Players can now register for a chance to be in the Wrath of the Lich King Beta. Simply go to your account management page and click the “Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In” link, as seen below.
There’s no mention of the beta opening date, but it can’t be too long now…
[blue=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=7736884399&pageNo=1&sid=1#0]Today we opened the Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In program, which gives players a chance to win an invitation to the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King beta. For The Burning Crusade beta, we randomly invited players from the entire World of Warcraft community. With the Opt-In, our goal is to strengthen the beta-testing process by inviting only those players who have expressed active interest in participating.
Keep in mind that opting in doesn’t guarantee you’ll be selected for the beta. And players who’ve previously been promised beta access through a promotion or contest (such as by purchasing the Dell XPS M1730 World of Warcraft Edition notebook) don’t need to worry—you’ll still be entered into the beta automatically when the time comes.

Update: US page is now online. Thanks Leviathon.
and this is probably what the German CM meant (and shouldn’t have said)... that *registration* for the beta would open on July 3rd.
In any event, this is good news… I’d imagine the beta will open in a couple of weeks if they’re opening signups.
