I purchased Diablo 3 for PS3 as a pre-order download. I don't own any other copies of D3 on any other platforms. I would like to post comments on the D3 forums, but it states: "You need a character (created in-game) to post on the forums." on the create topic button. I've looked for a game key in the PSN network confirmation email of my purchase, in the various menus in the game, the account management screens on PS3, and in the store under downloads... nowhere to be found. I'm probably going about this all wrong, but I just want to link my character my online Diablo III forum account. I did use the same email address as my PSN account when I created my account, and that didn't "automatically" link them... maybe this isn't possible with the PS3 version?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The FAQ over on Blizzard's official console site states the following:

1. A Battle.net account isn't required to play the game on consoles.
2. There are currently no plans for connectivity between Battle.net and PSN or Xbox Live.

This means that the characters on your Battle.net account and PlayStation account will remain separate. If you don't have the PC version, you're out of luck.

Besides, someone already contacted Battle.net support regarding this issue and it looks like it's here to stay, even though the forum titled "Console" is misleading. According to Blizzard, it's basically for owners of both the console and PC versions.

If all you are bothered about is being able to post in the forum - you can download the starter addition of D3 (basically a demo) that will enable you to post as a user.

That's the way I do it at present.
