Did I miss something, or was there not an answer to the most pertinent DCUO question--have they set a release date? Is there even info on participating in beta testing?

Unless DC does the same thing Marvel did and flushes the project at the last minute, there's no way Marvel and Gazillion will have a functional MMO up and running before DCUO debuts (whenever that may be).

Marvel talked about having two MMO's in the works at one of the SDCC panels. I doubt it'll be out within even a year of DC Online, but if the DC delays keep going, is all I'm sayin'...
