One possible advantage I can see for Force and Sixen is to take a look at the quality of video, playthrough, and commentary of these other so-called "press media", take a few minutes to ROFL, and then step it up a notch and do some real professional work.

I'm pretty sure there is no NdA in place guys, so unless I missed a recent NDA push no one is in the wrong for streaming or recording and casting.
Either way it saddens me to see so many other social icons get into the beta so early who are not fans of Diablo to any level that we are. I really expected at least our Admin Sixen to get in by now to begin some real diablo casting.. It's getting old real fast watching people who don't know two craps about Diablo 3 playing through the beta and getting insane amounts of public exposure for it..

Press isn't supposed to be in F&F beta. If press gets into beta their access is revoked if they post this sort of stuff. Because it's not closed beta where press is allowed it's F&F beta. At least that's how it's supposed to work according to them. Maybe youtube people aren't considered press though I'm not sure. Either way we're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Bottom line: There's no effective NDA, period. It doesn't matter who's posting content Blizzard will not go after them (Although some individuals have had F&F access revoked). At the end of the day, any and all media coverage is good for Blizzard and Diablo 3. It's not surprising that we see individuals like husky, athene, yogscast, whoever posting content recently because more and more invites are going out and these individuals are very well connected.

Are you getting a Press Key for the Closed Beta? If so I'm looking forward to watching class videos assuming you do those, namely the DH!

If I can get my hands on a beta key i will most definitely be putting up detailed tutorials and builds for each class. There is a ton of coverage I want to do in the beta and even more of course when retail hits. I'm working hard on getting beta access but apparently it isn't easy for anyone D:
He has 556k subs on a channel about a blizzard game, why wouldn't he get a media key?
^^^This
He has casted games for some of their tournaments before; I think he's even casted in house games for them, an as such, probably knows quite a few people from Blizzard personally.
Is it better to send beta to a few idiots in game sites that have no idea and/or interest about Diablo and which will have 0 passion when writing about it/playing it... or... one of the best and most trusted people in the SC2 community that will play and comment the sh*t out of the game?
If I had to make a choice and give my beta key to either Husky or any author in IGN, GameSpot, G4TV, 1UP, etc.... that's not even a choice. Husky it is. The authors in the aforementioned sites are soulless creatures that feed on the "benefits" of writing about specific game titles in a specific manner. Unless GiantBomb asked me... I like GiantBomb.
While I'm not surprised about him getting a beta key I'm a bit surprised about him putting out content already. As said earlier Day9 have the beta but was not allowed to stream yet because he is a media personality with a following, etc. This should apply to Husky as well..
Also his description is a bit misleading.. says it's the COMPLETE act 1 when the beta is only a small part of it.

Anyone enlighten me?
So you wont be talking about Harry Potter for the first 5 minutes? Sweet.
Husky just found out that loot is separated per player by reading a noob tooltip.
So, go stream it from these guys instead:
Jason, Kerz and Grz, and make your request.

My PvP build would be different from these 13.
Check out the leaked Demon Hunter skill list here from Blizzard China: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://tiny.cc/10p16
Diablo III is $50; MSI GT683DXR-423US Gaming Laptop is $1,599; Playing Diablo III w/ my wife & 2 brothers is PRICELESS
Exactly. I'm sure Husky has plenty of connections within the gaming community.
I doubt blizzard would have given a key to him directly though, unless he's some secret agent within the Blizzard ranks.
