"Online Only" sucks. No LAN and no mods make me a sad boy.
It sucks because Diablo 1 and 2 supported local play but if Diablo 3 were the first in the series I don't think anyone would be complaining.

I am super excited for this, but a little disappointed that Blizzard apparently doesn't understand exchange rates. The Australian dollar is currently worth (marginally) more than the US Dollar, and yet the game costs an extra $20 here. I don't understand how this is justifiable.
Disappointing graphics so far. This is what i think Diablo3 should look like these days, http://uiu.bravehost.com/THIS-is-what-Diablo3-should-look-li... Anything less and i´m not interested.
Diablo as an FPS could never be the same.

I'm not sure if you're having a rhetorical meow or just want to know what's going on here, so I'll offer an explanation. It's not about exchange rates and never ever will be. It's about purchasing power. It's just normal market segmentation, like how textbooks are cheaper in India/China than in the U.S. Whats the average purchasing power of an Australain versus an American? The Australian dollar is worth more than th…
Having the same price for every country inside the UE and not using the actual conversion rate hurts even more the people in countries where average wage is bellow US wages.
It wouldn't hurt them that much having different prices for different countries inside the UE, just make it so you need a credit card from the country to pay the price corresponding to that country.
(at least there is amazon.co.uk and I am a little happier)

While I'm very (very) excited for this game.. I'm very nervous about my productivity this summer. There are few things that can pull me away from coding. This is one of them. Maybe D3 will open some new startup opportunities? Yes.. yes that's what I'll tell myself. It's all research.
You could sell a game guide for D3, however Blizzard legal hates those. They've done stuff like file takedown notices with ebay, over and over. Then when the guy filed a counter notice, they refused to go to court, waited for the time period to expire, then started filing more takedowns for his new game guide auctions. This disgusting behavior got his ebay account suspended! And they refused to ever explain specifica…
It seems to me that usually these game companies have a publishing (as in, books) branch that manages the official guides. THEY'RE the ones who can't accept any competition, possibly due to their contracts with Prima/Brady (or whoever).

Is it the box with air in it, only? Which is ridiculous for a game which is only playable with a net connection.
And the battle.net site suggests you can buy a digital copy. If so, why can'y you buy the digital copy? What prevents you from?

The prices in general are quite strange. amazon.de has it for 55€ and .co.uk wants just 33 pounds. While Blizzard itself charges full retail prices...
