| OFFICIAL BLIZZARD BETA KEY FAQ AND INFO |
The Diablo 3 beta has officially begun, and Blizzard has sent out the first wave of beta keys to some lucky participants. If you opted in to Blizzard’s beta testing program (which is required to qualify for a key) then you can go check your inbox for a key.
If digging through your inbox doesn’t sound like fun, an even safer way to check for your invite is to log into your battle.net account and see if the Diablo 3 Beta shows up under your list of games.
The official Blizzard post states the following:
"Interested in signing up for an advance look at Diablo’s coming invasion of Sanctuary? To be eligible to participate in the Diablo III beta test, you need an active Battle.net account with any Blizzard game title attached to it. If you don’t already have an account, it’s easy to create one. Once you’ve set up a Battle.net account, or if you’ve already got one, you can access it by visiting http://us.battle.net/en/ and clicking the Account button on the upper right. Then, to opt into the beta, just click the Games & Codes section of your Account Management page, and then select the Beta Profile Settings option from the drop-down menu. You’ll be prompted to download the System Check beta opt-in application; running it will opt you in to the Diablo III beta. If your system specifications change, you can run the System Check application again to update your information.
While running the System Check application doesn’t guarantee you a place in the Diablo III beta, we wish you luck and hope to see you in Sanctuary."
FAQ LINK
Blizzard President Mike Morhaime, wants to assure everyone that the beta isn’t just being used as a publicity demo like some other games have done, and that player feedback will be heavily taken into account during the beta. He adds that there are so many moving parts to Diablo 3 that there’s just no way to test it all internally, and as a result the public beta will be crucial. He even gave some hints that part of the reason that no firm release date has been set for the game is that they’re waiting to see what player reaction is to the beta. They don’t want to commit to a release date and then realize after the beta that there isn’t going to be enough time to fix all those things.
We don’t see the harm in a date though, we’re all used to Blizzard delays anyway and most of the time they are for the good. As a matter of fact we LOVE the fact that Blizz just puts out the game when THEY think it's ready and NOT when marketing studies, deadlines or other greedy bastards say it's most appropriate. Onwards!
For the end of this post, I will provide a list of links to most Beta Key Contests I could find. Even tho this list has been filtered, user caution is advised. Excepting Google Ads, that this blog has chosen to work with, I am under no circumstance providing ANY service to any of the other hereby listed sites, or am affiliated to them. The listing here DOES NOT bring me any monetary benefice and thus this blog's owner cannot be held responsible for ANY kind of issue that may come from visiting the related sites. Proceed at your own risk and with caution to fraud.

I think this is a fair way to decide who gets the keys...
If you guys have other suggestions we would love to hear them
Goodluck fellas!"
- diablofans.com hosts a caption based give-away, pretty nice too :D. The 1st week's contest has ended with a big disappointment to most of the participants having a non-caption entry win the caption contest. My own participation captions for the first week can be seen here:
One that clearly should be a winner at this time is this guy's post! I lold hard :D
Our Blog will refrain from future participation due to having serious doubts about the selection process of this contest. Please visit out Horadric Page for full coverage of the story.
If all this doesn't work for you, maybe Path of Exile BETA key give-away will do the trick :)).

Blizzard posted information about a sweepstakes on Facebook today that puts fans in a position to win one of two hundred beta invitations each week, in addition to a second key to every fourth winner.
For those of you that weren't fortunate enough to get into the beta yet, it's simple: All you have to do is sign up for the drawing through Facebook.
There is one "minor" problem... not EVERYONE and to be more specific every country can participate (a thing that many of you are quite accustomed to from several other competitions or tournaments)... lame ofc. For a list to those countries and more info, you are again welcome to check out the Horadric Page.
For those eligible tho, the drawing is running today through December 12, so get to it!
Visit our Horadric Page for more NEWS, info about the ONGOING CONTESTS and lulz, Cheers.
