So is it just a lost in translation thing? I mean is the "open beta" really just what we'd call an unlimited free trial of the game?
Beta usually implies the game is still in testing... which is contradictory to the game being released on the same day the beta starts. Also beta usually implies that you can submit bug reports and that patches will come really quickly based on those reports.
Imagine if the 10 day free WOW trials were called 10 day open betas... would be super confusing.
from what I can tell, that's exactly what it seems to be, a free demo/trial

World of Warcraft subscribers get SC II for free during 7, 30, and 90 day subscriptions (Korea). In essence, you're paying for a combined B.net account.
...Why no love for the west?
If you think that's bad, SEA and Aussie players have to pay 80 USD for the game =\
Game 2 was pretty hardcore. The brief server choke was hilarious, but they already announced the LAN-enabled professional edition so that'll be a non issue in the future.
