I think it will come out between xmas this year and summer of next. From listening to all the interviews and release of information like a expansion already stated in the works. all characters are playable, the new bnet is up and running still have work to do but majority of it is done. hopefully this blizzcon a beta comes out and from what bashisok states would be wise to attend this years blizzcon. remember they have been working hard on this game yes 7 years but since north left 4 years. so 2010 i believe is way off. seriously think no later than aug 09 if not sooner. lets see how much information they release at blizzcon. if they give us alot like all the character classes and more big boss fights than we could be seeing diablo 3 sooner than most of you believe.
You guys are way off...They are very far from finishing, i say dont expect it before august 09. They confirmed they are finished with act1 and thats it. Not only that, knowing blizzard they will be done a few months after expected.

"Not Even Death Can Save You From Me" ~ Diablo (II)
Blizzard Entertainment Main article: Blizzard Entertainment
Blizzard has a somewhat infamous reputation, as every game released by the company since StarCraft has been released more than a year later than originally announced, although most players have accepted this practice, as the resulting games tend to have positive reviews. In recent years Blizzard has stopped including release dates with announcements. Their most notorius title was Starcraft Ghost, which was repeatedly plagued with internal strife and now believed to be cancelled. Blizzard has announced that the game is not canceled, but is indefinitely postponed.
Games still in production
Diablo 3 Since Blizzard North was absorbed back into Blizzard, PC gamers assumed that they were working on Diablo 3, yet there was no evidence. This was considered a rumor. Gamers assumed correctly that Diablo 3 was going to be a polygon based isometric hack and slash MMORPG with a HUD similar to Diablo 2. On June 28, 2008 the first Diablo 3 screenshots appeared at IGN and Gamespot. Blizzard North was working on an obsolete version of Diablo 3 since 2002. It went through four incarnations until Blizzard Entertainment found the visual style they liked. Announced with trailer of gameplay footage. No realease date yet but is definetly being made.

Surfaced vaporware
Products which once were considered to be Vaporware which eventually surfaced after a prolonged time:
- Diablo II [8]
***Just thought I'd add what is stated on wikipedia about blizzard release dates and vapourware***at 1up.com they have D3 to be released 9/30/2009
Ill just go ahead and guess.. Mid 2010... Early July/Late June maybe.
Making Controversial points one post at a time!
NO chance. SC2 is going to be early 2009 and then D3 will follow later.
