So will this patch be released to people who already own
the game, and if so will it be released over xbox live?

Very nice. This makes me want to support  even more when it launches in the US on Jan. 5th! It's always good to see a developer supporting their title instead of letting it die with all its imperfections. I'm glad Larian Studios continues to fix and tweak .

Our plan is to bring all releases (that includes the German one) to the same version. So the next patch will bring everything on par with the US version. Hello dear Lar, just wanted to ask a little question no one seems to know for sure: What is the current version on the EUropean English version? It shows 1.03 but it apears to have some improvements from later versions (present on the german version, like swimming animations,etc), but it doesnt seem to have other improvements (present on the german version, as the high resolution texture pack, etc) I might be mistaken ofc, but i'm quite confused as to what was included in the current English European version

I realize it can be confusing as every different language release is basically a different version - it occasionaly has us confused too  Let me try to explain: As we were making different versions for the different territories, we were very opportunistic and included as much features/fixes/improvements as we could from our improvement roadmap, each time a release came up. That roadmap is basically a list of things we saw in various forum posts and reviews, as well as a list of things we didn't get around to doing when the game was originally released. We've steadily been scratching things from the list as they got implemented, but as I said, did include some of them already in certain releases. That's why there are differences between the different versions. The deadline for the improvements was the US gold master, as that was the last scheduled release, and so we made all the improvements towards that version. Once that was done and tested, we then started making patches for each different version - a complex task because of the different versions - but the advantage was that we did improve the game with each release, something which we noted in the reviews and comments of players. Now that that's done, we can finally make the "über-patch" which brings all versions to the same level, but we do have to test against all the versions out there, and that unfortunately takes a bit of time. The upside is that after this patch is released, we should have less work if we want to add something else and as always, we will be looking out for what's on your request list. I hope this puts it in perspective for you all, Lar

I hope this puts it in perspective for you all, Lar , you didn't answer to my previous question ;< May be you think it makes no sense? But it is not, since patch 1.02 didn't fix any issues with script logic flaws, like bugs with Kirill or bugs with guildmaster tower, or empty chests or broken skills (Summon Mastery), etc... So, I wonder, do we get just technical side fixes or complex ones.

I hope this puts it in perspective for you all, Lar Thanks for the answer "boss" I'm now making a little pause on D2 because i realy want to play the game with the latest patch released and hopefuly all the problems eliminated (and especialy the graphical part with the HD textures), so as you can imagine i'm realy anxious to have the patch out. If i can go a little out and predict a date, i'd say i'm expecting the patch until 2nd half January 2010, hope its not too far off.
