I got an email for a SC2 beta invitation and SC2 is in my bnet account, but sign in through SC2 isn't working. guessing I have to use Blizzard's SC2 downloader since my SC2 install was from a third party site.
It says I'm not eligible to do the beta analyzer because I don't have any Blizzard games installed. Anyone else deal with this?

Please activate the Battle.net Authenticator product attached to this account, and enter the six-digit digital code that it generates.
I have no idea wtf it is talking about...
I haven't logged into battle.net for a long time and the last time I was there, it worked fine.

There are usually paths that don't have rocks in them. The paths with rocks are usually either a really short path between bases or a path to an alternate resource spot.

Only the Novice version of the certain maps have their entrance blocked off with stuff. Prevents noobs from rushing each other early in the game and ending it in 3 minutes.
I got an invite email at 11:00 last night! Played a few games already and I'm really liking it.
I signed up for the free trial of WoW and was able to sign up for a beta key.
Here's to hoping!

I NEVER thought this would happen as I'm an old school gamer who hasn't upgraded his PC in ages (they have my spec report)
This just showed up in my gmail..... Let's see how pathetic this game runs on my lame ass 8500GT with old school dual-coal xeon processor. Downloading client now (1.6 gig)

I think the weaker the hardware used to opt in with, the higher the chance to get into beta.
I got into Beta Sunday morning but didn't get to play until yesterday evening. Personally, I don't know what to think about the game. It's not amazing looking. It's not amazing flow wise. It's not even amazing strategy wise. As someone who has played over 5000 games of Warcraft 3 and probably over 2000 games of Starcraft, I didn't really see it as the jump in games that I had hoped for. Instead I see it as Prettier SC1.
In Warcraft Three most of your focus is on a group of perhaps 12 units and heroes. You walk around with these groups and attack creeps when you aren't attacking your opponent. If you get better you can learn to deviate a little from this and do multiple things at the same time, but really the focus is on one area at a time in games.
In Starcraft 2 I feel like I'm creating a net for my opponent. I harass him from behind, I expo, I hit him with 3 units in the front. I make him chase my scout for 2 minutes. I do all these things at once. This is exactly the same thing I did in the original. It's almost as if nothing has changed.
So for the purists out there who still go back to the original when they can I believe that this is a game you will love. For me, I will enjoy the new wave of competition but the battles hold little interest. Micro is important but it is not critical like it was with Warcraft 3. I find myself not watching battles at times to work on my economy or to expo check. I rarely if ever looked away in W3...
I doubt it is fair to compare this game to Warcraft. They are designed differently even if the commands are the same. The game is fun though, and its a blast to shut down everything your opponent tries to do. I just hope I am able to dive into this game the same way I did the original and W3.
