well i am sorry to inform u but all kind of game anounce from blizzard all games and expansion happens 1st on their press release site and nowhere else like game events or w/e kind of cebit and it only happens in monday ONLY so i can tell u who is the winner from now cuz anounce will be on 12 march 101%
Not trying to flame you or what not but that is incorrect about the Mondays. They announced World of Warcraft on like a Tuesday or a Thursday a couple weeks before its release. And many games before WoW did not have their release date announced on a Monday. But so far, the rest have.
Taking this from a Blizzplanet article, I would say a next week announcement on Monday, the 12th. Why you ask? Well the person who wrote the article(Sorry, don't got a link. Read it on my iPhone.) pretty much summed up that with WoW getting its attention the week after next, next week would be ideal for D3 so that Blizz could have two weeks worth of info for their fans.
I am also guessing that pre-orders will start right away when they announce the release date. Which with them already activating the Annual Pass members' accounts, makes it seem closer than ever. I say the last sign of release will be when they shut down the Annual Pass or at least change it from D3 to Heart of the Swarm.

I don't always burn. But when I do, I use hellfire.
I noticed that the news article said "Diablo 3 Now Active for Wow Annual Pass Holders". I have an annual pass, but my diablo is not considered "active". Is it because of this "We will notify you by email when the game client becomes available for download."? or am I alone on this?

Yes. You cannot download it because it's not available for download. Like it says.

You will not be able to download until they release it for download.... and even then.. you will not be able to log in until release.
