Unofficial: Starcraft 2 before 2009?

PC

Fans of Blizzard Entertainment know how much the company loves to dangle release dates over their heads, never quite releasing the vital pieces of information that would help people sleep at night. We may have a little tidbit for you.

Some American online stores are listing Blizzard's upcoming RTS Starcraft 2 as having a release date of December 3rd this year. This could just be random coincidence or one site copying another, but either way, it's excited us here at Sliced.

The company is infamous for posting "soon" as when to expect their next game/patch/expansion, so infamous that WoWwiki.com is running a definition of Blizzard's "Soon":

Copyright 2004-2008 Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. All rights reserved. "Soon" does not imply any particular date, time, decade, century, or millennia in the past, present, and certainly not the future. "Soon" shall make no contract or warranty between Blizzard Entertainment and the end user. "Soon" will arrive some day, Blizzard does guarantee that "soon" will be here before the end of time. Maybe. Do not make plans based on "soon" as Blizzard will not be liable for any misuse, use, or even casual glancing at "soon."
