At this point, the only guaranteed release date is "eventually".It'll be done when it's done, not before.
If he's still on track for a 2012 release date, and still hasn't given a specific release day or month, a December release IMO seems very plausible, and not a "It'll be done when it's done". Weather or not it's December, this seems like Ady is pretty sure about about releasing ESB:R late this year, and Ady loves to release things around Xmas time.
