Is the Beta Key for Starcraft II or WotLK?

BlizzCon 2007 attendees received a card when they got their goody bags. This card was separate from the bag and we were all told not to lose it because we weren't getting another one. The card contains the code for the Murloc Suit and a Beta Key for "Future Blizzard Title".
No indication was given during the con as to what the Beta Key was for. And now Morgal has asked for an answer on the forums. Nethaera responds:
Undetermined as of yet.
Assumptions were made before the leaks about the expansion that the key would definitely be for Starcraft II, but now with parts of Wrath of the Lich King already playable, perhaps the Beta Key is for the expansion?
There's a small hope in my heart for the unannounced Diablo 3, but that's just silly. Do you think that Blizzard has actually not decided which game the key is for? Which game would you like to beta test?

I really hope it's for StarCraft 2, mostly because SC2 going into Beta means it's that much closer to release...

Hoping it's SC2, because then it would be worthwhile to find a way to sell the card to Koreans... Seems like as serious as they play SC over there, someone just might mortgage their house to get in the beta:-)

It really irritates me that Blizz lures us out there with promises of a new beta, then they go "hmm, nah we haven't decided yet". It's like they never really intended to give us anything.
The fact that it was an actual key, leads me to think that it was something tangible. Now it's just a carrot on a stick.

I think they havent decided which, they realised they offered free beta entry last time and it was popular and decided to repeat it again.

um.. both. With the attendee choosing. That would be my preference. I play WoW, don't play SC, so I could care less about SC2 beta. I imagine some of the crowd would reverse that.

As I mentioned at the WOW Insider meet, I don't think it's Starcraft II. The card itself states that it's for an 'unannounced' Blizzard game, and Starcraft II has been announced since May 19th of this year.
Wrath of the Lich King was just announced at BlizzCon so I think there's a much better chance that it's for that.
It's hard to say for sure, though!

There is one Blizzcon. There are many Blizzard properties. Why would it need to be limited to just one over the next year, minimum?
And if this irritates you, you fail.

It says right there on the card, "World of Warcraft." I'm assuming that would mean it's for WotLK.

I'd be happy with either SC2 or WoW. Although I think it would be very cool if they let you choose which one.
I may have a problem at that point.
Decisions, Decisions.

What irritates me is the beta sites says my beta key doesn't exist every time I try to enter it.
