Are you sure? Really?

Blizzard has not yet released any information about release dates, yet you put up a countdown banner in one of your stores and say it will release the 1st of February?

I mean, sure you need to put a date to be able to do pre-orders, but a banner?

This is the one I mean

It's wrong. BBY oops.

I know it's wrong.

I was just wondering why they put that up.

If it now is real... 

[Jimmienomam]

Well it depends.

That one store is getting early releases of D3, kind of like when they had specials on wow a couple years back in the WoW-atousi, Indiana store when they had a WoW week there.

[Jimmienomam]

And yes that was a joke.

[ante0]

haha...

Do any Best buy people ever visit here?

Hi ante0,

Yes, we do visit here!

Wow, it looks like this store might not be up to date on the Diablo release. It's my understanding that we've been waiting years for this game to be released and while it may have had an anticipated release of 2.1.12, as Jimmienoman pointed out, that is no longer accurate.

Can you tell me at which store you took this picture so I can let them know it's not up to date?

Thanks for letting us know about this. I have to admit, as an avid gamer myself, I laughed!

Regards,

*Jimmienomam. I can never remember if it's noman, or nomam. Noted!

Best Buy in Rochester, Minnesota.

Note though, I did not take this photo.

Someone else did, but another big site (Joystiq) has confirmed this.

Strange that no-one has contacted you about it. Maybe they only contacted the local store...

However, your webstore also says Release Date: 2/1/2012
