This really did not come as a surprise to me, or just about any one else, but Diablo III has broken the record for PC game sales in a 24 hour period. In the first 24 hours of the game being on sale they sold 3.5 million copies. This number doesn't include the 1.2 million copies that people got with their World of Warcraft annual pass subscription. That means approximately 4.7 million people were ready to play on day 1. Over the next week that number grew to 6.4 million users.

Well many companies will either live stream the conference themselves or have partnered with a cable channel to do it (such as G4 or Spike TV).  As I find / get links for the streams I will place them in this post, which will be moved to the top of the site each time I update it.

But have they arrived in time to save creation? And more importantly, is it any fun to play?
