I've still been seeing on these boards and reports in game that is still making me unsure and unclear about this preorder with speeder deal. Do you or do you not have to preorder from the EB and Gamespot sites? Cause I pre-ordered from one of my local EB's. Granted the supplies last deal which I understand could be the reason I may not get it, but is the web part important? I pray it isn't. I really just want the speeder and the game. I don't care, nor do I have time to play beta.
No, you do not have to pre-order online to get the bonus disk. But not all local Gamestop and EBGames storeswill be getting the disks.So the only problem is determining which local Gamestop/EBGames store to order from.
If you pre-ordered online from either Gamestop or EBGames, you were pretty much guaranteed a disk - and until their website drops the bonus offer, you should still be guaranteed the promo disk. This is why ppl are saying if you want a bonus disk order online.
In my area, I know of one Gamestop manager that actually knew about the JTL promo before it was shipped to his store. Every other manager/employee (EBGames included) didn't know if their store would receive the promo.
By now, many of us who pre-ordered (and live in the states) have received our bonus disks either from our online pre-orders or from our in-store pre-orders. Your best bet would be to call the local stores in your area to find out if they received the disks. If they have, I doubt you'll get the disk unless you find a store that has copies left...or unless you go online and see if Gamestop or EBGames is still offering it. And if the store you pre-ordered from knows nothing about the disk...I'd really doubt that they'll be getting it at this point. Keep calling local stores or just go online if you can to try to get your disk.

quit whining atleast you had a chance to get it think about every1 outside america they cant get the bonus disc.
I know that if you pre-ordered from Gamestop or EBGames there was a link for international customers to receive the bonus disk. The only thing you wouldn't have would be the chance to beta JTL through the bonus offer. You would still receive the Nabooian flash speeder though, as the bonus would ship when JTL ships.
If I'm wrong, correct me...but I know the websites made this clear. (I'd be puzzled as to how I could be wrong on this one)

There is a place under the account options - a new clicky that allows one to register key (or whatever it's called). My guess is that this is where you will enter that code to receive your flash speeder - even if you couldn't enter it for the actual beta.
Just make sureyour online order shows that you will be getting the bonus disk. Then take it from there. If you get the disk (which is available for international customers through EBGames and Gamestop online), then you will get the flash speeder. If not, EBGames and Gamestop deserve whatever lawsuit they get.

I ordered yesterday on Gamestop two copies (one for a friend) of the International version, I think/hope that we'll receive a code to enter when we'll register JTL that will also give usthe speeder. It's interesting that Gamestop isn't selling it more, perhaps they finished the discs, or because there are onlytwo weeks to the release. Infact, the link on the SWG homepage goes to the LucasArts store and it doesn't speak of any kind of bonus.

The copy of your order through Gamestop should state that it's "JTL with Bonus!" - or something similar. If it doesn't say that on your order, I'd call to see what the deal is.
I know it's just a flash speeder, but hey, I hope you get it.

the flash speeder was just a gimmick by gamestop to get more people to pre-order through them, just as the beta is with the other place.

How can this be when they both offered the same thing?

I've checked on Gamestop, the order contains:
SW Jump Lightspeed CD Inet 1 $0.00 Usually ships in 24 hours
Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed 1$29.99 Pre-Release ETA: 10/26/04
SW Jump Lightspeed CD Inet 1 $0.00 Usually ships in 24 hours
Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed 1 $29.99 Pre-ReleaseETA: 10/26/04
I think that SW Jump Lightspeed CD Inet is the the bonus CD, when I ordered there was still "JTL with bonus!".
Someone who lives in the USA andhas already received the disk can confirm this?A last question,
will I get 2 bonus discs? Because I've red that someone, who ordered 2 copies, got onlyone bonus disc.
Ifit's soI'll have to think about amistake in the order for my friend 
.
.Thank you !

If I were you, I'd call to double check on the "Inet" thing. But then, I'm ultra-careful about little things like that - I want to see "bonus" not "Inet." But, it looks good for you anyway. Congrats!
As for your question, I have 3 accounts. Pre-ordered 3 copies of JTL. EBGames sent me 3 copies of the bonus disk. You should receive one disk for each copy of JTL you receive, as the bonus is per the game, not per person.

I got my bonus cds from Gamestop and my bill said same thing INET so that what it is..... there are direction on the cd case that tells you how to enter the bonus cd key to claim your speeder when JTL goes live.

OK.
/hi Quartax 
Anyone has new info on that? I know that the speeder is still available on EBGames, but not anymore on Gamestop.com and since Gamestop was the only store that ships to Czech Republic we are, well, in a very bad position now.
Can anyone confirm (either some DEV input or email from Gamestop) that they won't have the speeder anymore?

On both websites the key phrase was "while supplies last". The longer people waited the greater chance they had of losing out on the promotional offer. Gamestop must have run out of CDs, or they pulled the offer because beta ends next Friday.
