The press is receiving beta invites

[:1]Some people from the press have received a beta invite:

Edit: So far 4 people have tweeted about receiving a beta invite:
https://twitter.com/#!/silvast1|||One person says he's received an invite. I'm pretty sure if Blizzard were opening up the beta with press invited they'd invite more than one, right?
Edit: Just expanded on the search and there's a few more. Still not loads but this is looking like a good sign.|||omg a real SIGN OF BETA :D|||IT BEGINS|||

Q u o t e:

he confirmed that its probably a press invite.

To clarify, no date for D3 beta yet. Per email: (from known Blizz source), "send us your Bnet account name and we'll flag for access." #cnet

Might just be the press invite that went out, but for those asking, I can confirm that the email I received is legit.

From the official forums, looks like the wheels have started. Cross your fingers for late next week :D|||I think the only thing that can break me from my Rift addiction is a beta key to Diablo 3.|||Blizz PR sources are confirming the legitimacy of this. To clarify, they're not yet receiving beta invites. They're just getting tagged for eligibility when the beta eventually starts. Your title is misleading and inaccurate. For all we know we could still be another 2 weeks out from the actual emails with those glorious keys inside them.|||

Exactly, if they do what they did for SC2 I would expect there to be some form of announcement Sept 1-2 followed by general invites within a week, only to have the beta start mid Sept. Still though, exciting!|||At the very least, I'd like to believe this means we are on track for a september beta. I hope I get an invite :).|||http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3082029443?page=6#108

Q u o t e:
We have begun early media and fansite outreach in preparation for the upcoming Diablo III beta test. The email they are receiving clearly states that we do not have a date to announce for the start of the beta test.
While we appreciate the interest in the beta test, we’d like to take this opportunity to caution everyone of potential phishing attempts or scams. Emails from Blizzard Entertainment will NEVER ask you for your password, and if you are selected for participation in the beta test, you won’t need to click any links in any corresponding email that you’d receive from us. When the time comes, players accepted into the beta test will be able to sign in to their account at www.Battle.net and see a Diablo III Beta license as one of their game licenses, as well as the ability to download the beta.
In order to be eligible to participate in the Diablo III beta test, you should set up a Beta Profile on your Battle.net account, by following these instructions: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=27087
You'll want to stay tuned to the front page blogs of this community site for future announcements regarding the Diablo III beta test.

Aw, I was just about to post that over here. Beaten on repeating my own words...

Are you guys going to post about beta info on us.battle.net/d3 before anyone else like fansites, etc? Or is the plan to release that info to the press first?|||

It would look better in blue though.|||These are just the invites. Is the actual download client going out now? Are press actually playing the game yet?|||

Can you confirm or deny whether or not regular battle.net users are showing access to the beta at the moment?
There's a ton of trolling going around that could be cleared with one blue sentence.|||The press doesnt even know how the @*** to game. What a @***ing waste.
Maybe ill get a reviewer giving !%@%ty remarks about the game cause i pwned him over and over in arena. That would kick ass.|||
