Correct. That is my current conclusion. It is also based on how the pricing for D3 has been. They basically assign no value to D3 base. RoS and Necro still had value and are charged for.
There is no discount - D2R if a flat cost.
Something is discounted somewhere. Or else the numbers don’t add up.
Like I said, starting at $49, buying D2R put me at $15, meaning D2R was $34.
So
- D2R $39.99
- Cosmetics $10
- D3 (base, RoS, Necro) $10*
*Base no cost, RoS $5 and Necro $5
That is how I THINK they have it.
The base appears to be $10 due to the adjustment (for me who owns only the base) from $59 down to $49 for the Upgrade . So the base has to have some amount of money in the bundle.
Same issue here. I was going to buy the upgrade because I want to own D2 and the extras. The upgrade says $49.99 for me and I own D3 with the Necromancer expansion and all content they have offered. When I go to check out it is still 49.99 plus tax. I’m guessing they charge full price for D2 39.99 and another $10 for “the Mephisto pet and Hatred’s Grasp wings for Diablo® III”
Correct. That is what several of us have figured out so far.
This has caused a lot of confusion, including to me. So this is what seems to be going on. Hopefully this helps.

If you have any part of those three the “upgrade” will adjust price based off of the licenses on your Bnet account.
*Note: Reference to LOD in the Shop page means they resurrected LOD as well as base D2 as a bundle. You won’t have to buy a remastered LOD separately. It is NOT a new LOD 2001 license.

I have all Diablo 3 content, I bought the upgrade pack, paid £42.99, which if I got this correct means I paid £34.99 for Diablo 2R and I guess the remaining £8 for the wings?

I’m in the EU. I purchased the upgrade and paid 49.99€ for it. I own all D3 content that can be purchased and understand I paid 10€ on top of the 40€ for D2R just for cosmetics. Am I right?

I have a question:
If I already own D3 and the expansion pack, should I get the Diablo Prime Evil Upgrade that will include D2 Resurrected and D3 plus all the expansions, D2: Resurrected alone or the Diablo Prime Evil Collection? What is the best purchase?
What do you mean by Account Specific?

Good question! I have no idea haha. I wish I knew too.
Account Specific means that the Shop evaluates the game licenses on your Battlenet account and adjusts the price based on it. If someone already owns Diablo 3, RoS, and/or the Necro pack it will remove up to $10 from the bundle.

Up to you.
The Prime Evil bundle is for people who want D3 and don’t have it yet.
The UPGRADE is for people who already have D3 and want the D2R themed cosmetics and D2R. It will give you a discount up to $10 instead of charging you for the Diablo 3 content you already have.
If you don’t want the D2R themed cosmetics for D3 then just get the base D2R.

Thanks, MissCheetah. Looks like I will be getting D2R alone.

That is what I did. I just got the Base D2R. I already have all the D3 game content.
If I want the cosmetics for D3 later, all I have to do is select the Upgrade option and it will just charge me for only the Cosmetics ($10).
So if I have D3 and RoS but no necromancer, is the Prime Evil collection costing £45.99 correct?
It would be between $50 and $55 USD depending on how the shop software is handling the D3 bundle pricing. I am guessing it would be $55 USD but I can’t test that on my account. (MVPs are other players, not Blizz folks).
I am not sure what that coverts to for you.
I have all D3 content (RoS, Necro), and when I click “buy now” on the Prime Evil Collection Upgrade, it wants to charge me $54, so after taxes, it seems like the D3 content (pet, wings) is roughly $10, too bad this upgrade didn’t include the RoS digital collectors upgrade also
Yes, that is correct. The details are in this post. The post actually as charts and lists despite the preview not showing it right.
