Press Release
 
Still banking it's gonna get pushed back one more time. I'd give it another press release just before Christmas rolls around, maybe 1st or 2nd week in December.
 
blizzard wouldn't give a date if they weren't going to stick with it

that's why they never give dates

I thought it would be delayed more, but this kind of ends that.


And from official US forums, response to "Until it's pushed back to June..."

Honestly considering what the beta peeps are saying and they don't push back release I probably won't play the first week since it's likely problems on launch will reach catatrophic levels.
