The console version of Diablo 3 has the same features as the PC version. It has the same [[zones]], [[events]], [[monsters]], [[bosses]], [[classes]], [[skills]], [[runes]]. It features the same systems such as the [[Paragon]] system, [[Infernal Machine]], [[Brawling]] and [[Monster Power]]. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/additional-diablo-3-console-details-revealed-at-pax-east Console has the same content] - Matthew Berger, Blizzard Entertainment, 25/03/13</ref> It is planned to ship up to [[Patch 1.0.7]] but perhaps [[Patch 1.0.8]] depending on the development time. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-defends-diablo-3s-four-player-maximum Patch release number] - Blizzard Entertainment, 29/03/13</ref>
Characters can be copied to a USB drive and then accessed via another console, allowing gamers to continue playing offline characters at each other's houses. Characters created offline can never be played on the consoles' online services however. In that way it's the same way Closed and Open characters were handled in Diablo 2. It's not known if characters created online can be transferred to offline mode.
To save character's to the consoles hard drive 5mb will be needed on the Xbox 360 and 12mb on the Playstation 3 version. More is required on the PS3 version because of the trophy pack.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9280998875?page=3#45 Hard Drive space needed] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 15/07/13</ref>
====Hardcore Characters====
As characters can be copied onto a USB this means if a Hardcore character dies and it's saved it can potentially be restored. However, when restoring from the USB it your profile online would be overwritten and with it any other characters.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9280238334#12 Offline Hardcore Characters] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 08/07/13</ref>

==Finally, to Note==
* There is no Collector's Edition for either console version.
* Console versions of the game can not be purchased with [[Battle.net Balance]].
* Patching frequency is still to be clarified.
* Can not transfer heroes from PC version to a console version.
* There is no beta for the console version of Diablo 3.
* Gold cost for crafting has been reduced on the console to compensation for the lack of Auction House.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/9280998875?page=4#65 Crafting Costs] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 08/08/13</ref>
