Nemesis-301 wrotepcandparts just updated the prices:
Diablo III (EU) ( ETA May 15 ) $66.00TTC
Diablo III (US) ( ETA May 15 ) $61.00TTC

I think I'm gonna get the US version, since they're all the same...

and DAMN diablo 3 isn't even out yet and this thread has 1600 views hahaha
The only difference in those 2 editions are that:
EU will be unlocked to play at May 15th, 12:01 AM (00:01, midnight) CEST (UTC+2).
US will be unlocked to play at May 15th, 12:01 AM (00:01, midnight) PDT (UTC-7).

Unless you will be up to play at 01:01 am like me you dont need to worry about it :)

Rody I didnt get your question completely.

for Currency AH i.e Real money AH: you can only buy and sell to your Home region as selected in your BNET. Hence you will have to make your farm characters in that region to make Real Money.
Btw you guys can install now :) or try to atleast

Rody, I have finished installation and Updated the final patch, if u need it let me know. Do try to install from the US version 1st.

Anybody been able to play yet? My game hasn't arrived yet so I can't test it out on my crappy connection.

If you guys have been able to play? Could you please specify what connection you have and the lag you're experiencing if any? Also do you get intermittent disconnections?

Thanks

And also check out this article on the always online bullcrap...we are not going to fare well over here I can tell you that.

I have been playing on EU and can assure you that if you have 1mbit u can play w/o any issues. I have been getting 250-350ms and the gameplay is not affected at all.
peekaie wroteWhen playing single player, are we actually playing on our computer or on blizzard's servers? Suppose I'm playing on a very slow internet connection, but I'm able to authenticate and login, will I be able to play single player without lag?
Okay, I've done some research, it seems like we're also subject to lag during single player. This will be horrible when we lose hc characters due to lag spikes. Come on, lagging during single player, that's a real deal breaker for me.
I hate how everything is going online oriented. Starcraft Lan parties died in Lebanon because of this. Dota 2 will probably not make it, and now Diablo 3. Meh.
The game is extremely fun, especially in coop mode, a friend and I have teamed up so far all the way.
For those who are thinking about getting the game from PCandParts... here is their latest reply to my email.
Dear Sir,

Kindly be informed that Diablo 3 EU preorder quantity has all been depleted for the moment on the first come first served preorder basis

Price is now temporary up from our supplier to $82.00TTC, item is available in limited quantity.

for a faster delivery we would recommend checking the US version since it is the same product and is available for $66.00TTC
I made the pre-order for Diablo 3 from pcandparts around a month ago, and now that its launch time they didn't even drop me an email. Not even the email you just posted. I'm really really disappointed and i think i'm gonna cancel my order especially since they're clearly ripping people off now and trying to cash as much as they can from it.

What's funny is that i ordered the US version and not the EU. What a bad service on their end.
So... where can I buy the game? Can I find it in big stores like Virgin's? And if so... price? And size of the game? Just want to know these thanks :)
