I just thought we would see what the public is thinking about the release of the game. WIth Blizzard saying that they have til Diablo alrdy complete. Im wondering if the beta is going to be just little tweaks. Diablo 2 for me can only go so far >.>
First half of next year. Any earlier would be illogical considering where they are and that they are just starting the Beta, any later would be illogical as well considering the little they have left to do.
If I had to put a precise month on it, I'd say May, just in time for the kiddies getting out of school to pick it up. (Flame/troll all you want, there will be just as many kids in D3 as there will be adults. The M rating means nothing.)

I forget in what forum I heard this, but I think Jay Wilson (or someone high up) stated that D3 is complete and that it's now only tweaks that need to be made. Yes, the tweaks might be big, but I doubt that they are that far behind. I see it being released before the end of February.
When it's done, sorry can't help but say it I chose Q4 meaning can be as early as October but that's probably impossible.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I love all loot fest kind of game! I will be playing all of them for the next few years. Loot fest games I'm looking forward to: LotR: War in the North,Torchlight 2,Borderlands 2 and of course Diablo 3.
If the beta were to start late August - early September, it will go for 2 months and end sometime in early - mid November.
From this, I hypothesize that Diablo 3 will be released either late November or early December. =) For a more specific answer, I'd say: 25th November - 10th December.
they would prefer release to not co-incide with the new star wars MMO apparantly coming in Q4, so i read in a market analysation of actiblizz, that it would be more profitable to wait till jan/feb.. to boost sales, but hoping for a december release myself
This. I also read that Blizzard said that SWTOR was their main competition in the market. So it would only make sense for them to release D3 after SWTOR came out. Even though one is a MMO and the other is a RPG there are people who will choose one over the other if they are released around the same time. Plus I rather wait for them to release the game 100% then them rush it out for the few very inpatient people who troll beta and release threads everyday.
