I'm going to a launch day event and picking up a physical copy of the game. It's fun and social but about half an hour after that again, I'll be at home and I'd really like to avoid spending an hour just installing the game and getting the latest patches.
Anyone know if the early download will be only for those who preordered through Blizzard or all players? Or if you can at least get an early download of the patches?

Here is your answer. Early Install
We will be unlocking the game's installer at 8:01 a.m. PDT on May 14. This will allow you to begin installing the game, troubleshoot any issues you run into, download and install the launch day 1.0.1 patch, and be ready to play as soon as the servers come online.
yeah, and the digitial download is the same as the CE (file wise) so you can just install that (the digital version) and then just plug in your CD key and g2g
Note: two posts above me does have all the links HOWEVER the us link is wrong, change the 'eu' to 'us' in the front. (to download from the us servers for faster download)
Just download it, not hard to get the official link, and install it early. You usually don't need the cd-key for that for Blizzard games. You can't log to the servers anyway...
I think the downloaded version will require a license on Bnet (key) to unencrypt and install. My key is already there (AP/Digital), so I'll be able to install on the 14th, and log in and play at 12:01 AM PDT on the 15th.

negative. You dont have a place to put your login info before it installs ^_~
Yeah, I downloaded mine about a week ago.
It just won't install, a message pops up stating something about the gate of hell aren't open yet, or something. Can't remember that well. I'm glad to know I can install the game the morning of the 14th and be able to play it immediately at midnight. Can't wait.
Anyone can install the game once the decryption key is released.
Nobody can play the game until you have the key on your battle.net account.
Simple as that.
Well, the download client became available weeks ago, and according to the latest blue post, you can start installing on Monday the 14th. Only thing you'll need to do then is get a registration key, and wait until 12:01 for the servers to open.

Ahh, awesome. I thought download started only a few hours before the release. Which made no sense.
Which is pretty much exactly what I said.
