I'll definitely be checking this out when I get home from work tonight. Monitoring this thread until then, though.
Can't wait to hear more about this!!
I don't see anything specifically for SC2. But there does appear to be a beta-opt in scanner when you log into your Battle.Net account.
Here is a link from Kotaku though:

Cool, will definitely be doing this as soon as I get home.
Good thing I just got my new 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo iMac on Monday. I doubt Blizzard would have picked me on my old iMac G5.
Actually, you might have had a better chance, everyone has new machines but not everyone is still running G5s, it's in Blizzard's interest to test the game in a wide spectrum of configurations.
Unless Starcraft 2 is intel-only, in which case you would have been indeed screwed.
I've been trying off and on all night and I still can't upload my system specs to Blizzard. Very frustrating. It just keeps saying there was an error in uploading the specs.
Think it's because of demand? My Internet connection is working just fine, otherwise.
It is. I had to try a bunch of times before it went through.
I do suspect this and Diablo III (especially Diablo) will be Intel only.
Not sure what the problem was. I have Windows 7 installed on my iMac, so I decided to try and boot Windows up and try the Beta Opt-In from there. Worked right away. Hope this is nothing to do with some incompatibility with OS X 10.5.6 and Safari/the System Spec Program I downloaded.
Especially since I am using Safari under Windows 7.
I did this yesterday for my Mac. It wouldn't work after a ton of tries, so I redownloaded the systemcheck for mac and it worked right away, not sure what the case was but that did it. And under your preferences, it shows 3 checks for starcraft, diablo and warcraft beta opt ins if I remember correctly.
never tried to redownload it. I'll do that when I get home would rather test it under OS X.
This is odd! I wonder if it's just a problem that Blizzard is working out and they are making the adjustments once the system specs have been uploaded? Hopefully it won't affect who gets chosen for a beta key!
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere in their FAQs that it's a random pool they choose from (while targeting certain machine configs) and when you register will not affect your chances of being accepted.
How did everyone go? Not too sure if beta is out for OS X aswell as windows yet.
System check didn't show up all my HDD space, Only one CPU, and would only show up my 7300 until I took it out then it would display the 8800gt
Is RBarris still around?
Cheers,
