Your most certianly welecome! I had seen too many questions about this subject unanswered so I had to go and at least make the effort. Im just glad it was a usefull endevor!

As to the question if you can get it at the store or online, last I heard both. EB is who I ended up going through. They were the ones with the speeder guarenteed. Sadly I cant be much help on anything else.

Well, I did it. I went and called Lucasarts store concerning the pre-order from the LA store and if you get the speeder or not. They, sadly, had no clue and said the people at SOE have the info since it was an "In game" Issue. Silly me I did not get the persons name of who I talked to.

So, i got into the SOE online chat area and got a CSR. The following is a copy of the transcript with my personal info removed for my own state of mind.

You have been connected to CSR Bill C..CSR Bill C.: Hello xxxxxx, Thank you for contacting Sony Online Entertainment. One moment please, while I read your question. Thank You!

xxxxxx: Hello Bill!CSR Bill C.: Hi there.CSR Bill C.: Will check on this, standby.

xxxxxx: Thank you for looking into it. It seems rather trivial but it is an issue on the SWG boards that no one seemed to have an answer for. So I thought id take it and ask.CSR Bill C.: It appears that the flash speeder is only being offered in retailers such as EB games, this is given for all preorders. We will not be offering them.

xxxxxx: Excellent! Do I have your permission to paste this conversation into the SWG boards?xxxxxx: I also do appreciate your time and effort looking into this for all of us who was askingCSR Bill C.: You sure can, in fact we do not sell Galaxies at all, they are officially sold at the Lucasarts store.CSR Bill C.: Retailers such as EB games and Gamestop are offering this pre-order promotion I believe.

xxxxxx: Thats strange that the CSR at Lucasarts store said to talk to you guys hehe. That doesent inspire confidence. But at least you knew what was going on!xxxxxx: Well that covers my question. Ill let you get back to the other waiting customers. Thank you for your time!CSR Bill C.: Is there anything else I can help you with today xxxxxx?

xxxxxx: Thats all! Thank you Bill!

Well, there ya go. The closest thing we have to an offical source on who is offering the speeder and beta acceptance. I hope this helps people here. Its helped me.

Don't forget though, that those that have been playing SWG for 6 months without an account interruption at the time JTL goes live will get a luxury cruise ship much like the one Lando has. Also according the the SWG site it will be indestructible.
