You can upgrade the digital version to the CE, but I don't think you get your money back or anything like that. You would just be adding the extras from the CE to your Digital purchase pretty much.
People with the annual pass from wow get like 3 or 4 months removed off there year long contract when they add the CE on to there free digital download though but as far as I know nothing like that for normal purchases.
Ugh, thats a pretty terrible way of handling it. I would like it but I already purchased the Digital version. Should at least let you buy the CE, upgrade, and apply some of the money you spent on the Digital version to WoW playtime or something, but Im not going to spend an extra $100 if none of the digital cost is given back in any form. Ill just live without it.

Register the code that comes with the CE to your battle.net account that has the digital version purchased. Should automatically change your game liscense to CE and give you the in game CE extras.
Call Blizzard and see if you can cancel your digital purchase. Then simply buy the CE. I don't see why you couldn't.

Then you can't play at midnight.
You can still make another battle.net account for multiboxing or extra slot inventory
I'm joking but I think the 60$ at one point will be gain back with a clever use of the RMAH...
I'm not sure about that... They told you the collector box is out of stock but at every new blizzard's game, I found a CE in a store before the launch day...
Wait I thought upgrading the annual pass to the CE version gave you 3-4 extra months of played time on my account.
Does this mean if I buy the CE version I can get out of my annual pass early?

as far as I know it simply takes the 3 or 4 months off the amount of time you are locked into paying for wow. That's the impression I got when it was announced at blizzcon at least.
edit : If you choose to add your Collector's Edition license key to the Battle.net account associated with your World of Warcraft Annual Pass promotion, you will receive all of the benefits of the Collector's Edition. Additionally, you will receive four months of World of Warcraft game time, which will count towards your 12 month subscription commitment for the Annual Pass.
That's an excerpt from the annual pass faq which makes it a little cleared then what I said.

Is it bad that I desperately want to just skip the next 15 or so days and everything that may happen within them so I can just play diablo 3 already?
Man the cutscenes in this game are going to blow minds.

The working theory is that it's Leah - but I hope not - perhaps Adria...

Titan Quest is alright. I'm sort of playing through it right now, currently in Athens, but I just can't get invested in it so close to Diablo 3's release.
My brain is wired to keep clicking the mouse button. Wouldn't mind having an advantage for that.
TQ really picks up after athens. Make sure you have IT installed.
holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeet

Lost to Diablo. His evil knows no bounds.
I really hope we get some large scale bosses. A shame that crazy Siege-beast ripping heads off is not in there in its intended form.
Nice.
My friend I have good news - 15 days and 1h:40m left

Kind of, you still have to go to a store and buy a physical CE but you can then upgrade your Digital purchase to include the in game CE goodies.
Not super viable for non annual pass users though since you end up paying for a CE and a normal digital copy as opposed to upgrading a free copy to a CE copy.

Sometimes you can find extra CE in the store even when they are sold out, but with blizzard games its usually a good idea to preorder very early on since the goodies can generally be turned for a nice profit online. Think blizzard CEs are always sold out well before launch around here for all there recent stuff.
Yeah I know. Was waiting to get into the CB to see the latency effect before I pre-ordered. Now I've gone and missed them. Oh well :<

God Damn that was awesome.
I'm going to bootcamp my Mac to try and squeeze some more horsepower out of it (Mid 2010 MBP) and run the Windows client to see if it's any better. I heard that the final build runs much better on Mac's, and Beta patch 16 has known problems. Open beta ran better than I thought it would though.

Wonder if it will be worth it to spend gold and items on crafting or just saving up for items from the auction house.
Good news would be 1h:40m left. 15 days are 15 days too many.
If you can live without absolutely top spec gear, crafting is the way to go (at the lower levels anyway). I've made somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty to fifty Flamberge's so far since the last reset, and I've only come across a handful of Flamberge's worth selling (generally 19.2-21 or so DPS). I got a ton in the 18-19 range though, so extrapolating, if you can live with gear that isn't the absolute best, the cost to craft it should be reasonable compared to trying to buy it in the auction house. Edit: I realized that I didn't explain this well. What I mean is that it shouldn't take very many attempts to get a weapon/armor/etc that is usable. You won't get the top stat stuff, but it should be good enough until later modes. Also, it shouldn't take any more resources than you should be generating just playing the game.
Then again, if the item turns out to be two bucks in the RMAH, it may be worth it to just buy it and get it over with.
Generally speaking, I plan to equip my character with whatever I find, and only go to the RMAH with funds made from selling other items in the RMAH. I really don't want to put any additional money into it.
My friend and I made a pact not to spend any real money on the auction house in our coop run.
You make it sound that it would be better to save gold and buy better items off the auction house. Unless all the decent items will be sold for real money. (Which makes sense, I guess)
Either way, I always enjoyed the hunt in Diablo 2 and I don't see it being any different in D3.
