digitally downloading or buying it from the store?

[:1]Are you going to preorder it and actually pick the game up in store, IN PERSON SO THE SEXY BOX THAT CONTAINS THE CONTENTS OF WHAT YOU`VE BEEN WAITING FOR, FOR 10 YEARS TO PLAY IS LITERALLY IN YOUR HAND?!



OR. Are you gonna download it digitally? that takes out the excitment in my opinion. lol.|||Truth be told I'm not sure. I'm lazy so digital download would be the fastest option. However I agree I would like the box for nostalgia.|||This is how i`ll forsee my night getting it...



10 years of waiting and you`d rather have the game downloaded?

I for one, would rather have it in person, in my hands, driving 100 mph to my house, smashing through the garage door, running up stairs, tripping over my own feet but all the while keep the box above my head so there is no damage, then...and then....



I take it out of the bag. I stare at it. And think to myself...here it is. 10 years. right here. ill have tons of food/soda/juice/water stored up in a frig near by, that way I would not have to leave my room.



I`ll carefully open the box, piece by piece till all the contents are laid out in a straight line in front of me...and examine then and scream like a little school girl..

I`ll find the cd it self, plot it in, and then wait for it to download. when it says installation complete, all the lights shut off, time to play in utter darkness and say good bye to the world for quiet a few days...

ALL THE WHILE ILL BE RECORDING MYSELF UNBOXING THE GREAT GAME AS DIABLO.|||I'm old school. I'll go pick up my physical copy on launch day.|||ill literally record me waking up in excitment and just fastforward throughout the day till im driving to the store.|||I'm starting to think this thread was just a setup for that long post

I likely will buy a hard copy, plus I have a $50 gift card that I've had since Christmas, so I might as well use it.|||Years ago I bought the collectors edition of Diablo 2, and I loved it. It came with so much stuff to check out, listen, and read, it was nice while I waited to download patches on my 56k modem.

Anyway, yes, buying a CE of D3 will be totally worth it.|||CE. Boxed copy. Midnight. If Best Buy does a midnight CE launch, otherwise, it will be GAMESLOP (gag)

Now the big question... install and play all night til eyes bleed... or.. install, play for a bit, play all night the next day after work?!|||hear's my ideal plan

digital download and begin playing while you're still standing in line at the store

blast through the game as fast as possible, reach max level, get some really good gear

sell char at AH (I'll be happy with $30)

then I'll go buy a box version

what'll probably happen

digital download and begin playing while you're still standing in line at the store

blast through the first 3 minutes of the game

be blown away by how awesome the game is

slow down and carefully level that character and the artisans to max level

find and craft really good gear

stick with that one char for a very, very long time|||Quote:
