That's weird, they originally had the exact quote in their Inferno article and then pulled it out and only quoted "When it's ready." in that new mini-blip thing. I think his original quote on Kotaku was "by the end of September" but I didn't copy it down.
Anyway, to set expectations straight, beta in August is unlikely. But it shouldn't be too long after.

Do you guys think we will get a release date at Blizzcon with the Beta being so close to it ? I know they have said trying for a 2011 q4 release but really with it being almost september and still no Beta . Beta sounds like it is just around the corner. But what 4-6 weeks beta before Blizzcon. I do not think that is time enough to get a relase date at Blizzcon. Just curious what you guys thought.
I hope you are right. I can't wait to load it up and hear the music and see it for the first time. Get the sense of Diablo in my blood again and kill kill kill. lol Lord help us well have no lives
Yeah me too. Hell I remember playing D&D before there was windows or home pc's. (Giving away my age there) lol . There really wasn't anything out there. Diablo to me was the first true game period.

I always thought that they would delay the Beta to announce it in Blizzcon. I cheer for something earlier, but that's what I've always believed.
But even if the Beta starts in early September, I find it highly unlikely that we get any release date in Blizzcon. I'm pretty confident that a release date will only be available AFTER the very end of the Beta. They wouldn't want to promise something and then find a big bad voodoo bug in the last week that would delay the already announced release date.
I don't remember how was it with SC2, did they announce the release date before the Beta ended?
What MOST people seem to forget is that only a minority of the total fanbase is acutually gonna get to play this ...unless it gets pirated, which i dont think it won't
The hype about the beta is not about playing it, it is about being sure that the release date is close.

I don't think it's that people think they are going to get a key. It's more the fact that the beta has started which means the release is coming to a near. This just shows that because the beta keeps getting pushed back that the release isn't happening anytime soon. It further proves that they don't want to release D3 in lou of SWTOR being released. I don't see D3 coming out till 2012 Q1.
Obviously I want it coming out sooner than that. But I don't see that happening. Think of it like this. Do you think they would release Jurassic Park and Independence Day on the same night, no friggin way. Neither would have done as well as they did. You don't think video game companies plan their game releases around other games they think is their competition.

I also think that the simply fact that they are still considering an August release means that it should be early September if nothing goes wrong.

In other words we're *probably* looking at a September beta, though it could come in august (wink wink not, please stay tuned hyped up fan base)
Thanks Caniroth for the awesome sig!
