Just be like every normal mac user and set up a copy of windows 7 through bootcamp for your gaming needs. With intel chips on macs these days there is really no need for a mac port. But regarding the digital download, after waiting 10 years for diablo 3 I NEED to own the box. Downloading it would seem like such an anti-climax as opposed to carefully unpacking the box

Am I missing something here? Why would MAC users be required to or opt to do this? Isn't it being released for mac as well? Please don't flame me im honestly confused.
They are not required to... I am just stating that most of the mac users that I know ( myself included) bootcamp win7 for gaming. A lot of the niche gaming utilities and applications aren't available on mac so it just makes sense to game under win7. I don't want to start a mac vs pc thread, my day-job is actually cocoa development/engineering so I love my macs, just not for gaming
Pretty sure they'd just release it for digital download via their own site.
Yeah, I think Blizzard will have their own digital download on Battle.net. They did this for Starcraft 2 for both Mac and PC. (When you buy, you get access to both Mac and PC clients and can freely download them anytime.)
While I highly doubt Blizzard will have a Mac store download for D3, I can assure you (As Daemaro mentioned) Blizzard will have a Digital Download available for both Mac, and PC out at the same time. It will likely also be the fastest way to get in the game aside from premature releases from retailers which are sure to happen..

this is perfect...thanks guys for the input, i will download it the second it releases thats for sure
One thing to remember is that Apple takes a 30% cut of anything sold on the Mac App store. With that in mind, Blizzard would have to be out of their minds to offer that as an option when they have their own digital distribution platform in Battle.net 2.0.

so my question is, Bashiok do you have any information on if this can happen?
lol good luck!
As a fellow MAC user.....i dont care where i get the game from =)
Hell, If Bashiok were ever to read this I'd be willing to beta test a DH on a MAC (for a beta key) since everyone else is hating on them!

i have run win7 through bootcamp before and it actually runs better on a mac...
i just brought up the question bc i am one who doesnt really care about the box and i feel that digital download is actually the way to go
