It could be the actual release date.
Blizzard has not released any date to anyone yet.
This is what Bashiok from blizzard said..
“Hah. So Amazon.de has the super secret inside scoop of release dates and Amazon.com doesn’t? That’s rich. Why would we tell any retailer a release date? Let alone a German specific outlet of a single retailer?Retailers will find out the release date the same time you do.”
