*sigh*
Let's just say that I do hope it's finished by the end of 2006. They haven't given anyone a release date (I went to over 50 sites looking for a more definite time) and they have given everyone the same rough estimate. Late 2006, or, 'When it's finished'.
I'll be updating the news threads in my sig (except for Dragon Age) early Febuary, so hopefully I'll be able to post some previews up that have information that I missed. If I find a date, I'll post it immediately in the news thread.
