I have to agree that this release date is pretty far fetched, but considering that gamespot is one the biggest gaming sites out there, I guess there is some chance they got some "inside" information or something.
That and considering that in one their previews of the game they wrote what one of the blizz guys said, "that it would be around 1/1.5 years". It's not likely they would put up contradictory informarion (I can only hope... :P)

It does show 12/31/08 on the top 10 list they have, but if you continue to the D3 main page on the site it still shows TBA
I wouldnt expect it until late 09'....guess it really depends as to when they will quit dickin around with WoW, got to figure how long have they been working on Starcraft 2 as well? My guess is 2010. Blizzard should of made a 2nd epansion for d2 to hold us over.

In one of the panels I think they said that they've completed the first section (he might've said Act; I'm not sure) and they're mostly working on making more content.
How long does it take to make content?

Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!
people people , you are getting most of your info from websites that do not belong to blizzard , -sigh- if you "READ" the FAQ on the d3 web site blizzard say quote and unquote "It's too early to estimate Diablo III's release date"" We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players."
Have these people ever waited for another Blizzard game before? Even if a release date is announced it will almost assuredly get pushed back. Almost every Blizzard game has been pushed back before.
Also, IGN has a release date of September for the PS3 Remake of Final Fantasy VII.. That alone destroys it's credibility.
GameSpot isn't too reliable either. And, even if they had some insider information it would mean nothing.

Blizzard is quite a decieving company though, and secretive.
They could already have a release planned and we would have NO CLUE at all.
Kind of like the game announcement... We had no actual information then BAM they have a cinematic and a half hour of gameplay..
Can anyone confirm where did they get this information form and whether it is accurate or not ??
www.nerdyblog.com - Great website and great Diablo III streams and Skype chat!
Edit: Can you link where it says that?

Don't even mention 2009 lol. Man, I hope they release it in 08 but I dunno. Here's to hoping.

Exaxctly, actually more then 4 most likely, Blizz North already almost finished it then Irvine just had to re-build it I believe.
So 4 + years... with a full team, it could be done within half a year.

They've scrapped the game twice already and started over. That's why it's been 4 years.
