This happens with most gaming stores. Gamestop hasn't been supplied a release date (as it's blizzard); they've just made a shot in the dark to supply consumers with an answer when they ask.

Seriously.
Some people would to go into a game store and ask a question; some would rather an answer there on the spot, while others incomplete closure.
I'd rather my Gamestop employee to sound like He knows what he's talking about, even if it's a rough estimate of a release date than walk in and..
Me: Do you know when Diablo III is going to be released.
GE: Umm... derr, I dunno.
Me: (well damn thanks for nothing)

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.

I dunno, I wouldn't like that personally. He doesn't know what he's talking about; he's just giving you false information.

Gamestop needs to set a hard date before they can start to preorder games. As do all game retailers. What they don't need to do is have the right date. So for them to take preorders only means they are going to put a a guestimated preorder date and start taking reservations with the stipulation to which the date should change, you will still be guarentee'd your copy. And what they do is tell people an earlier release date so they sell more pre-orders because people think the game is coming out soon. Marketing ftw.
The mayan calender actually ended in 2007. Why? Well the mayan calendar has nothing to do with the christian calendar and there was actually 5 years in between 0 B.C. and 1 A. D. What most people do when evaluating this is not put these years into the mayan cycle and just assume the calender is 5 years ahead. So that whole 2012 Mayan calender theory is bunk.

Please just stop thanks. I hope a mod deletes this comment. No offense to you at all but i dont want other people replying to it on their opinion on the matter. There is still to discuss on the original topic. So please if a mod could delete that so this thread doesnt get out of hand.
And it seems you have good info on the mayan stuff, maybe you should make a thread and inform us all :thumbsup:

The expansion (WOTLK) will definitely come out first- it was announced a while ago, at least before Diablo III (which is still in the alpha stage), and it isn't an entire game, only an expansion. I would laugh hard as hell, though, if Diablo III does come out first. We deserve it after waiting for so freakin' long
There deleted for you. I Left the relevant information tho.
cool. now go post a thread:thumbsup:
Didnt they say that they were shooting for Nov. for WOTLK?
