If we don't get the release date in March I say the game will come out June 26th. Activisions stock jumped .30 cents today after declining that much since just after the conference call. I believe it will continue to rise until the game is released. Im very excited to see how the stock reacts to the release date announcement which probably won't be a huge spike, but also the actual release date to see if it could even do 1/4 aswell as call of duty did back in november.
Never ever this game sells more then 1 Million times (annual Pass doenst count since it was just a bonus for 1year WoW Subscribers - even people who doesnt care about Diablo III got it because it was for FREE if they bought WoW for 1 year, you understand?)
bud there are millions of Diablo fans, fans who bought D1 & D32 when it came out first
Over a decade ago Diablo 2 sold over 1 million copies in less than two weeks. This was with far less hype, and dozens of fan sites like we have here. Diablo 3 will surely sell 1 million copies before the weekend not including annual pass.
In several interviews the queen of egos Jay trollboy Wilson said that the pvp aspect of the game is the last of their concerns. Fine its not an E-sport and its understandable, but to not focus enough that it couldn't be available upon release what a joke. While I love so many things about the Diablo series Diablo 2's pvp though unbalanced at times and chaotic was fucking epic. It was a major factor in replay-ability of the game. I know they still plan on releasing it eventually, but shit they delayed the game enough now they are delaying huge aspects of the game.
Hopefully they announce it soon because too late in march or later means they'll go for the nostalgic date of june 29th... Or worse and hit us with another delay!!!
For the sake of the thread release date announcement March 21st before/after? Im taking bets in beta gold... Ill pay out if i ever get in beta u can be sure.
Edit - forgot to add what what the bet was dependent on (release date anouncement)
There is no Diablo 3. It's just a part of a massive prank on the part of Blizzard. The big news they're planning to announce is that they're renaming the company to Trollhard.
They even programmed an hour of the "game" that serves as a fake beta to make the illusion more convincing.
You'll see. You'll see and remember my words.
It doesn't feel legitimate to me. I hope its true and I think we will get a release date this month for sure, but that doesn't seem like enough time by blizzard standards between announce n release. Also I have read they still plan on giving out a lot of keys, they would really have to pump the keys out quickly because the beta will be ending at least by April 10th if this is true.
I told my buddies who are fans of the Diablo series, and have played D2 on several different account cycles that the released date for the game will be announced in March. They loved the series, but not as much as me to go on a fan site daily and keep their ears on the ground listening for every bit of information/rumors. The fact that they expected to be playing sometime during the winter of 2011, and we are nearing spring with without a release date has driven them to become very cynical about the game. I think they are are a good representation of the larger not die hard fan, but fan none the less of the Diablo series. When i bring up the game they all get angry or laugh and say that the game will never come out i try to convince them, but all i can say back is crap beta bs conference call garbage promising rumors and more trash. I show em the new videos of skills and such but after its all done they ask for more than is avaliable.
I am not sure why i got into all this, but my question is I told them we get that release date in March. What are the odds that im right?
I see my post got moved to the "official release date spec" page.... I know that is what this is....but it seems to take away from my post validity.
No one doubts it happened. But it is speculation to believe it has something to do with release. Hence why it moved. If I may ask how much did you get charged by BB?
I used a $25 gift certificate so after tax it came to $78.74 ($99 originally)
If the games over $60 bucks ill be prety pissed for about a minute or 2 before I am euphoric again about never having to hear "soon" or "when its ready again".
