Personally, I don't think we will see a release date until Guild Wars 2 gives a release date. The betas for Guild Wars 2 are also going on right now so I am thinking we will see very similar release dates.
The one thing to remember is that games are only allowed to come out on a Tuesday and only Tuesday. The industry is controlled this way so there isn't a game coming out every other day. Just like how movies come out on Fridays, unless its a holiday. So any prediction that doesn't land on a Tuesday is already wrong. I am probably the worst at this guessing game, I would have bet my life twice already looking from an investor standpoint. You are only hurting yourselves I Guess you like the pain as much as me

Sometimes you don't always know where you stand... until you know that you won't run away.
I am a huge diablo fans layed a lots of D1 and D2 ( still playing as of right now lol) Also I have read every books.. I am crazy I know right lol so I can't for D3 to come out I am always watching D3 video on youtube lol Wish I had a chance to test de beta lol but anyway my speculation date for D3 is probaly 7th of may I don't know why it look like a great day to release the game anyway that is just my opinion anyone else thinking it will be out in the month of may?
LOL, hold onto your skits 'cause in all likelyhood the actual in a physical box with Disc's deliverable to your door will not be available till Xmas or 2013 New Year.
There are way too many problems right now with all the new ideas/changes etal to be ready any time soon.
If you know someone at BattleNet then they will confirm this to you.
At the moment I am thinking it will come out around the same time as Guild Wars 2. This is only because there is nothing I want more than these two games and of course it would just be so (NOT) hilarious to have to keep switching between both games to keep up with everybody else! But then again, having too much to do will always be better than having nothing to do and being bored as.
I would say somewhere on april or may. Sadly. I really don't know about Blizzard's beta testing record with other games but patch 13 just came out for Diablo 3 Beta and well, who knows, maybe well get another 20 and this guess will fail, or we'll hopefully get it sooner than that. Plus, they've already got all the content page completed.
i think this beta patch 13 will be the last major one.
as i stated in another thread, i can't imagine that blizzard need the whole q2 for finishing up.
the paypal-stuff is implemented, the rune and skill stuff will be with patch 13 today or tomorrow, the rmah and gold ah will run simultaneously etc. pretty much all set in stone. then give to the EU some more betakeys next week, announce the releasedate at the beginning of march and we are good to go for a may 1st release.

The changes to the Beta Auction House that we're talking about here are not tied to Diablo III Beta patch 13. The two may not be going live at the same time.
In my mind, there is no other date than June 29th. Since Diablo II, AND the LoD expansion was both released on that date, as well as the date being a Friday, I can't seem to see any other logical date for this to be released. Exactly 12 years between the 2 games.
I'm thinking it's gonna be announced April 1st to make some confusion, and later officially announced.
I seriously hate all this wait, also with them teasing and pricking us with the beta! ):
They themselves said an early 2012 release. The latest I would say an early 2012 release is by April but I am definitely hoping for a March release.
Well, early 2012 can mean anywhere before middle of the year really, so they've never said anything untrue. But if they release it July 1st(first day of Q3), they've broken their promises.
5th of May. (+ or - a day depending on your TZ) Thats my gut feeling. If they wrap up the beta by March that gives them April to announce and get production and shipping of boxed sets out of the way.
May works with the whole "Early" thing and yeah its my theory and im sticking with it till im proven wrong
