So assuming the beta comes out in Q3 then hopefully the beta will come out by at least mid September (hopefully earlier) which means that the game will most likely be released in 2011. If the beta does come out in Q3 then what better time to announce the release date then at Blizzcon??
I dont know about you guys but if we have nothing else to look forward to at the moment at least there's blizzcon in <2months!

Just like we were guaranteed to get a beta release on the press event or conference call.
I have to say: don't expect a real release this year.
Virtual tickets are a pretty good deal, you don't get to play the games but you pretty much see everything (which you can't possibly see if you're there cause there's SOO much to do in so little time).

My guess is that the beta starts in September, if they are happy with the beta they will end it before blizzcon and announce the release date for the first week of December.
I am hoping for a release date at Blizzcon but I'm not so sure. Because listening to the conference call when Mike was talking about release date his voice seem like, we're hoping to have it out this year but were not sure. Last call he sounded a lot more confident. I detected some doubt in his voice. I hope we get a release date at Blizzcon. Only time will tell.
I'm sure that Blizzard will come through on their promise of a Q3 Beta launch, it would be very unprofessional to delay beyond October 1st. That being said, I'm still very iffy about a 2011 release unless the Beta testing period is exceedingly short. SC2 beta lasted from Mid Feb until just before retail launch (July 27) - Blizzard would have to run a beta test lasting about half that time period and I just don't think that's very realistic. I wonder what aspects of SC2 require so much more testing than that of D3. How long into the SC2 beta did blizzard announce the retail release date??
