The contest starts the 11th meaning you can enter then, but the drawing doesn't start until the 17th.

The quotes are almost exactly the same, except the dates and some phrasing, but I also think the drawing will start next week, obviously can't start today...

I'm a little unsure as to how this is going to work. I've read the Terms and Conditions but nowhere in it does it state how the winners will be notified... Blizz has said before they won't ask for information through email but in the contest they ask for name and email address. Will they just be sending messages via Facebook? Does anyone have any info on this?
Point 1: I'm not making a facebook page, real or fake for a .1% chance to win. If I want .1% of something, I'll put money in a bank and get interest.
Point 2: Have they completely given up on giving people access by selecting them at random? It seems like all the keys currently going out involve a contest of some form or another. I concur with other people who have said that this isn't really a beta, I'm not sure what exactly it is, but if you're really trying to test things like system compatability, wouldn't you want to invite different systems, not people who have Facebook accounts?
Point 3: There is no point there, I just have this here so my post won't end wish bashing Facebook, as I understand that they send "overweight anthony" to break your kneecaps if you see anything about them that's seen in a negative life.

But I mean if you have a facebook account but no battlenet account. You can enter it and win it. Are they giving you a key via email and you go create a Bnet account, put in the key and download/play the beta ? How does it work once you win it ?
Because there are lots of people (friends) with a facebook account but no Bnet account.

I just read through their rules, and it states they will inform you on the email you gave them, whether it's a battle.net account or not. So I 'believe' you don't have to have one. But cmon, it's free to make. I'd make one just to be sure. Also for all you cheaters, they explicitly say only 1 entry per person, so don't go trying to make 45k email addresses!
Yep, from what they rules say after you win you have to like email blizz back with some info, and actually use it. I think within a couple of days if you don't, they take it back and give it out to someone else.

damn... I was just quoting 40 year old virgin, but that's good to know.
Well, it's almost November now, so keep in mind that each passing month you don't get into the Beta is another month closer to the actual release. It could be as soon as 2 months from now. Maybe that will put a smile on your lips! OK, maybe not...put that down...not the cheesemaker! erggbbllee......
No, I didn't get in either...

apparently no restrictions of any kind except the facebook one ?

Point 4: Oh crap, RUN!
edit: make that 30,000 more. I wonder how many of the 1,230,000 fans actually signed up for the sweepstakes?

They didn't hand out last weeks until Tuesday night (although it was after Blizzcon) so I'm not holding my breath waiting.
