Can you gift a pre-order to a friend on battle.net? Or do I have to buy from a 3rd party?
If I do buy it from a 3rd party do they get the code today to pre-load or do they have to wait until release date?

Holy shit that's a compressed build of the game.
Just buy them a blizzard gift card or something.

Anyone know if the physical edition is just going to be a voucher code to download?
Yea, its a code inside the box like most PC Physical editions

So am I correct in that this game isn't launching at midnight (Monday night/Tues morning) and instead is going to be available to play at 12 PM Noon Central Time on Tuesday?
I hope I misread that.

No preload without a key unfortunately.
Some people are saying they are able to preload without a key. Might be if they had the beta, it automatically updates to full version.

just have to wait on GMG to send my key
same
Yeah, this is my experience. I had the beta, my key will not come from Amazon until the 23rd, but the game seems to be downloading the full game now.

Humble Bundle will receive keys "soon". Whatever that means. They are also supposed to have an announcement for pre-orders soon too.

People that had the beta installed on mechanical (7,200 RPM) HDDs, how were the loading times?

If you're going to play it every day, put it on an SSD. If you're going to play it occasionally, put it on your HDD.

Why's that?
Nah you cant gift on battle.net
You can, just not with this game it seems
Yeah, it seems like that's whats happening for me. It's updating my beta version I still had installed.
Good for me, my retail copy won't arrive till launch at the earliest. I'm expecting it to arrive late, to be honest.

You can't gift games that are still available to preorder. It's really stupid.

SSD = Better load times, but usually smaller sizes. Ergo, if you don't play it often, why waste valuable space?
At least they're aware of it. Can't wait.
New policy for Humble Bundle:
You have to wait for the IGN review, click on the link emailed to you, scroll to the bottom and hit "I Agree" which provides you your key, counts as an endorsement of their review score and is aggregated to meta critic, and serves as consent to use your personal info for marketing and research purposes.

You'll be playing with other people. What are the chances everyone has the game on SSD? I'd say very slim.
Stick with the HDD.

How big of a difference does an SSD make for this game?
I could have installed on my SSD but over time with all the patches, updates, and DLC it might have started to take up too much space so I just opted for my regular drive.
Battle.net doesn't compress downloads. The download size reported in the client is also the install size.

68GB is probably allocating DLC too. First game had a 40 odd GB requirement but was around 18 at launch.

This is it. I played in the beta, haven't pre-ordered or anything (I'm not even sure yet I want the game,) but it started the 28GB pre-load when I turned on my computer this morning.

I haven't pre-ordered yet, but I still had the beta installed and now it's updating.
I'm kind of torn. I'm really looking forward to playing on PC, but I'm not looking forward to replaying all of the story missions AGAIN. >.>
It's a damn shame they didn't figure out a way to implement cross-save (or perhaps, they didn't care to).
