I'll keep this short and sweet. It looks like we will not be seeing beta anytime in the month of August.
Official Blizzard Quote:
That's weird, they originally had the exact quote in their Inferno article and then pulled it out and only quoted "When it's ready." in that new mini-blip thing. I think his original quote on Kotaku was "by the end of September" but I didn't copy it down.
Anyway, to set expectations straight, beta in August is unlikely. But it shouldn't be too long after.
So, as of now, the best we can hope for is before September 30.

I was just hoping we'd get to see the Beta before I start this education at the university college 12th Sep. :/ It seems like I've been unemployed the "wrong" two years of my life. ^^ *Grrr*
Fortunately, D3 beta isnt quite the typical videogame beta. Apparently their testing the software systems in their alpha and in-company testing. They just want to test their hardware with the beta. So sorta good news it means D3 can be just about done when they release beta, we'd just never know.

Blizzard used to care about releasing Diablo III, then they all took an arrow in the knee...

Wouldn't the "best" we could hope for be Sept 1st?

Way to ruin my day Blizzard. Seriously getting tired of their misinformed information and just plain trolling (Ive been saying this for over a year now it seems to me). MYself, Im past the days of having fun with this as a joke, tell us solid information or get back to work, we want this game this year. Stop joking around.
Of course. But, that phrase wouldn't be better than "the best we can hope for is a release date on the 1st!" It's more optimistic, you see.

Slow blizzard. They can't just patch in their gay systems after they let us play. This game is not coming out early 2012, its coming out end of Q1. Mark my words.
I feel a September Beta is most likely. This is coming from a hard grounded 2012 release believer though.
I feel the event will reveal most of the information we'll get before the Beta release. "Most" being the key word, I expect Blizzard to leave out snidbits of information from the event so they can spoon feed us art, and small details throughout August, holding the Beta for September.

Eh, fuck it, it's not that big of a deal. I've already got my share of good news today (a la Inferno difficulty).
I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
This ^^ Honestly not surprising though, you would think after 10+ years I would learn, but I fall for it every time...
