Damn! Daaaamn!! Is this a dream? the game of my dream is having an announced release date?!! Ouuu yeaaah.
I just still doubt where should I play it? Will the Mac version going to have the same PQ as Windows? Yeah Diablo is one of a few dedicated game for OSX, but should I worry if there are some difference?

I was in the Beta invite and had it installed on my Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010, it has the Geforce 320M, with 8gb of ram, Diablo 3 ran very well, I had adjusted the detail down, ground clutter, along with the physics but it ran very well I thought and the laptop didn't get very hot at all, which I was surprised) Running on the laptop screen (1280x800)
So stoked for this game to come out! Only thing I am bummed about is I have the collectors edition pre-ordered but will not be able to play it until it is delivered. I almost want to cancel my order just so I can pre-download it now and play day of release!
They should send a pre-download key to people who at least have the collectors edition come on!

Beta was funky, but the game play/models/effects/ambiance were superb. Definitely getting day one (If I can finish ME3 in time)

I'm not sure what you mean by "PQ". It's the exact same game. Hybrid disc, which means you will get PC and Mac versions on the disc. You may get slightly better performance in Windows, but that's true with just about any game.

Where did you preorder? Amazon does release-day delivery.
I meant PQ = picture quality, or simply .. graphics performance. Sorry for confusion. I understand though that Diablo III will be packaged as "Universal" disc for Mac and Windows like any other Blizzard games. All I concerned was whether the Diablo III for Mac could look just as good as on Windows.
While I have Bootcamp on my Mac, and I think my spec is more than enough to run it on high settings, I'd rather run it under OSX. Well but you may be right, it'll look just slightly better on Windows like any other hybrid games. Too bad
We'll see that on May though.

It looks the same, but you will probably squeeze a few more FPSs in Windows. Diablo III isn't exactly a graphics powerhouse, though. You'll be fine.
Why wouldn't it? I think you, people, should stop over-thinking this and just enjoy.
Sounds like someone is going to get a second computer. My wife hated me playing WoW I don't think she will enjoy me playing this game either.
After looking at the system requirements, it looks like I have several able-bodied computers which will be able to play the game. So, that shouldn't be an issue, fortunately.
Super Excited about this. I feel like I should represent clan Mac by installing this on my Mac, rather than my PC. I'm sure it will run nicely on it.
Diablo III is a game I pre-ordered on Amazon a year and a half ago. Sad, but true. Can't wait!

Blizzard has always been great for both sides. Both clients run almost exactly the same because they care for both just as much. I actually got better fps when playing WoW on OSX than I did on the Windows side.
(Added bonus for OSX in WoW was we got screen recorder built right in.)
