I have a question - I can't see the answer in the thread.

Will we be able to patch before 9BST on 27/7/10 (i.e. from midnight onwards)? Or will the installer/patching only work once 9BST rolls around?

If it's the former obviously digital is the right option, but if not, my CE will probably arrive around 10BST anyway.

Wait, how does this help you get the game quicker? Sure you can download it, but it says you have to wait until 10am Pacific or 1 Eastern to install. If I go out at midnight I can install it before then, right?
Real action, my dream.

If you go get the box copy @ midnight at a store, you will have it playing before the digital copy-buyers.

I wouldn't be surprised if the servers aren't actually up until 1 pm est since that's when you can play the digital copy.

You realize the installers will be the same whether you get it digitally or physically. You just download the client, go pick up your game at midnight, enter the cd-key, install & patch, play... or you can wait until 10am pdt to purchase the cd-key from blizzard.

exactlly your just downloading the game, you still have to install it. It will be like you get home from buying the game at 10 PST. For the people who said servers may not be up till then, I really doubt it, servers will be up at midnight

you can buy the physical game when it comes out, add the serial to your battlenet account
installing from your harddisk is faster than from DVD

i mean just start the downloader and let it download the game
keeps you occupied until july 27th

This is my first post and i actualy registered just for that.

I live in Poland, and on shelfs at 27.07.10 there will be a polish version, with polish txt and voices.
Do you guys think it will be possible to change language after instalation to eng? Will it be multi5 or whatever it is called?
Or should i just download this client for eng eu, go buy polish version for cd-key, and install digital download client with it ?

P.S. I would ask on battle.net forums, but even tho im playing on beta and got a wow account for ages... somehow i just cant, no clue why. Just not able to login :/
wtf?

I think you will be able to download the English version and use the CD key from the Polish DVD.
And forgive me nothing for I truly meant it all

But how will I show the box to all my friends? That's really the problem with all games I can just download then activate or whatever, I can't show off the booklets and stuff that come with it.

Also, I hope there's a strategy booklet =)

I actually wonder if this is really working. Because it clearly says:" if you intend to buy a BOXED copy this is not for you."
So my question: I cant download this and activate it later with my boxed version code ?
Can anyone even know if it will work i wonder

yes, you can download and activate with your retail copy. It even hints at this in the FAQ.

** I clicked SKIP instead of ACTIVATE – is that bad?
That’s OK, just click this link and log in.

ok that's fucking awesome, I was worried they'd delay the online upgrade.

I'm buying it this way.

Downloading now. Got no time to go out hunting it on the 27th, so this is convenient.

The top of the page states "If you are planning to buy a boxed copy from a retail store, this is not for you!", so going by that it won't work. But they might be lying to conserve bandwidth.

I also think they are just trying to save some traffic on their servers (altho they use BT) by stating that it's not for ppl who are purchasing the boxed version.
I can't really imagine that the installer of the "digital version" you download from bnet, and the one on the retail dvd will be too different, if any different at all, since with the leaked copy of the retail CE couple days ago (topic_id=133892), there were also screenshots floating around on the web, which showed the exact same error screen (it's not the 27th yet), when trying to install - i.e. the boxed retail needs most probably the same authentication files from the blizzard servers, and likely uses the same installer. (someone with the leaked image + the digital download version, should be able to verify this easily, I guess)
You then just need a bnet account which has a valid license merged with it (which you get by either entering a key or buying an activation online, as suggested here). I'd be surprised if there's more to this.
