They always followed Blizzard policy by denying everything prior to an official reveal. (Obviously they knew a lot about it; the items in the CE were planned months of years in advance.) For example, A fan asked about the D3:CE at [[Crafting_Sanctuary_Panel_Blizzcon_2010#Question_and_Answer|the Crafting Sanctuary Panel]] at Blizzcon 2010:
'''''Question: ''' What exclusively might there be in a Diablo III Collector's Edition?''<br>
Another instance came in February 2011, from the [[@Diablo non-replied to a question about what the D3:CE might contain on February 28, 2011]] twitter feed. [http://twitter.com/Diablo/status/42275137696968704]

==What might be included?Fan Speculation==
Fans[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-the-collectors-edition/] are were fond[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=789382] of speculating[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=747652&highlight=collector+edition] about what[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=669316&highlight=collector+edition] might be contained in the Diablo III Collector's Edition. Nothing is known for sure, but some things are fairly safe bets.
In the collector's editions for their recent titles (Warcraft 3, WoW and its expansions, and Starcraft 2), Blizzard has always included the game's soundtrack, an art book, a comic book, and a behind the scenes making-of-the-game DVD, and World of Warcraft virtual pet. All of those seem seemed fairly safe bets for the Diablo III collector's edition, and indeed most of them were included.
* A unique model for the in-game Thor unit in multiplayer.
* A World of Warcraft virtual pet.
