Oh, sorry about that, didn't check - but the first game can be played with Microsoft Windows:

Not sure if it's any good or not compared to the second. I just thought the style looked quite similar to D3.

I'm hoping that if there are D3 Beta keys in the goodie bag, that eventually they'll give those people invites as well later on in another wave to give to their friends.

Can't wait to play it i was a huge fan of Diablo II =)

Yeah, they talk a bit about the arenas on the site. I was really pumped when I saw some SSs http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/pvp.xml "Our system is focused on encouraging furious combat and multiplayer progression, not stringent competitive rankings, so you'll earn points after every match and Battle.net matchmaking will pit you against similarly skilled opponents."
Sounds pretty familiar to me.
"In addition to losses, wins are now also no longer shown. Instead, players will see Jim Raynor giving them a thumbs-up after every match regardless if they win or lose."

As far as I know the only way to get into beta is through your B.net account. Don't think they are handing out beta keys at blizzcon since its near the end of October and they announced the beta is scheduled for Q3 release. I expect they should have the game balanced from the Q3 beta test by this time and announce a release date set in time to rake in those christmas dollars everyone throws around at that time of year.

I'm so happy I haven't used my World Wide Invitational Paris 2008 beta key yet 
any old beta key from previous blizzard events should work, in case you guys still have one

simply because of the failproof nature of RPGs, I'm expecting a much shorter beta window than SC2 had, which i'm pumped for. I'm probably more excited about this release than starcraft 2.

I assume D3 will have a ladder like D2 did. And by that count, people like to race the ladder. In classic necromancers were extremely OP on release with corpse explosion. In LoD we had druids on release just being gods. While assassin was teeeeeerrible, so unfair advantages etc has to be balanced, and no class can suck.

Pretty sure that beta key was SC2 specific.

I never really liked Diablo, I guess it's because I like online games more. Will this game include multiplayer, and if so, will it include a PvP system?

... are you serious? Every diablo game has been online (had multiplayer), there are posts about the pvp system within this last page. Please use common sense.

Over on the Diablo 3 wikia forums I added section in the Diablo 3 info on Followers several days ago.
The main thing it includes is the skills for each of the 3 followers, organized by level.
http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Diablo_III
I originally thought I was gonna use a Templar to tank for my Witch Doctor, but reading over the Scoundrel skills (Black Market, Rain of Gold, etc) it got me thinking that he might have skills that influence gold income.
One of the panels @ Blizzcon explained that gold will be significantly harder to obtain in D3, and there will be MANY more ways to use it (compared to Diablo 2). Their goal is to make gold something worth actually getting. This brings me to believe that if these skills do what they sound like they will do, the Scoundrel could be VERY useful in the long-term.
It's worth checking out the skills and guessing what they might do / how you might spec them to your future characters.

You should not forget. Followers are only available when you play solo. And they are also only viable in Normal, mean they probably be 1 shot in Nightmare and so forth.
So the usefullness of the Followers could be questioned. I think its a nice system for those who like to start solo and still get the feeling of co-op.. There is not really a long-term strategy with the Followers, guessing you will get more gold in Nightmare and Hell.

So I actually found my old diablo 2 keys and am downloading the game as we speak. What site is best for diablo 2 atm. I've never played hardcore so I dont know the 'good' builts, uniques, runewords and such.
|
|
Don't forget the old faithful Arreat Summit. It has listed all the classes, skills, uniques, and runewords.
But for the most part, I find it to be the best databank for items.

well i know for a fact that those WWI Paris 2008 keys worked for the following games:
World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King World of Warcraft Cataclysm Starcraft II
and the website mentioned on the card is still up, so I hope the key will still work

Can't wait for this omggggggggggg. I just found my d1 disc last night. And then had a dream about it last night. I got rushed by a level 5500 sorc but when we got to the Arreal summit i got there late and didn't get to kill all 3 barbs

The sound/music feels really good in D3. Good sounds is the core of a good game imo. "Raaaawwwrrr fresh meat" is still as scary as I remembered it. "Looking for Baal?" is still as baller as I remembered it.
Games are so good. Everybody, just take a moment and thank this universe for internet.
