I just saw the movie 2012 for the first time about half an hour ago (i know, its a bit overdue).
I think its pretty safe to say that D3 will be released in 2012, and I just thought it was pretty funny that it would be released at the end of the world.
If theres any special day it should be released, is on December 21st, 2012.
even though thats farther away then i'd hope for, I have a feeling thats the day they aim for.

Except for the fact that Blizzard has already said their goal is 2011?

I haven't been staying on top of the news as much, but i doubt that beta will be less than 5 months. If beta is announced in the next 2-3 weeks, then it'll start in about a month and a half. They're known for pushing back their dates; if you think they pushed it back now, then consider that they're polishing the game now, which is where they spend half the time.

I agree with DarkMagic, I really do hope that it would be released this year and though it isn't possible I think that it is more likely that it would released early 2012.
I have two predictions on the release;
beta announcement anywhere from now till July and Blizzcon will announce the release sometimes between Oct to Xmas.
Or Blizzon announcement of the Beta and the actual game release Q1 of 2012.
Any comments on that?

I agree with feminism. I don't think that it's right that for every dollar a man makes, a women gets 70 cents. Why do I only get 30 cents and some chick gets the rest?

This.
Though I do agree on a 2012 release in general, Id bet anything it won't be later than Q2 2012. As I see it Q1 is most likely, a 2011 release would blow my mind.

If the world goes under before D3 is released I will use my burning determination to swim/fly to Mike Morhaime and push him in the face... and kill Bobby Kotick.
What? Its not like its been a continuous tradition from the Mayans to modern day Mexicans. If anything the majority of the people who believe this stuff aren't from Mexico. Most of them are probably (and unfortunately) from the USA.
so do you guys realize that early 2012 release date will never happen... when has any big name developer ever released a game right after Christmas. If its a 2012 release it will mean an even longer delay. so hopefully its a 2011 release otherwise we will have to wait for at least 5-6 months into 2012 before we get d3.
They said the world would end in the year 2000 due to computer systems that would crash because they weren't designed to handle the 2 in the 4th significant digit. It didn't. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. In 2013, there'll be a new "end of the world" date where all the nutballs and conspiracy theorists can get together and make up some things about the Egyptians or some other radical notion that seems plausible but is just plain fake.
It's either going to be Christmas 2011 with the beta announced tomorrow or they'll wait for their typical Diablo summer release in 2012 which really does seem far out, even for Blizzard.
We know they're trying for 2011, and I think they'll manage it. Whatever they say in tomorrow's call will be the real tell.

I think we'll have a much better means of an educated guess of the date after the conference call.
As I see it it's like this.
Conference call regarding the Beta.
Beta in May or June, or early July 2011 release.
Beta in late July, August or later, 2012 release.
This obviously is leaving out the chances that the Beta shows fatal flaws in the game and thus either would likely be a 2012 release, but I'll just disregard that situation entirely in fear of jinxing it..

one big thing though is beta might not even need 6 months to be tested. Its not like it has to be balanced for an e-sport, or have they said 6 month beta.
