But yes, you guys will get it first then in waves over the world as it hits 12:01. But since Bliz is US based I'm pretty sure they will light the servers up around 8-10pm EST.
No we will not. Well I mean no we will not be able to play before the US. We will have the game before US tho. Depending on your specific location in Aus, you will be able to play at approximately 5 pm, not midnight. With the WoW expansions we could get the game before the US but all the content was made available at midnight US time, which is the afternoon for us.
SC2 gave users the possibility to download the game one week before the game was released, but the installer was locked and it would only unlock in the international release date (which happened to be the 10:00 PDT, I think).
I don't expect anything different for D3, so you could possibly have access to the game, just like anyone else in the world, but would only be able to install it when the time was right for everyone else in the world.
Oh I can't believe I hadn't thought of this! That's great to know that we can start playing from around 5pm. Now I don't need to try and screw up my entire sleeping pattern for a midnight playtime.

Yup, works out perfect for us ;). Because your in Syd it will most likely be 6 or 7 pm depending on daylight savings. Its 4 pm for me in the west.
Totally speculating here but its pretty easy to change proxy settings to trick yourself into appearing in another country (at least it was/is with BF3, which has been release in the US but not in AUS yet and a few of my friends have unlocked it and are playing currently is AUS. I personally haven't so can't comment any further), with that being said, and assuming we can pre-download, I would speculate that it will be a global midnight release Irvine, CA time. I might be totally wrong.... but hey

Nah the region you can play in depends on the game region you bought it for, so its not IP based or anything like that. Eg if you buy the EU version, even if you logon in the US you can only play on the EU servers.

Wrong, we will get access to both SEA and US servers.
So we can pick US or SEA. I'm going US for sure, hated SEA for SC2, not even going to bother with it for D3.

Actually everyone can play on different servers. See video
