    Signed up. Odd they don't ask about previous testing experience, which is a shame since it'd drastically increase my chances of getting in I imagine.

    I'm wondering the same thing. It's meant to be in April, and the month's almost over.

    Since when is the midpoint of a month when it's "almost over"?

    I logged into Steam on the PC today and they had a link to the PC Beta of the new client. I guess the Mac version will lag behind it a bit.

    Hmmm... this seems strange to me. why wouldn't you include this key info?

    (Unless you wanted to generate extra link bait by posting these pictures in a later post maybe?)

    I'm guessing no one here got into the Beta? Or if you get in can you not tell anyone?

    Give it overnight - the rumour I heard was that it was being released Monday (but it's not yet Monday in the US).
    A heck-load of trades.

    Well it is definitely past Monday so I guess it has been delayed a bit.

    I don't think it matters much anymore - we've finally got an actual date for the OSX release: May 12 (which likely means the 13th for us in Oz).

    The fact it's from Gamasutra is actually a good sign (being they're industry based & whatnot). Fingers crossed it doesn't slip any further into Valve time

    Here is another report of the Valve press release so 12 May looks solid: Valve Announces May 12th Debut for Steam on Mac OS X - Mac Rumors

    How's this for an update. I have the leaked Steam beta client, noticed it received another update and I can now download and play TF2 + Mac Portal and I am not enrolled in the closed beta.
