After seeing the preceding pre-order for Diablo 3 and others for Starcraft 2 and WOTLK I sent the following email to Gameplay:

Hi, I was wondering how information regarding the release date of Diablo 3,
Starcraft 2, and World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion Wrath of the Lich
King was received.
Is this just speculation or is this confirmed and if so by who?"
At 4:59pm today I received this reply:
"Hi there,
Thank you for your email.
All the information on our site is confirmed by the publishers, however all
dates and prices are subject to change.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
If this is true I'll be so happy because I ship for boot camp 12-23-08. I can play for a few weeks and have my Mom bring my shit when I grad form boot to A school.
Well guess what? Vivendi doesnt know it's either. In any case, it's probably some low-level clerk making a completely random guess in order to avoid the nagging/whatever from the publisher.
Vivendi, the company who is PUBLISHING the game, doesn't know when it's being published.
It is possible that she is lying, which seems unlikely because after research this Gameplay has a clean record of posting release date information before confirmation by the publishers. Gameplay IS a UK company, and it's kinda of odd that Vivendi is UK based as well.
Keep in mind Diablo 3 has been in the works for a confirmed 3+ years and possibly up to 7-8. This has potential to be accurate.

Vivendi is not UK based, but France based. However, they're both European, so its credible.
That is a pretty generic reply. They made up the release date... plain and simple.
Why would they do that? If they don't know for sure, they would fuck up their reputation. If the release date does change, it's going to probably change in to a matter of weeks not months.
Diablo 3 will not come this year and maybe not the next year, because we all know Blizzard take long time to create a game, but god know's it worth the waiting

First, D3 is being worked on for 5 years now, and FUCK no it's not worth the waiting, if it is by some weird chance does come out in 3 more years then its going to make 10 years of waiting for it. It will either come out this year, or early 2009. Fuck waiting. And plus who the fuck makes a game for 7 whole years???
Here, check the development section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_III
If Blizzard doesn't know the release date; no one does! I mean Blizzard doesn't know in the sense that they haven't had much luck in shipping games by the first release date time :D. Look at StarCraft, especially, and even Diablo 2.

How can you say a game has been in development for 5 years, and then link to an article that says it's been 3? Saying Fuck 30 times apparently doesn't add 2 years to the development cycle, despite your best efforts.

Blizzard has confirmed 3+ years in development in Diablo 3, and it's possible there are as many as eight. Keep up on your info.

I saw this here

I know most of you think this is BS but don't you wish it came out this early?
