OMG - no chance am I decorating now

edit: anyone know the full size of the download? at work but first file is 44mb, then I guess it installs/dls the rest, any idea of size?

Is this open beta literally open for everyone? Or only preorders?

Anyone with a battlenet account it says.

Downloading

I have been playing the Beta for a couple of months.
If I remember correctly, the full download is about 2.5 - 3Gb

awesome thanks, shouldn't take too long then.

 

[ChrisJSY]

4.82GB for my previous beta account, don't think this will be any different.

Will hopefully get to test my my new mouse out fully when it's released, been playing a lot of pad heavy games recently

 

[Evilsod]

Its a shame its not till tonight but at least its downloaded I guess.

 

[platypus]

Christ and ****** bloody typical. I'm on call the week this is released.

 

[Basill]

Download is 3.8 GB or there about and the speed does not seem to be very consistent, but i guess that might have something to do with a ton of people getting it now...

 

[Xire]

FYI - that massive online supermarket "Every little helps" are doing this for £27 with discount code GAMES5 + using quidco makes it around £26

 

[bhavv]

My update setup files is getting stuck at around 2/3, is there any solution to this?

 

[Mirage]

This must be a ploy to directly compete with the TERA open beta right?

I had my weekend planned and everything! Think I'll spend this weekend playing TERA as I'll definitely be buying D3 anyway.

Well i be damned, soon as it started to download and update the beta client my Virgin Super Hub started doing the reboot cycle just like with WoW. Not a big fan of diablo tbh but i think theres gonna be a lot of upset people over this

I thought someone might have noticed this in beta, its not the actual game but the Hub needs a update to stop it happening, i think they been waiting over a year on the virgin forums so not gonna hold my breath

I get the same problem. Fortunately it's only the launcher not the actual game. Damned annoying still.
