I hope you didn't pay £100. I've never seen it that price.
I've had bigger price differences honoured from places like amazon. If they decide to cancel orders and bump the price up, I'll go elsewhere, it won't be the end of the world exactly....
Was this direct from Blizzard please?

The StarCraft II CE was indeed £59.99. Just checked my Amazon order to confirm
Cool! I thought so I can't find my Amazon e-mail
Thanks mate
If I remember it wasn't too much more than the normal edition RRP which was £40-45 Love the dog tags, they are so cool!

Didn't pay anything as I'm not into starcraft, however I do have a vague recollection of walking into GAME and being told some obnoxiously high price when it was first launched (then again, that may be because the cheeky git knew the copy was pre-ordered but possibly tried to pull a fast one by selling it to me at an increased price...didn't work
). Still waiting for it to show up at the rainforest place though, as I'm saving up vouchers for that precise reason.
Bah! I want Amazon to start selling it!
EDIT: I sent Amazon an email asking them if/when they planned to make it available for order. I'll post again once they reply.
EDIT AGAIN: Bah! Useless! I asked them when the Collectors Edition would be available for pre-order, they replied telling me they had no way of knowing when Diablo 3 would be released but I should just go ahead and pre-order it and they would notify me nearer the time with a dispatch date.
Totally NOT what I asked! >,<

I have been in the Beta for a couple of weeks now, between Skyrim and MW3 I haven't had a load of time with it but impressions so far (after the latest patch):
1. It needs optimising. I can run Skyrim on high at stable fps but D3 lags a little too often, also the netcode is still a bit shakey, my gf was web browsing last night and my bar went to yellow and it was lagging far too much, I could play WoW without a hitch while she streamed from iPlayer before now. I assume the servers for the beta are US based maybe.
2. The demon Hunter still needs work, even with the new system they just feel gimped at low levels compared to the rest. Hungering Arrow needs to do more damage or impale spend less hatred imho.
3. Mele Wizards are great.
4. The barb will be the most fun to play imho, sending zombies flying never gets old.
All in all though, it feels like Diablo, which is awesome.

Tried disabling Peer-to-Peer in the preferences? Should speed things up.
Servers are in america for D3 beta, wow servers are eu - That would explain a lot. Maybe your mistaking gfx lag with network lag? What feedback did you get when you posted this up on the beta forum?

Ordered a week or so ago on amazon.com. $99.99+$25 handling+$25 import tax... $150. My other half buying it for me though so all is good. Roughly £100.
The good news also is that it is region free... Check the following interview with Blizz Diablo main man

I actually gave out a small gasp when I saw the boxes for this in a popular high street gaming shop, so, so close and yet still feels so far .
Glad to hear from comments made so far that it still feels like a Diablo game, actually cannot wait for this.
