The control layout is essentially the same as all NEX shooters, aside from a few deviations compared to the F3 -- the pop-up flash and its releasebutton are closer to the center, while the playback button is now near the top-center.
For weeks now, Blizzard has been offering pre-purchases of the game online, and you could download Diablo 3 in its entirety before release in order to simply click a buttonand install on launch day, and customers can continue to buy it through them at any time since then.
