No, that's Blizzard. You can't just turn Activision into the bogeyman for everything - Blizzard very likely still has control over their own prices.

The world of digital download pricing is weird. I believe part of it is that they can't undercut the retail stores, but that never really explains it fully.

Just now peeking over 42 dps with my Demon Hunter. Wondering if it's even possible to get it to around 50. I think I can, a better bow or crossbow will do. I have an 18.6 dmg one.

Next will be working on a monk DPS.

My brother told me that the beta had ended. Is that true?

Nope the BETA is still accessable. :)

Yeah, if you got access! :(

Mmm Sweet Beta Access. Makes me feel all warm inside.

Actually the sad truth is After having played through each class a few times (been in beta since the second round of invites) I only sign in after a new patch to check out the changes and I dont play much. Cannot wait for the final release though :D

Erggh, I ordered the Limited Edition from a game store about 7-8 months ago, I've since moved to another location. Turns out the franchise won't move my pre-order to a new local outlet (EB Games). Gonna mean I am left without the game for a week or two after release.

Suppose I have got the Beta until then though. And StarCraft II (which I probably will always prefer over D3 anyway). Still, can't wait. Should be fun. I just hope it's not destroyed by hackers/spam bots.

I've been in beta for a couple months and tried each class too. I won't play too far because I don't want to ruin the surprise on release day. Not to mention levelling and gearing up just to be wiped. ;-) I'm sure this doesn't break NDA, but does anyone else have horrid graphical performance? I am running the gaming machine in my sig and there's no way this game shouldn't be easily handled. I get lots of drops in frame rates and delays in spell casts because of it. I'm hoping it is just because there is a lot of debugging code in there.

Even it is exactly D2 with super nice new graphics and style... I'm sold.

Not sure why anyone wouldn't be.

Ya, if it is the same as D2, I fear for my job :p

not really certain how anyone can look at this game and think that it is Diablo 2 with a new coat of paint. The game is VERY different sure its still an Iso top down action game but the game play is a lot different :p

Yeah, I agree. The mechanics and classes are completely different. Anyone who says it's just a prettier D2 is a huge troll.

Thing is D2 was awesome.. so even if it is a D2 with fresh paint.. it's still awesome ;)

Just a heads up, the beta does actually end so you can't physically go "too far" on it. The beta is about half of Act 1 from the final game. Also there is no NDA but I can't say I am having any graphical problems, been running around 40fps with eyefinity 60 without and vsync on. I have however experienced a lot of net lag which can feel like fps lag at times, all the beta servers are over in America so lag is very prevalent in the UK

Try turning down the "voices" option in audio settings. The max setting requires some insane cpu power.

While true, I do not think I can play a game like D2 for very long anymore. As I have aged, so has my preference for gaming......I don't feel I can play a game like D2 for another 5+ years like I did with D2, so I probably won't pick it up, at least not right away. As awesome as D2 is, if it were released today I wouldn't play it for more than a week or two.

Are you sure? I've heard that the end of the D3 beta is the equivalent of the Blood Raven quest from D2....if that's the case, it's only about 1/3rd of Act 1.

Finally got around to playing the beta earlier this week, and it's not bad. It's been a while since I last played the first Diablo (never played the second one), so nice to get a little blast from the past. :)
