Finally, for real, the StarCraft II beta is about to begin. Activision Blizzard president Mike Morhaime announced today during a company earnings call that the closed beta of the highly-anticipated real-time strategy game will launch this month.
The beta will be offered in North America, Europe, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and, of course, the place where StarCraft II is just about a national pastime, South Korea. Morhaime said the beta would be accessible by thousands of players and used to gather feedback and generate excitement.
The game itself is expected to launch in mid-2010.
StarCraft II has been in development for several years. The original StarCraft was launched in 1998.

12 years for a sequel is a bit long. 'Bout time.
Anyone looking to get in on the closed beta, should go to www.battle.net and register your copy of one of their games (Diablo, Diablo2, D2LOD, Starcraft, WoW). They basically have you download a program that gathers the specs of your computer and from that pool of ppl, they'll select players for their closed Beta.
