Diablo 3 release date

Solution
The BETA has launched and Blizzard is currently testing it's servers to make sure their new platform is running smoothly. Blizzard always takes a little longer to launch their titles and given that they really want to nail their new BattleNet platform, I'd say the BETA will be tested for a good 4-6 months as they fix/patch bugs with the live community. After that, I'd give them another 6-12 months to do final touch-ups.

My guess is Q1 2013.

I'd love to be wrong (and you right) but Sellers have claimed many dates with D3...which always got postponed. Blizzard release games "When they're ready"...which I believe will be by Blizzards standard in about a year or so...

That said, from a marketing perspective, D3 will be released on Q1 (regardless of the year).
