Since this game requires a persistent online connection to play, you are basically RENTING the game so digital download is the way to go for D3.

Even if Blizzard and B.NET went belly up I can still play D1 and D2, won't be so with D3. No need to own a physical copy of it.

Well, I'm betting that the hackers/independent server community will be all over this. Long term, there will definitely be private D3 servers/offline gaming modes. It has been done for WoW and it'll be far easier for a game of this nature. But yes, you are right, especially for day 1 and X months afterwards, this is a rental.

If this were any game but D3(and it IS good, unfortunately, from beta experience) I would bypass it because of the DRM
