Just a question... if i do the preorder then i only get the digital copy right (on day of release)? But what if i want to get the collectors and still play on day of release? Anybody know?
Most stores will do midnight releases. If you are unsure call the store you plan on pre ordering from and ask. If they aren't then try a different store/retailer. There will be a very small time advantage to digital download people than box people depending on what time the servers go up. In my opinion it's not worth digital downloading just to play 30 minutes faster. Two days later there will be no difference and you may regret not having a box if you wanted one. Especially a collectors edition.
Now if you're having it shipped to your house from Amazon or something that may not come in till Tuesday afternoon where servers have been live for 12+ hours.
If you can afford the CE it's absolutely the choice IMHO, so much awesome stuff in it. You can get the pre-order digital copy and have it ready to go, then all you need to do is get your box home at midnight and attach it to your account, you lost at most an hour or so, so I'd say go for it.
I bought WoW Annual Pass, but I want the CE so I pre-ordered with priority overnight shipping. I'll be playing as soon as the servers go live, but when I get my CE I'll be able to upgrade my account to CE at that time as well.
And then my WoW account will sit there and soak $15/mo. for nothing while I stay completely glued to D3. Mwahahahaha!
I'll just get the digital version. I'm not much of a collectioner and like every boxes and CE stuff it would end up in a drawer somewhere after the initial 2 weeks after acquiring it.
