Put in my order on new egg, wonder when I will get it. How many copies do you think this game will sell? 500k? 1mil?

Sorry haha. I got excited when I saw Friday, April 20th. You can download the client right now in advance before the masses of Diablo fans tomorrow completely demolish the servers and slow the downloads to a crawl.
Be prepared for the server to go down or to have your connection disconnected. I have been playing tonight and gotten dc'd twice.
Oh well, it is a stress test in reality anyway. I just want to get some playing time in -- or Blizzard decides to the extend the public beta 'til release day. :grin:
Even the closed beta is scheduled to end May 1st. Still I look forward to testing out the different classes this weekend.
I think they do at some point, just not in beta. I'll have to look tonight and see what level that skill unlocks. They actually really nerfed them down, a couple of patches ago. They have a real cool ice/tornado type ability that wore mobs out. they moved it to level 38 and gave you an enhanced ice beam. No where near as cool or effective.
It looks like arcane orb has replaced fireball in effect, except it is arcane damage instead of fire damage.
I decided to give the thing a try and all I've had is problems: http://www.gamespot.com/diablo-iii/forum/error-24000-300008-62596857/
