For some reason, IGN reported how the Diablo 3 Beta icon "secretly" appeared on Battle.net and then went on to say that "supposed insiders" have suggested that the Diablo 3 beta was scheduled for release this summer.

Even "internet detectives" have unearthed new Diablo III info on Battle.net. [LINK]

IGN, this has been a known fact for some time now. Even Michael Morhaime officially announced that the Diablo 3 beta was targeted for July-Sept 2011. Everyone has known that the beta was going to start during the last few months of 2011, but insiders have announced that D3 was going to be announced at Blizzcon for a Christmas release. Beta testing for Blizzard is really just a sneak peek of the game.. even during beta testing periods, they've hardly made any changes to the game before retail launch.
