If you already have a Battle.net account (i.e. for Starcraft or WoW), then you just log int to your account and go to Games info. Then you can download the D3 installer that will install the beta. If you don't have a Battle.net account, I don't know if you're eligible, but I suspect if you create a new one they will let you play. You will have to have one to play the full retail version anyway, so you might as well create one if you plan to buy it.

It's not the same as your D2 login. Go to Battle.net and create a new account. In addition to downloading the D3 beta, you will be able to add D2+LoD expansion to your list of games using the serial numbers you have for them. This also gives you access to an online installer in case you ever lose the discs or serial number.

I'm bumping this because D3 is out today!! Who picked up a copy?? I just made my fiance go buy it for me while I'm at work. It's waiting for me when I get homeeeeee

JARblue · 05-15-2012, 10:39 AM

My wife bought me the Collector's Edition for Christmas, but it just shipped today and not schedule for delivery until Saturday

Any other day, I would just buy the digital copy online, but I am shelling out $$ for a new R2C intake today.

Won't really have time to play until this weekend anyway, so I'll just be waiting until Saturday.

OK cool. Now I gotta pick up a nice laptop to play it on. Any recommendations?

I would be happy to chat with you about a laptop regarding specs vs budget. Luckily, the video requirements for this game are very minimal in comparison to other games released in the past two years. Any sort of gaming laptop should be just fine. Even non-gaming laptops with upgraded video capabilities should be fine. Just stay away from the very basic laptop video chipsets such as the Intel GMA series.

I can't even imagine playing D3 on a laptop. I built my own computer last year and going that path is more than affordable. What's your budget?

Gateway has some $600 machines at Best Buy that would be more than enough to run this game at decent quality settings. However, a 15" screen is quite small when you're used to a 32" (which I just downgraded to a higher quality 27"). The main component missing on a laptop is nice mouse, but external wireless ones work fine.

I build all my own machines and sometimes my work machines, too. A $1000 will build a pretty spiffy machine that often costs upwards of $2000 from any brand name manufacturer.

laptops are pretty powerful these days if you get a good mid to high end one.

damn...i just realized i need to rebuild my computer for MechWarrior when it comes out this summer.

anybody else see that someone in korea already beat D3

i will probably play d3 later on, i'm going to let it settle in for a bit. i'm not overly competitive about it, so i'm kinda bleh about getting a new game right now.

i'm saving up for MechWarrior Online and Guild Wars 2 now.

Ridiculous!!

I can't imagine having that much time (or that little of a social life

)

I'm looking for a 15". Most of the time while playing I will either have it connected to an external monitor or my TV and a USB mouse. $1000 - $1300 or so is right around my price range. I'm mostly concerned about the laptop having a decent enough graphics card since the processor specs are a generation old
