Given how late Blizzard started/opened up the beta, the delay isn't surprising at all.

Given that Blizzard never announced any sort of release date, it isn't even technically a delay.
Headlines like that are precisely the reason Blizzard is always so quiet on things like release dates.

As Darth DIDN'T put it (til recently), "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

They have stated many times that Diablo 3 is an singleplayer game and it will be free to play you pay for the game once
Arrohon Sep 24th 2011 7:58AM
I can assure you that it WILL be play to play.

And just to prove there is no such thing as a coincidence, this morning, The Old Republic was given a December 20, 2011 launch date.

Oh, wow. >_>

Diablo 3 is a multiplayer game. It is free to play once you have bought the game. Blizzard will make additional revenue on a small fraction of each posting/sale in their Real Money Action House (RMAH).
