Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that Diablo 3 can now be pre-ordered for the PlayStation 3 platform and that everyone who gets the game ahead of its release will receive a bonus item in-game.

The bonus is in the form of the Infernal Helm, which grants extra XP to characters who wear it.

Diablo 3 came out almost a year ago on the PC and Mac platforms and now Blizzard is getting ready to release it for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 platforms.

We heard quite a lot of details in the past few months and Blizzard has now started accepting pre-orders for the game's PS3 edition through different retailers.

All those who get the game will receive a bonus item called the Infernal Helm, which grants a boost to the XP gathered by characters who wear it, making it essential in the early portion of the game, according to Blizzard.

As of yet, however, there's no word about pre-orders for the PS4 edition and Blizzard hasn't even confirmed a release date for the game.
