I kind of hope I get picked but my computer can't run it. I would laugh my ass off. Then go up to all my friends who like Starcraft and say "I got into the Starcraft II beta." They would probably freak out and start asking all kinds of question and then all I can say is "My computer can't run it."

like um no offense...but they(blizzard( straight up posted this on facebook :S. I'm assuming twitter too.
this is the first time in a while though that blizzard has given a short notice with a date! and well its not a exact date its a date within 2 weeks before the month is over. the game looks highly polished already and the fact they showed off the new battle.net yesterday was just preparing us for the beta.
I've been signed up for beta since day 1 battle.net. I have multiple games tied to it and I use hardware that is scarce but will def run the game and then some.

And that means anything... how? You are in no way a better candidate because you have 5 games on your account.
Do you really think they are tracking how much posts are made on the forums with every cd-key? Because thats the only link between your battle.net account and battle.net forums login.
Yea, they dont do that.. :\
Edit: @emil: maybe if you like post every day about everything and somehow you get lucky and get picked by some of the workers who said "i just gotta have this dude on the beta" or something... But thats just luck and comon... bah.
People people! I guarantee they are going my system specs mostly. They want to see how the games works on a broad audience. I do not think post count or amount of games matter. This is a bug/system test. They want to make sure it will work on everyone's PC when it launches!
I think a large majority will be from specs alone. Ranging from really shitty to really good to not so popular hardware to hardware majority have.
I'm pretty sure blizzard wants to tests the waters from not only that but ISP,Speed, and location.
I'm sure there prob has something to do with people being loyal who've been signed up forever. you know who I'm talking about...people who did the beta stuff since week one and keep checking your email to see if some sort of beta has come out :P.
but in the end, how do we really know? All we know is if we get picked, we get picked.
Heres to hoping to get picked along side all you other fans. may we all hope to get into this beautiful piece of work.

And everybody here has a Facebook and Twitter account, right? And we can discuss this over Facebook and Twitter as a DiabloFans community right?
and to seniri, I mean't no harm. but the size of Facebook combined with twitter is something to watch for. I do think they will solely slip updates by on these faster on their websites because of the ease. People Might want to pay lot more attention to them because somehow I was on facebook and saw that the second they posted and I almost shat my pants.

I'll believe it when I see it...
the title really caught my attention! =)
1 question though; how did that dude get to that page?
this is the first time in a while though that blizzard has given a short notice with a date! and well its not a exact date its a date within 2 weeks before the month is over. the game looks highly polished already and the fact they showed off the new battle.net yesterday was just preparing us for the beta.

They should choose people who got alot of games in their account. Like me.
I guess... I mean if its randomly chhosen between all the people who have a b.net account with atleast one game... It would be shit if a dude who has 1 game will get an invite and you, who got 5, wont....
And think they will choose people that can run the game in their PC.

I would like to think that i am a better candidate than someone who has 1 game in his acc. It pleases me to do so.
Yea, they dont do that.. :\
