    Yes thats right, you download the installer. Then tomorrow at 4pm (I think) you can install it and patch, enter your code (if you can't already?) and then at 11pm you can log in and play (provided the servers work ;))

    Wow ok thanks :) so how come the installer wasn't available before? cause i didnt see it and its 5:01 cst so i guess that is 4:01 pm our time :)

    Royal Mail, do not let me down :D

    Do you have physical or digital copy? And you need to wait till 4:01 pm UK time to install

    Hey thanks! I went on the Battle Net website and found it out...

    They could have put it on the site when you try to install. And I have a physical copy of the game!

    Not long now, though!

    Awesome news! If anyone fancies playing tonight, or any time, we should have a DS get together!

    Cant install either, guess there are a few gremlins to be expected.

    Someone gave me a starter pass on reddit.com, there are a couple of big threads about guest passes and people who have received their games are giving them out, but its a lottery really as obviously lots of people asking for them.

    main thread:
    http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/tjghz/have_guest_passes_to_give_away_need_a_guest_pass/

    another thread:
    http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/tm6zf/game_comes_with_guest_pass_anyone_need_them/

    edit: THIS was the thread I got given one on http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/tm89c/guest_pass_exchange_two_to_give_away_other/

    lol there are quite a few >.<
    good luck

    You can install the game now. Royal Mail has Screwed me :(

    And when i get the guest pass, what do i do with it? Do i put in the code on battle net and the installer i already downloaded becomes a trial till i get my copy?

    Basically can i use the installer i already had? Thanks

    Well activation is required to play yes, but you can still install and patch it, try those threads on reddit and you may get given a guest pass. I think all SEs come with 2 and CEs come with 3 so there should be people with them just sitting in the box. After 30 days they are useless as starter edition is open to all anyway so most people are giving theirs out now ^^

    yes you just put the code in on battlenet as if you were adding a game. It comes up with starter edition and two links either to upgrade or buy the digital version. The client is the same for everyone, just when you log in your bnet account will realise its a starter edition and so you can play to lvl 13 only, only talk to other starter editions etc

    LOl thanks, it went to my email and not in the DS message.

    My Id: FlyStarJay#2497

    For those who wants to be in the game on time, start it up cause the cutscene is long and cant be skipped on the 1st try. Also in the news section where you log in, its saying open beta has closed. is anyone else having that?

    yeah i'll give it a little go at 11, sit reading a book and trying to log in periodically if its bad, but will probably just end up going to bed and waking up at 4, usually wake up around 5.30 anyway so i expect as soon as i open my eyes tomorrow i'll think...diablo....:D
