No. He said something like, assuming that there's nothing major they need to fix, they're a couple of months away from heading into beta.

Well, I was confused by it too, but I think he referred to "getting it out" as the game. Because after that he says something like:
A few weeks from now we think we'll have a solid build and get into beta. (roughly paraphrased)
But he clearly says that he thinks beta will take around 3 months.
edit: But either way, that's also speculation by him, so nothing big I guess.

wtf so many bold, italic, red and blue texts. I'm so confused, beta gonna be in June? did I get it right?
|
I think that it will be more July or even August since it is Blizzard 
Anybody knows how you can get a beta key if it is time?

Play WoL 1.5 Beta and review games. Other than that we don't know at this point. Blizz will probably hand out randomly in waves and obviously to pros/personalities/tournaments/teams. Probably gonna be quiet similiar to wol beta, get lucky, win a contest or buy on ebay.

Only 250 keys in that contest is really bad :\ And the more days that you review a game, the more chance you have to get a key. So I guess you only stand a chance if you do that everyday, and then you're still not secured of a key.
So I'll just wait patiently :<

Hmmm, whatever happened to late June? Guess 'NEVER' is right...

Looks like it will be starting on July 11 or around then.
"Drawings for prizes will take place on or about July 11, 2012, and each potential winner will be notified by Sponsor at the e-mail associated with their Battle.net account within five (5) days thereafter."
This was stated in the Rules for the beta 1.5 for enter the contest

When does this thread title start becoming inaccurate? I know it can never be literally inaccurate, but it is coming up to a month after MLG Anaheim and still no official word on when the Beta will commence.

You forget were dealing with blizzard time here. It works inversely to ingame sc2 time. 3 months for them is probably closer to double that, if were lucky. I still don't expect the game to be out this year.
But if it ends up being good and gets out this year than I won't complain, just as long as its not rushed!

Let's not be in a rush if the siliness that is abduct, entomb, tempest are still in the game

Abduct is awesome yo :D.
As for beta I imagine we still have quiet a wait tbh. They said they wanted to release patch 1.5 (which they haven't even announced a date for that yet) and then they would start working super hard on getting hots beta out. Honestly I don't expect it until winter if we're lucky.

winter sounds a tad absurd. i imagine they'd want to release the full game by christmas. with a 3 month-ish beta, late september seems more likely. Remember they're on a clock these days with game releases.

Not a chance HotS is released by Xmas. Quote me later. As a Zerg player, I hope they buff Terran a bit in the 1.5 patch and then go full bore into HotS. I'm still enjoying WoL very much so I am not in any rush.

Remember that 1.5 needs to come live first.
The beta foruns for 1.5 are not seeing much updates, so I think this might mean 1.5 is coming soon OR a new build ("patch 3") should arrive soon at the beta, which would mean some more weeks of beta...

HotS is not coming out this year. They've already said in some shareholder meeting that they hope to release "at least two games" in 2012, which are D3 and MoP (late August).

You must not know the meaning of "at least." That doesn't mean only D3 and MoP. HotS could be released this year too.
