Shhhh, announcement is coming, hang tight. My money is on a June 28 release (such a historical day!), but regardless GDC isn't really a venue for game related announcements. It's a developer con centered around drinking excessively for five days and networking.
At least Jay will see how a game can actually be announced and finished in a timely manner and still retain its quality.
Mass Effect, retain quality? good joke kind sir

Lol at people reading way to much into this twitter post, already jumping on the QQ band wagon and 'boycotting' Diablo 3 "again", you people listen to "inside sources" and trolls, and then when blizzard doesn't actually go ahead with the false rumor's, you blame blizzard for it not being true, the game will be released when it's released, and that date is soon.
"When men are most sure and arrogant, they are commonly the most mistaken, and have then given views to passion, without that proper deliberation and suspense which can alone secure them from the grossest absurdities"
I want them to announce this week too. But whether or not they announce this week, or next week during their press conference on the 15th I believe for WOW, all signs are pointing towards release. They have been releasing keys like mad, opened the beta up to other regions, Jay saying TWICE we are very close to a release announcement, and they DIDN'T debunk the April 17th rumor out right, which they have done every other time a rumor came up. Plus they have an upcoming press conference for WOW which they could use to announce release. This is definitely progress.
No, I'm totally serious! Oh, wait...are you being sarcastic?
Seriously though Blizzard are inept developers. Deal with it.
Wait.
So, in your opinion, Bioware is doing a better job than Blizzard?
That -is- extremely hard to take seriously. Now, I've been blaming Blizzard a lot for many things and I've seen their share of incompetence... but still.
Early May is my guess. All we can do is wait and see how it goes. On the bright side there are plenty of other things to do in the mean time, play beta (if you have it), watch season 4 of Fringe (that show is awesome imo), might even arc up Tropico 4 or DOW 2 Retribution.
Itll come when it gets here, lets hope that patch 14 is the final of the beta patches.

Super Cop! He knows where you live, he knows where you sleep.
People just stop testing beta and tell your friends to do the same. If you have active WoW account go PKill all and tell them that you won't stop doing it till diablo 3 is released and at the same time tell everybody to stop playing wow and make that game miserable. People close to blizzard just go next to their office on hungry strike. Write new reviews about WoW being the worst game ever. Get your money refund for annual pass as D3 is not released early this year as it was stated on they annual pass add last year. And buy diablo 3 "soon" after it is released. If they don't register big sellings on the first day and week it will be a big blow for their stocks and investors will think about it as a failure no matter what it sells a week after.
Oh, and write email asking to do all above things to 10 people if you don't want to be cursed and get pimps
Your ignorance of game development is breathtaking.Games are stupidly complex pieces of software intertwined with a ridiculous amount of high quality art and animations, repeatedly tested and tweaked and balanced and retested to make them engaging. Almost all AAA games take 5+ years. Announcement date != start of development, not by a longshot.

Because the best solution to having to wait for something that takes time to build the right way is to throw a tantrum.
The best part is, even if you succeeded, you would get a shitty, buggy game. Mission accomplished!

I was going to laugh, then I realized you were serious. So I laughed harder.
