On a serious note, you can get a free d3 beta for $144 wow annual pass get it automatically...
Diablo III FREE – Download the digital version via Battle.net for free when the game launches. This is the full game, not a trial edition.
This. Just because it means you get Diablo 3, doesn't mean you get a beta. You get the full version when it launches. In early 2012. People pay it because they are impatient and want to experience it.
Athough I do have to agree with you to some extent. I wouldn't waste money on a Diablo 3 beta, especially now since its closer to launch. I agree that putting that money on an annual pass is better money spent, but hey, it's their money. Let them do what they want with it, imo.
