But yeah, GameInformer had a piece about Diablo 3 months back…and it had tons of screen shots from the game.
If you look online or on youtube you can find gameplay videos (that look extremely polished to me). So I would say mid 2009 would be accurate for a release date…
But they may push it back just because StarCraft 2 appears to be closer to a release date (probably coming in February or early 2009)…and I don’t see them releasing both games at the same time, or near the same time…But maybe mid to 7th or 8th month we could see Diablo 3 on shelves.
