he's just spinning to make you think there's a D3 key there without actually saying anything and thus capitalizing on the hype it would generate to draw more people into the event. It might be there, it might not, but you won't get a straight answer. All you know is there will be a beta key and you have a 1 in 3 chance of it being Diablo 3.
1 in 3 chance? not likely.
Beta keys for WoTLK have already been given out and people are already playing it. and I would assume that WoTLK will release prior to, or shortly after, if not on the same day as the Blizz Con.
And while It would be nice think that now its a 50-50 chance of it being a Diablo III or SC2 Beta Key, its not true. I would say at best now the chances are 75% SC2 to 25% Diablo III.
You gotta remember, that yes, while Diablo III might have been in production for longer than SC2, it did go through several major art changes and each time they had to start from scratch. SC2 did not go thorough that.
Comparing the updates on the SC2 site and the Diablo III site, it is quite visible that SC2 will precede Diablo III by a long time. IMHO SC2 will be around for at least a year before Diablo III comes out. Anyways judging by the content of the SC2 site, I'd say that SC2 will be just about ready to release by the end of this year or the beginning of the next (at the latest).
Basically it only makes sense that the beta key would be for SC2.
Best case scenario though, is that blizz would allow the people with Beta Keys to hold on to them and use them for any of the upcoming games.
Example: You get a beta key with an expiration date of 5 years ahead (so if you get a beta key this year it would expire on 2013) and you can use it for any closed beta that blizzard releases within those 5 years (or whatever time limit Blizzard decides is best).
Didn't they give out beta keys a while ago that have still not been put to use? Like last year's blizzcon? I think those will be for the SC2 beta and these might be for D3.

My goodness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and He in whom I trust…
I think he said he cant go to blizzcon, he will just wait for the announcements and he has nothing else to do since he recently moved?!? not sure about the last part!
I'm guessing they will announce new chars, more of the acts, more gameplay videos, and maybe a playable demo (the least likeliest to happen).
what are you talking about? Re-read what he said and see if anything he said has anything to do or says anything pointing with concrete fact that at Blizzcon there will be a Diablo III Beta Key handed out.
As for new characters and other crap, it'll be announced before blizzcon, at blizzcon, and after blizzcon as well. That is pure given that more info will come out.
And for the guy who bothered arguing about "SC2 first than Diablo 3" who gives a care? He's spinning for attention for Blizzcon. The Beta keys will either be named for a specific game or be generic and unnamed. The topic of the thread was "Diablo 3 beta is coming at Blizzcon" which is false. Not "which game will get a beta first" which we already know will be SC2.

First of all, please read carefully both the title of this thread, and my post.
the title is a QUESTION. see the ? there at the end of "Beta For Diablo III?! ..."
My post was simply saying that your previous post is inaccurate, and then going in depth explaining why I don't think that a Diablo III beta key will be given out at the Blizzcon this year. I believe I was perfectly on topic with my post.
Before flaming someone next time and making yourself look like an idiot, please read their post carefully. My post wasn't arguing that SC2 is coming before D3, because that's pretty much a given anyway. My post was saying that SC2 beta keys are more likely to be the ones given out at the Blizzcon this year, as a posed to Diablo III beta keys.
