Here's a list of sites giving away beta keys in some competitions.
First off heres another good thread being kept up to date on diablo.incgamers.com:
Chrisek has a key to give away if u follow on twitter and retweet... pretty high demands.. kinda annoyed to have to follow people i dont care about but w/e.
Diablo 3 database - 5 keys. Go there, try out the very cool equipment planner on their site, copy the link, provide an email address and you are entered. Giveaway complete Oct 2. 12:00 PM EST
Shady Gold Trading Site (news posted by Flux on main page - use caution - may not be legit) - 3 keys. Giveaway complete Oct. 4 12:00
Chineese Photo contest? - Not sure on details or if its open to NA. Check thread for details.
MMOGA- A random German site with a couple beta keys to give away. I used google crome to translate the page, 2 entrys one with email + 1 with facebook.
If you come across anything please PM me and I'll add to OP
Being that the beta is still in Friends N Family and Media invites I'd be very skeptical about this. Also, from personal experience, I didn't use a beta "key" at all. It just appeared above StarCraft 2 in my list of available games on my Battle.net account. In fact, the beta doesn't even require an authenticator to access the game, just your Battle.net email address and password. That being said, these sites would have to be giving away Battle.net accounts...not sure how that would work.

Thats incorrect. The first wave of keys has been given out. It looks like blizzard has given out keys to several fan sites so that they can run these types of contests can run. They will be giving away a key, which can be added to your account as you would any other game.

That is the biggest load of crap i've ever read. Blizzard IS handing out keys. The game IS in closed beta and the first wave invites ARE out.
"We’d like to remind those looking forward to an invite to be wary of phishing attempts. If you believe you’ve received an invite to the Diablo III beta test, it’s best to refrain from clicking on any links in the email, and instead log in to your Battle.net account to see if a Diablo III beta game account was granted. Or, if you were sent a key, attempt to add it manually by going to the Add or Upgrade a Game section of the Battle.net account management page."

Thats probably still better odds than being selected by the Blizzard lotto though
Yeah but blizzard lotto just happens. I'd rather wait and feel awesome for getting one than doing all this work and not getting one, but that is just me.
I don't like the contests that are just like follow me here, follow us there, subscribe to us here, facebook me, tweet this. I prefer the submission contests .
Ive watched a couple of videos posted. I wont do it because I suck at accents in my mother tongue which is not english so not a contest for me but I'm dispaointed by everything I watched.
Here are some advice to someone trying this contest: - Impersonation through voice is not enough, don't post a picture of Cain and just dub it. You gotta show body language impersonation. Look at D3 beta try to get one or two hint, if you cannot guess through these videos just impersonate a very old man bent on his cane. I'm disapointed at some just showing there faces sitted at the computer. Look at deckard cain face in recent art works, torn, old, mimic it.
- Practice and warm yourself. For the voice its hard you may have it or not there is no real tips.
- Get a few (but not too much) accessories while showing your impersonation, a cane, an old coat and/or a fake beard. I'd probably get just a cane and long sleeves.
- Cut the "Sit while and listen" hundreds have done it already, get another quote or if youre very creative a funny one or typical without it being overused.
Might take you some time but hey you have one chance over hundreds, you gotta stand out.
Thats a shame some impersonations are very good but the guy just sit there on his computer chair with his face zoomed in.
i dont know, the chance is so slim atm and the fever is passed. Im so sad now that i still dont have a key... And im not gona enter those registering account contest, i already see pages of comments and its most likely i wont be able to play.
i guess i will just play dota2 while waiting for opt-in beta invite i guess :<
