known about the “Aesthetic Artifacts”, but I assume it’s just a couple of items to change your character’s armor looks (kind of like Transmogrification in World of Warcraft).

Edit: The Diablo 3 website has been updated with the official Collector’s Edition Preview:
