Diablo 3’s starter edition lets you play till Act 1, guest passes revealed

Want to try out Diablo 3? Well now you can, provided you have a guest pass or you have to wait till 30 days after launch to download it directly from Battle.net.

So what exactly is in this Starter Edition? It apparently contains a chunky amount of content – till Act 1 boss. No spoilers will be given here, don’t worry.

If you buy a boxed copy of Diablo 3, you will get a guest pass free with which you can treat a friend.

Guest Pass keys are included in all box copies of Diablo III.”

Here are the contents:

• Act I up to the *boss* is available
• Level 13 cap
• Matchmaking available only with other Starter Edition players
• No Real Money Auction House access
