If you haven't checked, we updated yesterday's news posts with information regarding the release date sign. BestBuy was told to take down the sign by a GM. Also on this note, it was indeed confirmed the sign was a BestBuy product. However, today Bashiok came out as clear as everyone wanted with the following statement:
Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo III does not have a release date. Any store or person claiming otherwise is guessing.
Demon Hunter - Elemental Arrow Runed
Today we have the Demon Hunter's
Elemental Arrow. As always, please keep in mind this is not 100% what it will look like live. Some effects/graphics could be off. Please keep this in mind!Wiki Digest #6
PhrozenDragon has brought us our weekly updated on the wiki!
What's New?
As many of you have undoubtedly noticed, the wiki
Main Page has received a graphical overhaul. The design features some increased space usage, diablo news on the main page and some helpful links for people who whish to get involved in the wiki.As always, Apoc has made some interesting additions to the wiki, such as information on
Map Generation and Procedural Generation, which talks about the random map elements of Diablo III. He's also taken to making the wiki more asethetically pleasing by adding monster and map images to articles.New user Ebonmourn has dug into the wiki and updates some of our legacy parts. The
Immune Monsters (Diablo II) list, which lists all monster immunities in the game and how to break them, has finally been completed and is now complete. He also began completing the various Diablo II item list pages, adding affix lists to them. So if you're still wondering what affixes a sword, or any other Diablo II item can spawn with, wonder no more.I myself have taken to slowly update the wiki with all the new lore information we've received from the Book of Cain. The work is far from complete but there have been some noticeable additions to the wiki already: check out any of the
Great Evil such as Mephisto, or minor pages such as that of Vischar Orous. If you want to keep track of what pages are being updated, bookmark this page. Any pages I update with Book of Cain references will appear here.Jinshin has also helped out with some lore additions to the
Horadrim and Mephisto pages.I also want to give a shoutout to all of our minor contributors who may not have made big changes, but their work is still much appreciated. These are Verity, Sojourna, Tioproza and a host of anonymous editors who left nothing but their IP adress behind.
What's Being Discussed?
Ebonmourn has started a discussion regarding how we should handle embedded headers in the wiki.
Book of Cain Signing
Blizzplanet was able to get some nice pictures of the book signing this past week over at Book Soup!

O'rly? This info from a German logistics guys says that a huge batch of the game (standard plus CE) is scheduled to arrive in calender week 7/8 at an European terminal, from where it will go to German supermarkets. This, plus the printed manuals plus that promo poster (without the self-made BB stickers on it) tells me that manufacturing and shipping has begun. Expected release is now end of February or early March 2012.

How many anonymous "reliable sources" did you cite already?
[/quote]

anyway beside the point. Already posting in the thread.. If it indeed is true, it fits into my "release at feb meeting (release date that is) and release march-late hope.

I think we'll see the release date before the investor's conference call because, as Bashiok said, they "traditionally try" to announce it about 2 months beforehand. Packaging and shipping seem to be confirmed IMO after all these news and leaks during the past few days.
[/quote]
that just makes me think April then =P
or.. if they announce it a week before the call like they have in the past... lets say... "Feb 10th" to make up a 100% made up date
match 27st is "almost" two months... (well 46 days.. but w/e)
time will tell, either way I cant wait to get some more info.. these are fun times..

[/quote]I wouldn't mind an announcement of February. Gives me time to get a job at Best Buy for a discount. And I don't want to have to waste my summer stuck in my room playing the game. But with school up again, I am hoping time flies by till the release.

Although in this era with these kind of online games 100% we don't play the burned DVD version but a patched version of the game.

- they can announce release date tomorrow but it's another 2 months of waiting and it's too late for me
- they polishing game too much and you know they can wear away all the paint

It has been said many times this doesn't mean anything. Retailers don't know anything. I can give you a list of 50 online stores, all with dates, all guessing. The American BestBuy page even gives a different name.

From Deutsch to English, hope the translation makes some sense.
"As we learned today afternoon by a reliable person to be in the 7th and 8 Calendar week (yep, this year), tens, expect severalmeters high pallets packed with the Diablo 3 standard versionsand collector's editions in a major international hub. The destination: the big German store chains like Media Markt ,and Saturn
The shipping date could not disclose the source for understandable reasons, but if you take from 10-14 days, startingfrom large warehouse, it could be Diablo 3 end of February or early March in the stores. The so-called golden version and the manuals should therefore be straight in the press. Incidentally,we were also told that Diablo 3 was registered in November 2011 and was ever canceled again. 7 / 8 week have also been booked under the reservation, but we go out assume that it works this time. As far as our current information. Once more we know about, of course, now there's an update.
Many thanks go to the bearer of good news!"
