theres more political tape on certain claims then just saying "ya thats false" instantly when confronted with it. they have to talk with their board/superiors first and actually 100% confirm its false as to not put a giant foot in their mouth and look like idiots. because theres always that small chance the leak is a real leak and not some bogus ploy to get people all crazy. so they always default with "cant confirm or deny" when they dont have any facts yet

I've been saying April 2012 from the start, without any base whatsoever other than gut feeling. It'd be funny if it ended up being true and from the looks of things, even if it isn't April it should be close at hand regardless.
The fact that he can't confirm nor deny kinda proves that they have a date in mind and they have plans as to how they will go about revealing the date. The optimistic side of me is screaming that we are looking at a release date reveal within the next several weeks and a release within the next two months, but who really knows for sure.

I didn't believe that the "leak" was true, however, Jay's reaction gives me pause. What possible reason could he have not to deny it as they've denied several other "leaks" before?
His no comment reaction sounds like it might be true after all.
not it doesnt. read my comments above

i bet on may 1 2012 well jay may have never debunked it but he didnt agree with it either, may just seems reasonable since college exams are done in may, just sayin.
While I hope and kinda think that we'll get a release date next week the "9 of 10" quote means nothing when we don't know the value of 1 or 10. if 1 would mean a year 9 is still quite far away.
Dividing all the time it took to develope by 10 would give us a clear view on what 9 / 10 means. Don't have the numbers, but it leaves open a window of roughly 4 months. (Rounded a little optimistic, 4years times 12months, /10 for his maximum rating 10/10 ---> 4. xx per number in rating => 9/10 means something in between 4 months and 0 days, unless he wouldn't stick to the integer, but use floating numbers, in which case it'll mean 4.8 months away from release date/release)
So as long as he doesn't say 9.99/10 I won't say it's got to be in the upcoming week. That's just realistic. Better be yesterday.
The optimistic part of me says: it's next week, he'll confirm 17th of april. That'd be awesome!
That's SO much overanalyzing a simple number which was made up on the fly to represent "extremely soon, actually on CEBIT next week"
"That's why I never comment on such things. For some reason the internet thinks I like to speak in secret codes. :)"
^ he tweeted that a little bit ago...but the odd thing is that he commented on someone asking about the release date...so if he never comments on things because he thinks people think he speaks in code, does that mean he commented on the release date because it is a code?
Tomorrow blizzard announces D3 to be released on 1 may. *Crosses Fingers*
other than that being a sunday, I would be pleased with very evry very early may. I still had hopes for apirl (not the 17th) late apirl, but we would have to get the date 100% for sure tomorrow for me to feel safe with that still
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they have a Gold Master and have been printing for some time now. The game requires you to be online and balance tweaks (the maths stuff) should generally be small and easy to patch so as long as they have the actual solid content (voice acting, models etc) in place they should feel safe printing/boxing. That, for me, gives the April date an ok. I've always had May in mind though so I think I'm ready to hear May too.
The May 12th date theory is funny. I'll certainly have a couple of laughs if it falls on that date.
I think the announcement will be monday or sometime during Cebit, so by the end of this week at the latest. They have to stick the flag in the ground and finally release this sucker.

it will eb april matey, remeber the stuff they took out to implement in a later date, half the stuff they took out could have stayed in and got it fixed if it comes out in may
thats 5 months after they took suff out
yea i dont see it being more then ~5 weeks from the announcement to release because theres really nothing left to do but advertise since they cut so much shit awhile ago.

If the release date is soon , any speculation as to when they will update the community site's "game guide" I sure would like to see some item stats... after all the game is going to be CENTERED around the loot!

There's no way Jay's 9/10 could mean 3-4 weeks. 9/10 means one week till announcement at most.
As for release date itself, it could be may or june, but I can see no reason for them to delay release any more. Anyway, we'll know it next week
I think 2012 + 9 years = 2021 the release date
That's SO much overanalyzing a simple number which was made up on the fly to represent "extremely soon, actually on CEBIT next week"
