A post over in the Diablo II/III thread details updates to Battlenet.

Basically it sounds like Steam, with more emphasis on gameplay/achievements versus a storefront.

Do we know the system requirements for this game yet? I imagine I'll need a new video card.

Redoing thread now-like.

chaching, go internets

I'm not liking the "always connected" aspect of Battlenet. Does that mean I can't play single player campaign offline? I can foresee times I won't have a 'Net connection and yet I still want to play.

It's very likely related to Steam's offline mode, where you tell Battle.net you're going offline but want to be able to play, so you put BNet in "Offline mode".

There's NO WAY they'd disable SP just because you had no internet.

I dunno, with EA's DLC DRM, you can't play your game if it's enabled for that particular save and not connected to the Internet. But I do hope that there is an offline mode regardless.

Hope?

If I am to purchase this...it better have it.

No proper specs yet, but we now have a loose idea thanks to the beta:

• Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
• 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
• 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
• 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
• 1024x768 minimum display resolution
• 4 GB free hard space (Beta)

It's the end of the world!!!

If you were selected or had a beta code to play. You have to log into battle.net and it will appear in your manage games. Demo is 1.64gigs.

Damn, no key here. I gotta ask a co-worker here who's friends with some of the higher ups at Blizzard to see if he can score a key for me.

No key, running XP SP2 on my Windoze partition anyway. Dammit.

Where's the MAC specs? Not that big a deal, since I'm boot camping, but just curious...

I'm Boot Camping too, and I haven't seen any Mac specs yet. It seems like the beta is just for the Windows version...?

Not too worried, though... still running Tiger but if that won't work, I had been contemplating an upgrade to Snow Leopard for awhile now, so it wouldn't be a dealbreaker or anything. Totally not concerned about the hardware specs considering the PC ones given.

Just fyi for those of you waiting, even us people with the blizzcon 08 keys havent gotten anythign yet

Just got the email Downloading it right now. Anybody else get in? I barely remember signing up for this thing.
