You should also take into account that internal testing is going great, so they'll probably address certain issues that they find within their own testing and then release a polished beta in Q3.
I'm counting on the fact that Beta won't be 6 months.

I completely agree - Beta doesn't have to last for 6 months. Its a guideline - not set in stone. They wouldn't continue to repeat they are trying for a release this year, if they didn't already have a plan for a shorter than 6 month beta.
Dolaiim no worries, good discussion is good discussion right?
An yes I'd agree earliest is July, though again.. Logic says Blizzard never reaches goals at the earliest possible date.. Again, when July 20th rolls around and the BETA isn't here yet I'll say I told ya so again

Hey thanks for the live feed, all the info and your opinions. I cant wait for the D3 beta. Glad to hear a time frame. Wish it was sooner but hey its something. Keep up the good work! Love being able to get reliable info about D3 (Best Game EVER). I havent even played it but I know its going to be epic from watching the videos and all the info already. Thanks
What do you mean thats it? They just announced that the beta's coming in a few months!
Beta means a limited chance to play the game. I was hoping to get more info about the soundtrack, about eastereggs, about unicorns, about the acts, the enviroment but mostly a year it will be released, you see. Im have personal issues right now and I need good news.
The news was not surprising since it made sense that the beta would be Q3 of this year and then early 2012 would be the release date of D3. The Live coverage I think was pretty cool and you guys did a good job! only thing I would not like about it was the constant trolls in the Live Comments part of the youtube page. Also when Blizzard had a Q&A ... nobody had any questions for D3 it was all about WoW and COD!? Like who gives a crap about those games lol
Dolaiim no worries, good discussion is good discussion right?
NO. I WAS FIRST. Actually I freaked cause I thought my account was compromised for a second. I just recently got identity thefted, so I'm a bit paranoid.

Definitely. That's why I made sure to say the earliest a beta could start is July 1. The latest a beta could start is Sept. 30th.
I'm not actually disappointed. I am, however, surprised and amazed that a 3-month margin of error was the best they could do for a BETA START DATE. I listened to the full conf call (I'm used to them since I work for a publicly traded company, and am a private investor), and it never ceases to amaze me that Blizzard can look Goldman and DB hedge fund managers in the face, who hold thousands of their shares, and basically admonish them for being curious about what YEAR this game will be released.
Once you go public, you have one boss: Your shareholders. There's a reason Act/Bliz stock has done nothing for a long time.

Okey, so.. When do Blizzard have a meeting with just Diablo fans and not "everyone else on the planet"?

Calendar year 2011, not fiscal year.
Simple equation:
(July 1, 2011) <= (BETA START TIME) <= (Sept 30, 2011)
