Or at least, we’re fairly sure the beta’s nearly jacked up and good to go – if a Blizzard email sent out to a number of press outlets is any indication.
The email prompts members of the press to make sure they’ve signed up for Blizzard’s sparkly new version of Battle.Net and requested a spot in line for StarCraft II’s beta. All pertinent info must be in Blizzard’s hands by June 19.
Based on this information, we’re thinking beta keys will start gracing the mailboxes of outrageously lucky non-press people soon as well. You will hate these people, and you’ll call them names, give them swirlies, and pick them last for the dodgeball team out of jealousy. Do not be alarmed; this is the way things are meant to be.
So, did you enlist in the beta? If not, you’d better hop to it. Really, this could be your only shot at building up some confidence in your StarCraft II abilities. And trust us -- you’ll need it for the game’s retail release, when players from a certain StarCraft-obsessed nation flock to the game in droves and remind you that your happiness was only a brittle illusion.

I give up on multiple email spamming since, well, Quakelive... lolz. Anyways, nice to hear the beta is finally coming out. Needed a break from FPSs and team objective games and was lookin for a RTS in a post mediocrely reviewed RA3. Hmmm, sure glad there's no sign of Supreme Commander 2's release date yet or perhaps another Kane RTS this year or it'll drive me nuts to figure out which one game to spend my hard-earned money into coz I'm poor like that lol.

I use to play StarCraft many years ago. Now that I'm older SCII just is not that appealing anymore. It took them too long, way too long for this to come about.

I hate everything what Blizzard / Activision touches. They put too much hype that they're this and that. They're different from the rest when the fact to the matter is they are just to safe to launch in every game they toss to gamers. They just want to keep their fan base happy and infect others to do the same.

I will start with children, calling them names, and searching their emails for Starcraft 2 beta keys. If i get any resistance, laying down the pain will be in order.
Kidding, could really go for one of these though.
I don't like Microsoft, I associate with it.
