According to Tomshardware.com (very reputable computer hardware news site) several Starcraft 2 sites are receiving what appear to be warnings that the SC2 beta will arrive soon, with the official announcement possibly coming as early as Feb 10th at the announcement of Activision Blizzard's fourth quarter results.
I'm not saying Beta might not be coming soon. But that screenshot is fake. Not only because of the typo, but Blizzard wouldn't use the Starcraft font, and they wouldn't send out an image, they would just send an e-mail.
Hope it comes out soon. Dont belive that is real though.

Check out this screen grab from The Jace Hall Show...
"These are Jace Hall, Dustin Browder and the Starcraft II team, starting with straight shots and then popping bottles. But right there in the background is a hint. The StarCraft II Beta may be approaching."
I would make a guess that StarCraft II Beta is already in session, and that it will never become a public Beta. They don't want the game leaking like every game from other companies.
Besides, I'm sure they have plenty of people at Blizzard to do all the Beta testing necessary.
I also think the Beta is going to be closed. They are likely going to add some players from fan sites to it but they are likely going to have the players agree to a non disclosure agreement.
I do not think Blizzard has enough to do a full test on the game. Likely they will need more players to test out B-net 2

I'm interested as well, I certainly wouldn't turn down the chance to beta test it - but I would much prefer to be in a WoW expansion, or Diablo 3 beta instead.
I hope beta is released soon! I hope this game comes out before WoW expansion.

I feel if they had received this they would have to keep it on the hush..hush.. I'm not saying it is fake, just seems odd to show people that.

After a month or 2 they will make it for europe too.
And then after a month or 2 they will release it.
