8 minutes, 30 seconds if that doesn't work properly.

I take it PS3/4 players won't share the same servers as their PC brethern then?

Yeah, I think that was confirmed a few days ago.

but having online and offline profiles was impossible or overly complicated for the players....

But how will the auction house be protected, as game save files are easily edited on the consoles?

IMHO:

With the recent upgrades to D3 (PC) it seems Blizzard is actively moving focus away from the RMAH, I doubt it will appear in the console versions. With no RMAH then there is no need for an online profile.

This isn't the 1st Diablo game to appear on consoles so they know what they are doing.

I will stick to the starcraft franshise for now then

offline profile, as always is stored locally. online profile, as it is today is stored online. there is no editing. you either play your online profile or you play your offline profile.

Where was it said that you couldn't play online after playing in offline play? And if so, why it wasn't done in the PC version?

I didn't buy Blizzard's lame excuses. I stuck to my decision from back in 2010 to skip D3, where it already was clear that Blizzard main development is aimed towards bringing the game to consoles.
