:D Enjoy.

Fuck yeah.

Neat.

I'll celebrate when it's on my hard drive.

Nah if Blizzard has announced it they'll stick with it, and I've already got the annual pass for WoW so I get a digital download on release day. I'm excited.

Fixed.

They've never announced a release date.

I just pre-ordered my addiction for the next few years.

This. Nice try though, Skurai. Blizzard rarely goes back on an announced release date. The entire reason they wait so long to announce the release date is because they want to be sure they can meet it.

Regardless. I might at least borrow it from my buddy Zach, when he gets it.

Except that wont work unless you use his account too.

I still can't believe you have to be online just to play single player, too. I know they're doing it to prevent anyone from trying to hack the game, but think about all those poor Uganda children who don't have a fiber optic connection.

So do you pay for the account or the disc?

Only old people still have dial up. If you have enough money to purchase a 50 dollar game and the computer to run it, you probably have the cash to get cable.

While this is a perfectly valid argument, some people don't have stable internet connections. In most of the places I've lived in the last 5 years or so I've had some sort of internet issues that kept my internet connection from being stable. Now I'm fine, but it's still annoying that I can't play Singleplayer SC2 when my internet is down or the login servers are down.

You pay for a key which gets bound to your account. Personally I don't even get a key or CD, I just get a digital copy of the game attached to my account so I can download and play.

I'm just buying it straight up. Getting a new computer and the collector's edition. I can't wait for it. I really really hope it lives up to the hype. Anyone been playing the beta?

Hopefully we won't all need new computers to play it. Haven't checked the system req yet.

I've currently got a gtx 295. It has some lag playing sc2 on ultra when there are a lot of units. I need to upgrade video cards soon. 3 years old is practically ancient.

I need a new computer because my old one broke. I've been going completely off of my sister's macbook air and my mom's HP laptop with an i3 processor. So all in all I can't do anything regarding DIII. My plan is to get a good laptop because i'm still in college and then get a gaming desktop. If I have to play DIII on the laptop for a bit I will.

I had bought this, but found out that they lie when they say it's a laptop. It's more like a desktop replacement: So I ended up trading it back to Tigerdirect and having them send me a 14inch Alienware.

I'm planning on alienware 15.5 inch. 17 inch is just to big. I don't understand why you'd want that on a laptop. I'd rather a 15.5 inch with a i7 processor and 1 gig graphics card with 8 gigs of ram and pay like $500 less.

Alienware discontinued the 15" series and made a 14" series. And the specs I have are almost exactly that +1.5gb to the video card.

The computer I was using like over 5 years ago meets the minimum requirements for Diablo 3. My current computer surpasses the recommended, I should be able to play on the highest settings with no issues.

That's what I wanna be able to do but I can't do that right now since I don't actually have my own computer. Hence why I'm mainly playing games that will be really easy to switch over to another computer. Actually, if I could get a recommendation, I am in college so a computer under $1000 would be nice. Any ideas what I should get that has a high performance but low cost?

They never set a date before hand.

Indeed it was, but a couple of weeks ago (notice the date on the article) Blizzard then announced that D3 will see a release in May.

And May 15th is in fact in May so would that mean they never moved it?

It's about fucking time. Fuck.

I got a job. First $500 goes to getting me a new car. Next $100 is Diablo III

I've played through maybe half of the beta on one character, I'm underwhelmed so far. I keep thinking "I want to play Skyrim"

Awww. That's disappointing...

Which character are you using?

The mage character.

I just wanna play the monk. Just like I do in DDO

The monk is my favorite, followed closely by the demon hunter.

Those are the two I'm really excited about. I don't really wanna play the old classes. I mean, they're great and all but I've played them before.

My turn to post a picture

finally got the money together while still paying for gas and buying a car.
