Not small, but worth it.

lol jk 7.3GB

the download file is only 7gb 0.o, dammit I wont have enough space on my SSD :(.

lol got me big time.

So is the final game 30gb, 15gb or 7gb? beta was 4gb...

IF its 30 i bought a new monitor instead of another SSD...

"The time is nearly upon us to take up arms and defend the realm of Sanctuary from the demonic hordes, but as any Demon Hunter knows, the essence of combat is preparation, and knowing is half the battle. Dick Smith will ship your copy of Diablo III on Monday 14th. Heroic adventurers hailing from metropolitan areas should receive their copy on release day (Tuesday 15th). Other areas may vary."

Hoping it arrives before 5pm :)

I'm guessing the 15gb is the extracted amount of data.

Guess i'll have to uninstall SWTOR, theres no way i'll ever play that with D3 installed on the same system.

Why? 2tb HDDs are about $150.

a) a bug is found to get valuble items, in a faster \ more repeatable method than the designers intended.

b) people exploit the above bug to make a lot of gold on the RMAH and send that to paypal.

what usto be game exploiting suddenly looks a lot more like fraud.

Although different games, wow has had plenty of bugs where people were able to keep getting loot and sell it at a proffit by abusing game mechanics, its one of the more common bugs, but now people will be making real world cash .

just because blizzard are deciding to cash in and get a piece of the pie themselves with the RMAH doesn't mean this sort of thing hasn't already been going on in MMOs since the dawn of time :rolleyes:

i have yet to find an MMO that you can't sell/buy credits/items for real money. If anything blizzard are going to care less about gold and item buyers/sellers using nefarious means since they are getting a cut.
