My DVD drive isn't reading the disc. I just tested Call of Duty 4 and it isn't reading that either. I've waited all this time to get stopped by a malfunctioning DVD drive. :cry:

try inserting your key into battle.net and see if it will let you download an installer

Anyone know where the Blizzard downloader puts the torrent file that it uses to download the game? I don't need my download drowned out by my upload, especially with my uber speed upgrade recently - and the billions of people who will be downloading off me :D

You have never seen the "What's your game?" WoW adverts?

I'm excited about getting this! I'm tempted to try and get it at midnight, but I won't be able to play tomorrow until the evening...

How is the digital download DRM going to work? Does anyone know?

Sorry, I should say non-MMO computer games. I don't classify MMO in there because they have a much more viable revenue model in the computer market.

You need an extractor for the torrent file.

Ah, thanks for the link.

Figured it'd just be a simple matter of the torrent being in a folder, but I guess Blizzard doesn't like that idea :|

*Edit*

Doesn't seem to work with the SC2 downloader, at least not that I can see. Bummer.

I'm already downloading the game from here. You don't need a key to download it.

Disable peer-to-peer transfer in the Blizzard Downloader preferences. I'm getting much better speeds (1.1 MB/s vs. 10-200 KB/s). Plus, I'm not uploading anything at all. As for where the game is saved, that's up to you. It asks you where to save it before you start the download.

Gotta love last minute problems. Funny thing is, my DVD Drive has been shot for the last 3 years lol. **** me if tomorrow I pop my dvd in and it doesnt work.

Its shot, because I chose Lite On for my DVD Drive. Big mistake. first 6 months i used it and made copies of linux distros, windows etc etc etc, motor went out. Now it whines anytime, and especially with a disc in. Hits full speeds and whines bad. Ive already had to pull it out once because it broke one of my discs.

Oh well, we will see tomorrow.

Btw, **** YOU ALL WHO HAVE THE POSTER AND THE GAME! ALL OF YOU!

I get no poster or ****!

Oh well, i get collectors, hopefully that in itself is awesome :)

Actually I get better speeds with P2P enabled. It's just the upload kicks my HDD's butt for some reason, and while it's not really lagging me out in anything, I'd rather not be uploading at 1.2 mb/sec :|

Just 2... more... hours....

Yeah I got about 2 hours left also, not to bad I suppose. I can wait.

Plus, this is only a 7 HOUR trial for starters. My friend bought it at midnight and popped on Steam and gave me 2 keys for 2 7 hour trials (if it's like WoW you can use both on the same battle.net account - hopefully). Not sure if this is all worth it for 7 hours of playtime heh.

What in the... what connection do you have? Seriously, 1.2 MB/s for uploading is damn near insane. :|

Oh god. 7 gigs. Just to think, beta was 2 lol.

i feel bad for you anaron. Hopefully disc installs for me.

Btw, go get a new dvd drive :p

The actual installation takes up about 12 GB, I think. As for me, I'm having way too much bad luck. I didn't get the CE, I didn't get any swag, and my damn DVD drive isn't working properly. I just hope my Internet connection doesn't die on me while the download is running.

Anyway, I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully the game will be fully downloaded by the time I wake up.

I offered to get you a ce... :whistles:

Oh well, TIME FOR 8AM, IM GOING TO BED.

goodnight peoples!

60 euros for the digital version? **** you!

It's called "Activision Pricing Model".

It's also the recommended price on the boxed version, but I'd guess distributors get huge rebates when buying so the store prices are a lot lower. The boxed version does cost ?60 on Blizzard's Store though.

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
