It's great fun! Only tried the monk and the demon hunter so far. Monk is by far my favourite.

This has made me want to buy the full game.

Anyone know if there's and pre-order deals going on anywhere?

JB, EB and GAME seem to have it only by itself. Maybe I've missed out on the deals. Oh well.

It's not the destination, but the journey you take to get there that matters.

I lol'd at the amount of people complaining and whining about the fact that the server is unstable, drops out alot and that they cannot login.

It's an OPEN BETA STRESS TEST FFS! READ!!

Blizzard even wrote that server overload is EXPECTED.
