According to http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/legacy/index.html Diablo 1 was released Dec. 31, 1996.
A Dec. 31, 2011 release of Diablo 3 would mark the 15 year anniversary of Diablo 1 and make for a sweet collectors edition.
End of november / first week of december release seems more realistic...they could always say 15yrs just because it would be out this year regardless of the dates matching exactly.
Guess we have to weigh up the options. Is blizzard mainly focusing on Buisness sales for before Xmas? Or will they go for the 31st option for the sake of the 15 year anniversary. Only time will tell
Wikipedia as Diablo 1 listed as released on Nov. 30, 1996 (taken with a grain of salt). I also suspect Dec. 31 to just be a place holder date on Blizzards part (mainly due to some slacker new hire) since from what I've been able to dig up they've never released a game so late in the year.
Just rambling...anyone have the original Diablo 1 box to 100% fact check?
