JTL for us europeans is:
1. More expensive
2. No perks for pre-ordering
3. Released a few days after it is in US
Whats going on here then?!!!

well, in the Uk at least,
Its £25 , roughly the same price.
I have ordered from the US to get the speeder, its worked out, including postsage, about £28.
All the stores in the UK give exactly the same shipping date.
SOE also announced a while ago its a similtaneous worldwide release.
I think worldwide would include Europe, it did last I checked.

Where did you order yours from for £28, was that the $30 + £15 shipping from gamespot?

Yes, ordered a few to cut down on postage for friends, but the $44-98 including postage from gamespot is about £30 for the single game.
And LOL at the gas price.
I have a condo in Florida, cost a third of the price a holiday home in Europe of the same size.
Its just as cheap to fly from UK to Florida most of the time anyway, than to drive to France or Spain.
We suck in euro land sometimes.

Infact the speeder thing is US, you wont recieve the speeder - at least thats what I've read on another thread. IMO your best bet is play.com for £17.99 inc postage

gamespot has an international order , where you get the speeder.
$29.99 plus $15 for shipping.
It states on the site you get the speeder. You dont get the beta access the US guys do, but Ive got that anyway, you get the live speeder.
Its just linked to a set of CD keys, same as the special edition glasses are.

Ah cool I was reading a thread that said you couldnt get it if your ouside the US (this was a bunch of Canadians complaining infact) It's basically a reskinned AV-21 though and I've got 1 of them already - hardly worth paying almost double and having to wait ages for the shipping, and customs can still slap a VAT charge of about £12 on it if your really unlucky!!!

Agree, probably not worth it really, but its done now, I like collecting useless stuff in game anyway, just something else to add to the list.
I own a business real life, VAT gets lost, if you know what i mean
Dont want to break the NDA, but the rest is inacurate.
