MMOBUX Assesses Two Famous Diablo 3 Gold Sites for Prices and Overall Shopping Experience

Online, August 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Diablo 3 Gold is the main currency in Diablo 3, an online action game from Blizzard and the third installment to the world-famous hack-and-slash series. Diablo 3 Gold can be spent to purchase in-game items such as legendary weapons and armor, battle consumables and crafting materials.

Note: Price comparisons were conducted for 50M Gold on the US Normal Mode server on August 16, 2012. Benchmark price set at 50M Gold for $77.15 based on MMOBUX price tracker as of latest update on August 16, 2012. Observe caution when applying the result of these comparisons to EU and Asia Normal Mode servers and Hardcore servers.

mmoxp (http://www.mmobux.com/shops/mmoxp) sells 50M Gold for $60.05, not including the coupon discounts that the shop occasionally gives out. Prices are cheaper for EU and Asia Normal Mode servers, and more expensive in all three Hardcore Mode servers, reaching up to $135 per 50M Gold in EU Hardcore Mode.

Verdict: mmoxp's price is 22% lower than the industry average. This makes mmoxp prices more expensive than our other reviewed Diablo 3 gold seller, 3zoom. You will pay roughly $1.712 per 10M Gold when buying here than 3zoom.

Pros: Offers wide variety of bundles for both heavy and light purchasers. Prices start at $6 for 5M Gold with increments climbing small and steadily up to the bulkiest $600.50 for 500M Gold. During our review, supply seemed steady across four servers - US, EU and Asia Normal Modes, and EU Hardcore Mode - and promised quick deliveries of as fast as 30 minutes.

Cons: Players on US and Asia Hardcore Mode servers will wait longer for their orders. These servers were only accepting pre-order status during our review, which meant that stock was scarce and deliveries would take up to 24 hours. Limited payment options, which only includes Paypal, Credit Card and Paysafecard that adds an additional 10% charge fee.

3zoom (http://www.mmobux.com/shops/3zoom
) sells 50M Gold for $51.49, not including the possible discounts from becoming a VIP customer. Like mmoxp, 3zoom prices are cheaper for EU and Asia Normal Mode servers. All three Hardcore Mode servers have even higher Gold prices climbing to $121 per 50M Gold in EU Hardcore Mode.

Verdict: 3zoom's price is 33% lower than the industry average. In terms of base prices, 3zoom beats out mmoxp. Bulk buyers though might not be satisfied with the relatively smaller bundles in 3zoom that reach only up to 250M Gold.

Pros: Wide array of payment options from Western Union, PayPal, Moneybookers, Wire Transfer and 3Coin. Has a VIP customer program that awards discounts for spending more on 3zoom. You can get a Bronze VIP status with a 1% discount perk to Diablo 3 Gold after spending 200 to 1,000 dollars. This climbs to Silver (1% discount, up to 3,000 dollars spent) then Gold (2% discount, up to 10,000 dollars spent) and the highest Diamond (3% discount, 10,000 dollars spent).

Cons: Relatively smaller bundles. While mmoxp buyers can easily choose the 500M Gold option, 3zoom buyers will need to order twice at the maximum 250M Gold. Bite-size buyers also do not have the option to purchase anything less than 10M Gold, while mmoxp allows transactions of as low as 5M Gold.
