Re-posting of photo coverage

There's a minor glitch on using the Flickr photo set embed to my blog. The thumbnails are posted okay and fine, but the when you click it to view the large version of the photo, you need to be logged in to your Flickr account. And if you dont have an account or not logged in to Flickr, the photo that you click for view will not appear in your browser.

I'm going to re upload and embed the best size for view here in my blog.
thanks to sir Ted for informing me of this glitch.

Diablo III commercial launch event in SM City Manila (photo coverage)

P5139705
I went to the commercial launch of Diablo III in SM City Manila yesterday, I went there after attending the Diablo III press launch and also a meeting in an office in Makati. I arrived at around 3:30pm, but when I arrived at SM Cyberzone event center, I saw the set up of the launching event and the program has ended.

Gamers ordered the game thru Cybr internet shop, they accept pre order of the game and also a venue for pick up of DVD game. One of the staff of the shop shared to me that they already receive a 1 thousand pre-order of the game and that's only for one store reseller. That day they receive around 9 pre orders while others are for pick ups.

Watch out for more event photos that I'll post here soon, I've requested photos from SM Cyberzone and they told me they can upload it tomorrow.
