I continue to have fun with it, and will for some time and am glad to have it (even though I ended up messing up and essentially paying far more than $60 for it 
). But, some people might call me a simpleton too.
Be careful with reviews you read. I find that the most negative reviews you will find ring mostly of disappointment. The coming of D3 was elevated onto such a pedestal by many that any game living up to such expectations would have to be the best game. Ever! Also, much of the pain folks are expressing involves the fourth difficulty, Inferno. Blizzard has basically stated that this was tacked on to satisfy players that were worried about the game being too easy and that there was little testing.
Now, would I buy a new computer for it, or any game for that matter, no. Been there, done that. I bought my current laptop (beautiful machine, no regrets) as WoW got slower and slower and I couldn't deal anymore but I was really making an excuse to replace a 3 year old laptop (ancient in laptop years). However, if running D3 is the last straw for an older machine, screaming to be retired, and if you feel that taking 5 classes through 3 difficulties, ignoring Inferno, will give you enough bang for your buck, making your son happy in the deal, go for it.
