Warhammer Online delayed until "fall"

This just in from Eurogamer: Jeff Hickman from EA Mythic told the press today that WAR will be delayed until "fall" of this year, no exact date given. At the same press conference the content of the collector's edition was revealed. Curiously that package contains "access to the open beta", there must be something I don't understand about the term "open". Or maybe this is just about you being able to keep your beta character for release, as many games do now.
