d3ad wroteThe CE has been sold out on Amazon.com/co.uk for quite a while now, also best buy online store is sold out :(

It seems ill have to buy the normal version !

but they will make a second batch...wont they?!?!

well I am hoping, I requested a favor from my uncle, and he was convinced he could pre-order it from the store itself (which you cannot do ) so he didnt place the order online and now its gone sold out, so hoping to get a physical copy from the best buy, (after the zerg rush)

shant wrotebut if i get the original then i wouldn't pay another 100$ for the collectors edition, and i want the collectors edition one really really bad!

well if you pay the 80$ and buy the pre-purchase option from Blizzard (80$ as we cannot buy it in US$ and have to pay 59.99 Euros which comes to 78.9$) and later buy the CE Edition, you can Upgrade your Standard Key to a CE (all your progress will be saved and you will get the ingame benefits of CE) and than you can get one Standard Key reimbursed from Blizzard Support which you can sell/gift to anyone.

shant wroteyes but it still wont save me from paying extra

Yes indeed, I already bought the Digital Version :(

zheavy wrotewhich one should i get EU or US ? <.<

The game itself is Global, the restriction on you will be for using the RMAH, i.e. if your country is set as US you will only be able to do transactions in US region and vice versa.

Another restriction is if you have your country set as the one in EU region you will buy the game in Euros instead of US .

Besides these you will be able to play on any region you like.

i been reading their entire set up on the AH, it never mentioned on playing separately for both different server so it does make sense, it was only the AH transaction that were done by server from what is mentioned.

Since Lebanon can't participate in the real-money AH, your basically saying both copies are equal?

edit: reason i'm asking "both copies", is cause pc and parts are selling 2 different sets of copies, so i'm quite confused, i also thought game was global and auto-set ups according to my battle.net account.

for gaming yes both copies are equal, Afaik, for RMAH, you can take part in it even if you are from Lebanon, but you wont be able to take the real cash out of it due to non-existence of paypal (2 modes of payments available 1.Blizzard cash 2. Paypal (charges u A transfer fee))

as for the restrictions of Region, You can only post Real Money Auctions on Europe Region if you are from Lebanon, which directly means you have to acquire items in EU to sell on EU and vice versa.

P.S: I am saying this as per my understanding so may be there is more it.

as far as the playing is concerned no matter which copy you buy, you will have option to play on all 3 Regions, US/EU/Asia all u will need to do is select where from game options.

also client is same for all regions besides the language.

For info: the EnGB installer is 7.6GB, and before you can play an expected patch of under 100MB will be downloaded.
