I highly doubt they will release then, probably not even in 2009. They are still in early development and they are releasing WOW (Wrath of the Lich King) at the time so Diablo III is probably or most likely impossible.

They arn't early in development. At the very minimum 2-3+ years in. What, you think they start working on the game when they announce it?

There are 4 different teams at blizzard. WoW, Starcraft, Diablo, and an unnamed IP. These are seperate so they don't impact the development schedules of the others at all. Mutually exclusive teams.
its not about any WoW account, they aim at different people with Diablo III. I got to order Wrath of the Lich King for a major store today and the Vivendi date was 19/9/2008. Although I highly doubt that its going to be there at that time, I dont think they'd keep Diablo III from stores just because they had to release another project at the same time (face it, its not possible to have it done by the end of this year - content wise they only have one act complete).
Having a complete game kept from people wont help them for the simple fact that it would go old without people playing it.
The earliest they release it (after its done that is, Blizzard policy) the better.
Vivendi is blizzard's parenting company,, y would they provide a incorrect release date,, it would only tarnish thier name... Which if you research them they are one of the leaders in providin and selling of games... I'm being positive and hoping the game is out this year.... Would be legend...
It's already been said but it's all made up BS. Some sites can't announce a game and have people pre-order it without a release date, thus making one up that is ~6-8 months away and then just keep post-poning it until the actual release date is revealed.
Wish it were that soon, lol. I could see it maybe holiday 09. That would still be pretty soon.
Safe to say that when it is finally released, that the game will be polished and ready to play.
