I have seen several reports from different people who have the WoW Annual pass, and so, already have a Digital Retail version of Diablo 3 ascociated with their bnet account, who have gotten errors when trying to upgrade thier account to the CE.
I am in that situation (Have the Annual Pass and Digital Retail) and plan to upgrade my account at about 12:20 when I get home on release night - thats gives me 2 1/2ish hours to get it upgraded Should be plenty of time!
My question is, has there been any confirmation if this is an actual bug yet? Are folks with the Annual pass going to all get errors when trying to upgrade? Or were these repors I read just annomolies?
I did some searching, here and on the bnet forums, and couldn't find anything, but thought if you are in this camp, WoW Annual pass holders planning to upgrade to CE, and have some problems, post here so we can all know!
(After I saw a 4th different person say the same thing, I started to get worried!)

I have this problem, opened a ticket and just got this response:
..bugged spells, errors, hacked, frustration...by your combined power I'm Game Master Sadoryann, solving ingame problems since 2008. It seems that you are offline, sooo here is my explanation/solution to your problem:
Hey there (My name), had a look into this Diablo 3 problem of yours. And if you have the active Annual Pass on your Battle.net account then you will get the D3 automaticly free of charge attached to your account, you can do the pre-download via this site anytime:
There might be an option to update your D3 when the game launches to that of the Collectors Edition that you received but this can only happen after the launch itself
I hope this explains it a bit more.
Have a nice day.
Regards, Game Master Sadoryann English Game Master Team Blizzard Europe
That was exactly what I was hoping to get as a response, someone who had already gotten the error, and got an answer!
I guess we wait untill after launch and it should work - again thank you for letting me sleep a bit easier tonight (Sleep for the last time before D3 that is!! Wahoo!! Finaly!)
If anyone finds any information about when we can add the CE to an account with annual pass or anymore information about the topic please share. It coud be just after launch, but my guess is that blizzard needs to activate something for it to work. And i am really looking forward to spread my wings!

Yeah, if anyone hears any more info regarding this situation, please post something here. I have the Annual Pass DIII, but I'm also getting the CE.
I'd also like to know if you get any money/free copy of the game when you do that upgrade. I don't expect it, but it would be pretty awesome to give/sell the extra copy to a friend!
If you're on the Annual Pass Diablo III and upgrade to the Collector's Edition you get 4 months of WoW time added to your subscription. Non-negotiable.
If you bought Diablo III, applied it to your account, then upgraded to the Collector's Edition, you can contact Blizzard's Customer Support, and in most cases they will refund you a Standard Edition DIII key that you can do whatever you want with.

I was more replying to the above group of people who were wondering what happens if you overwrite one version with another.
As far as I know, your question was answered as best we know so far by your customer service ticket.
What if you've already paid for the year (i did the 6 months twice and have paid for the full year) then will it let me give a retail key to a friend?
That will not happen, that only if you buy the standard edition online, and its not even in all thoose cases.
Im pretty certain, but still guessing that you will just get another four months in your subscription without paying for them. You shoud write a ticket asking, i might be wrong.
How can i open a ticket? Log into wow? My buddy wants to play tonight as do i but he doesnt have the money so i was gonna use 1 of my collector editions and give him my free copy.

They will not give you a Standard Edition key if you have the Annual Pass version of Diablo III. Don't even bother asking. They will only refund you a key if you purchased a Standard Edition and upgraded to the Collector's Edition.

#D3Collector's Edition, please try again later this evening. Thanks.#D3launchHappy news for all of us
The way it works is that the next 4 months of your 1 year subscribtion will go by without you paying for them, after that you start paying again.
That will not happen, that only if you buy the standard edition online, and its not even in all thoose cases.
