I actually agree with this theory. At the very least, we can likely expect a second Battle Report for the anniversary. However, we will have to wait and see.

"Many people have been asking where they can get beta keys for StarCraft II. Here are a few of the opportunities out there right now, and more will come as we approach closer to beta." -karune

I'm not fond of this sentence; kinda insinuates that the beta might not happen by march 31st.

Unless he considers all the opt-ins to be other opportunities to enter.

April Fools day is the biggest enemy of this theory, if they announce the beta on the 31st what could they come up with for April Fools?

For about the last 2 weeks, the guys over at Starcraft Legacy (sclegacy.com) have had a simple landing page with various images that have had the title "It's Coming..." They've been a great resource for all information and updates regarding Starcraft 2.

Then, today they updated their page to have two count down timers, counting down until March 30 and April 1. Does anyone have any insight or background information as to what they are doing? Are they speculating on SC2 information, or is it possible that they've got some insight that the rest of us haven't been given? Or maybe it has nothing to do with the Beta at all. Anyhow, I was just curious if anyone out there had more information that what I've been able to glean.

SCLegacy has two countdown timers going for the 30th and April 1st. Any idea if these are only related to their Web site or if they know something?

Probably just the website getting a new look to celebrate SC's eleventh birthday.

ideas have been floated around from folks who know people in and close to blizzard that the beta in happening within the month (and i heard 'a month' over a week ago, so..). its perfectly plausible that they know something the rest of us dont!

This revelation pretty much shoots down "all hope is gone" thinking. I think its safe to say SOMETHING very significant will be announced on March 30th/April 1st, simple as that.

I think it would be really funny if blizzard was planning to announce the beta on March 31st, but they run into a little problem/delay and are forced to push it back a day and announce on April 1st... ripping the hearts from fans everywhere.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Haha April fool! The whole SC2 was just a joke, all the images were pre-rendered, as well as the movies. We will reduce our sortiment to WoW. Haha gotcha!

That's deep. And perhaps even plausible.

Blizzard usually doesn't use april fools to do terrible things to us. They usually release Tauren Marines and junk like that. Unless I am mistaken... I'm sure they'll do something epic, but probably not to do with "ZOMG BETA RELEASE! ANYONE CAN JOIN... APRIL FOOLS"
That's just not like them.
