I am looking at installing the starter version of Diablo 3 from battlenet.
And i'm also looking at buying the hard copy (CD) very shortly.
I've done some research into this through the official Blizz forums and as far as i can see, once i've installed the cd version i jump onto battlenet account and upgrade my starter edition with cd key from cd version just bought?
So, I've got the starter edition installed, do i install the cd version as well?
I assume the cd version has missing files that the starter edition doesn't?
I don't quiete understand this process, as some of the answers given from the forums suggest some people had installed the cd version whilst starter edition was installed, while some others never mentioned this and just said they upgraded the starter edtion with cd key on battlenet and no need to install cd version?
K, so pretty much
Starter edition files = Full game files
Once you have done downloaded the starter version and your ready to buy the full version (Ether digital or Physical) you will get a CD key. Stick that in on your Battle.net account and you will be ready to go. There are some reports of this taking like 30 min or so but I'd imagine it would be fixed by now.
TL:DR: Your CD's are paperweights.
Aha, thanks a million for your help.
Was just confusing me, some of the replies on the official forums.
Re the cd paperweights, unfortunately i'm going to have to go that way because blizzard is $18 more expensive than the games shop i am getting cd version from:(
