So my friend just told me that he received a Beta Invite via email for SCII, I was a little skeptical as I hadn't seen anything official until now!!!!
Starcraft II Closed Beta Launching This Month
Blizzard eyeing mid-2010 release, digital version coming.
February 10, 2010 - The wait for Starcraft fans is almost over.
During Activision's financial 2009 earnings call this afternoon, Blizzard president and co-founder Mike Morhaime announced the closed beta for StarCraft II will launch towards the end of February.
The title is still on track for a mid-2010 release. The beta will also help Blizzard test and optimize its new Battle.net service, which it plans to launch and implement in all future Blizzard game titles.
A digital version of Starcraft II is also set to be available for purchase off Battle.net.
