For those of you who are on the fence of playing D3, there is a free starter edition for everyone to try out. It's much like a demo, you can play as long as you want but only up to a certain point in the story. Here's a blue post about it:


Diablo III Starter Edition provides players the ability to try out a limited version of Diablo III. Guest Pass keys allow a player to give friends the opportunity to play the Starter Edition of Diablo III. Guest Pass keys are included in all box copies of Diablo III.
Players on Starter Edition game licenses have the following restrictions:

-Act I up to the Skeleton King is available
-Level 13 cap
-Matchmaking available only with other Starter Edition players
-No Real Money Auction House access

How do I get the Diablo III Starter Edition?
Log into your Battle.net Account Management page and navigate to the Download Game Clients section. The Diablo III Starter Edition will be available for download there.
Players without a Battle.net account can create one, and then download the Starter Edition.
Note: The Diablo III Starter Edition will not be available without a Guest Pass until 30 days after the game launches.

How do I download the Diablo III Starter Edition?
Navigate to the Download Game Clients section of your Battle.net Account Management page and click the icon for your operating system under the Diablo III heading.

How do I upgrade from Starter Edition to the full version of Diablo III?
Log into Battle.net Account Management and select your copy of Diablo III Starter Edition on the Game Account list. On your Diablo III Starter Edition Game Management page, you will see your upgrade options on the right-hand side.


So if you've thought about getting it but don't want to shell out the $60 and not like it, try it free!

Oh I think I might have to give that a go.
I've been debating on whether or not to get it.
Gonna have nothing to do all next week during the day time, so this could be good. :P

Great! I forgot to mention that until 30 days after release, you need a guest pass, which is packaged with the retail game. I'd give you one but I got the digital version. Maybe some.nice people would offer their codes here :)
