EA just finished their growth stock conference and Riccitello said, that they will start the high-scale beta by the end of June

The reason weve put a range on that was primarily around the sliding window associated with Star Wars. Were very confident in the title, but we did give a range of potential ship dates, it depends really on the beta that were now in, were in mid-scale beta, now we got a high scale data.
At the end of June and only the full way to assuming the outcome of beta in terms of whether its just six week ahead or not. We intend to make sure that this is a very successful launch, and why were very, very confident. The reason for engine guidance is to bracket around the possibilities as weve done. I didnt feel great about the guidance at the mid-point, its well above 10% or higher than this year, and fiscal run rate will be dramatically higher.

Take a deep breath, everyone...
Game Testing is currently ongoing for Star Wars: The Old Republic. This isn't news - it's been ongoing for quite a while. At different points in the process, we have invited a number of people to test. Some of those people tested for short periods, some for longer periods.
We've recently transitioned into longer-term and larger-scale testing. We have more people testing the game now than ever before. We are allowing them to play for longer than ever before. We're also continuing to invite people to test, so if you haven't signed up for testing yet – now is a good time.
We will be allowing more and more people to test The Old Republic before launch, and that means occasionally we'll spike in our invite numbers. It doesn't mean everyone who's signed up for testing is going to be invited in one block.
What we're doing now, essentially, is similar to a ‘Closed Beta’ for other MMORPGs, but we call it Game Testing. It's invite-only, and it's limited in size. That gives us the most 'bang for our buck' in terms of getting meaningful, actionable feedback. However, we're still ramping up, we're getting more people in... and we're still aiming to launch in 2011.
