I'm not a selfish bastard, so I'm happy Asian players will be able to start playing at midnight. True, I'll start playing a few hours after them in Europe, but who cares? What does matter is that Asian, European and American players will all be able to play at midnight.
I don't care about that, the only thing I care is that on the east coast we get to login at 3am so I probably won't play at launch (computer is right next to the conjugal bed right now and doesn't have a wireless network card, damn I think I'll buy one just for that...)
The only thing that annoys me about the release date is that its smacked down in the middle of the week.Who came up with that stupid idea?
For the same reason they're opening servers at a not so convenient time. Blizzard doesn't want like half the planet hammering their login servers at the same time.
Probably helps it during an actual work week... yah know when Blizzard is at work. If there are any issues be more likely to fix compared to a Sunday.
EDIT: I can't think of any Blizzard release that was on a weekend for quite awhile.
Three reasons why media is typically released on tuesdays: Sales Figures are released on Monday so they have a full week to report their numbers, consumers know when to look for new releases and if a Tuesday release is selling well, there still is time to order more before the weekend.

Thanks for the info!

Correct, although I would like to point out that Skyrim did very well at launch and was released on a Friday (what a glorious weekend that was)
