I went to a EBGames(Gamestop) last summer(at the start of june) to buy an Xbox360 game, and the salesman offered me to pre-order Diablo3. I laughed a bit at him, saying "Shouldn't you offer me a pre-order for SC2, since it'll be released a lot earlier than Diablo3?" and his answer was: "I wouldn't be that sure of it, Vivendi sent us a notice that D3 should be released in January or February 2010".
So, I only said no thanks, as I understood that this salesman was simply REALLY poorly informed. Anyone following D3 news even just a little bit would already know it if Vivendi sent a notice for a D3 release date, even if it's just an estimation.

Anyway, I told him that I'll take Diablo3 pre-order offers seriously only when Blizzard will announce Collector's Edition, and that I'll buy the Collector's.
We should'n't take any of these pre-orders seriously, except if you don't mind not being 100% sure to get your game... Of course it's "safe" but nobody knows what'll happen in this "at least" 1 year... I know it's not likely, but what if GameStop or the place where you pre-ordered it was to close because of financial problems, within the next year? Or if the list of pre-order is destroyed within this 1+ year?
I think it's really too early. Why would you pay that early for a game you'll only play in a year? To make sure to have the money when it's released? I'm sorry but there are a lot more(and safer) ways to make sure of that.

During Diablo3 Q&A saturday afternoon, someone asked the Diablo3 team a pretty interesting question :
Because, you know, I thought we killed him quite a few times, and destroyed his soulstone...
To this thoughtful question, a Blizzard representative answered, this most 'Blizzardful' answer :
That's it. Nothing else, next question.
So... My question is:
What do you think they mean, and how could Diablo not be in a Diablo game? Isn't it like Mario not being in a Mario game?

This post is mostly for the mods/admins.
I paid for the live BlizzCon stream and will watch it in high quality. But I know that a lot of people want to watch it and dont want(or can't) pay 40$ for it. My question is: I found some free streams who say that they'll be streaming BlizzCon2009 live. I can't tell if they'll really be working when BlizzCon starts, as for now they aren't started yet.
I want to know: If I see that some of them are working, is it against the Terms of Use of the forums to post a link, since these stream aren't really legal?
If I post them, will I(or will you) be in trouble?
Thanks!

You asked for more good points about it, but someone already answered you.
Overall :
- Faster
- Simple
- Modern(I mean, the first version is recent, so it's natively optimized for today's browsing, especially web applications like forums, online shops, etc. Not only an old one updated 232405times...)
- More room for content(the frame of the application is actually smaller than any other popular browser, without neglecting any feature)
- I LOVE the "Most visited websites" that you have on the starting page when you open it. Since I often go to the same sites days after days, it saves me a lot of time.
- Takes less ressources from your computer
- Updates automatically instead of taking hours through Windows Live Update(I'm only speaking about Internet Explorer here, FireFox update system is nice too)
- Googlish
- The address bar is awesome, while you're typing it does a search in your visited websites, and on google, and suggests you some addresses completion depending on what you visit the most often. I mean, I type "D" + Enter, and I'm on Diablofans.com, I type "bl" + enter and I'm on Blizzblues.com, "fa" + enter and I'm on facebook, etc...
So, most people really dont care about some points here, but I really like it actually. A big part of my RL job concerns browsing, and when they released this browser, I automatically adopted it, and I'm not going back to another browser for anything.(Except Battlefield Heroes, since they didn't take the time making the game client compatible with Chrome, only Firefox and IE, but it really isn't that bad:D)

I tried with Mozilla Firefox 3.5, Google Chrome 4.0, and Internet Explorer 8.0, and there's only on IE that it seems a bit heavier when I scroll down, but it's running well and without a bit of lag in both Chrome and Firefox.

I don't know which browser you're using, but if I was you I'd try if it does the same on the another one.
And I agree about the white background around the Quick reply, it hurts! haha

Anyway, welcome on DiabloFans, an enjoy the flood of infos we'll have tomorrow, at BlizzCon!

The only "cons" I'd say, is that the width of the content frame doesn't adjust anymore with the screen resolution, that's a point that I really loved from the old design, but it really isn't important, just a personal opinion.
Good job, keep it going! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the insider, mockery. I wish you a lot of fun, and a lot of time on the booths tomorrow! Good luck!
And to Seth: Don't worry, I can't wait either!

Yeah, I went back on the post to see if I missed something, but he only said to come on Diablofans at the appropriate time, so I was almost worried
Good to know it's the same as last year. It's the first year that I actually care about Diablo for Blizzcon, so I haven't seen it last year.
