If I buy D3 as a digital download, do I get to play it sooner than if I bought the hard box copy upon initial release? Cause that hard box copy looks super sweet.. But I wouldn't like to miss out on even 1 day to start playing!
I'm guessing you will be able to download it before release but wont be able to log on?

We have lots and lots of threads on this, please use the search.
If is like past games, you can download it and get it on your computer, you wont be able to "play" until servers are up. when that is, we DONT know.
Digital copies are modern, you can't lose them nor can they get damaged.
Once you enter your CDkey to your Battle.net account that doesn't really matter since from then on it functions exactly like a digital copy. If you lose the disks etc you can still just download the game and view your cdkeys :). Evolution!
I think a better question to this is, Do you want the booklet and all the other goodies inside that terrific box or would you give all that up for a quick and easy download before servers are up?
I'll probably pre-order 2 copies, one digital and one physical. I want to play 12:01am the day it is released, if I'm not working. And I will probably take 2 days off for the game anyways

Haha, probably doing the same. Collectors edition is a must, but I might go for a digital as well.

There's something about the allure of a physical copy of the game, to actually own the disc. And like you said there will the things inside the box that make me feel awesome for paying X amount of dollars more lol.
If I remember SC2, people could not buy the digital version until 10am the next morning. Everyone that went to midnight releases could play as soon as they got home. I hope they do this again personally, you should be rewarded for standing in line in the freezing cold (December) for 4+ hours.
One thing you could do, to be playing ~20 mins faster was to pre load the game. With SC2 you could just do the pre load, get home with your hard copy, pop in the key and done. Its what I did for SC2 anyways.
Yep, I'll definitely get digital for sure. Thanks guys for your input. Maybe a boxed copy later... Have to wait and see, especially if there will be a collectors edition.

I could always frame the disk and have the box art made into a poster
