I was invited into beta long time ago but I pre ordered to get the speeder. I just got the beta cd today. My question is how do I claim my speeder in game live when the JTL beta has ended.

hmmmm...pretty sure you can't do it...read a post the other day that if u hadn't jumped into beta by Oct X then you couldn't do it. You should have preordered it sooner

What?? I sure hope that's not true.
I pre-ordered and have had the CD for a week or two, but had already been accepted into the Beta.
Since there was no need for me to install the CDs or enter the Beta CD Key, I never did.
If I'm now screwed out of my pre-order speeder because of this, there will be some hell raised.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat.

I don't think that is correct. I believe that SOE has assured us in another thread and on the info posted on launchpad that anyone who preordered the game will get their special vehicle. You probably just need to enter the account key on the beta disk to do so. Then again, this whole preorder "incentive" promotion that they have been shoving down are throats seems very disorganized...I can't count the number of posts I've seen in which people are clearly confused about the promotion because SOE didn't give us enough info

it'd been said a few times that you needed to enter the beta cd key over top of any prior invitation keys if you wanted credit for the speeder. honestly...the speeder is crap...u aren't missing much

Any other way to get the speeder??? Is there like a quest in the game to get it?

i was in early beta and also got the cd for the speeder. go to your account settings and their is an option to upgrade account with a code. click the button and put in the speeder code and it will be added to your account.
I know this works because a few days after i entered the code i got my naboo speeder on Beta.

If you have a Pre-Order BETA CD you CAN get your speeder IF you ordered from EB Games or Gamestop. Any other Pre-order company does not offer the Flashspeeder.
To get your flash speeder, just Register Expansion on the left side after you login but before you begin "Play"
Hope this helps.

I preordered JTL from EBGames about 4 days before the beta ended so I didn't get the bets CD. However, after my order was shipped they did send me the following email:

Obviously, SOE and EBGames are trying to ensure that all preorders will include an activation key for the flash speeder regardless of when the preorder was made. I tohught I'd post this for the benefit of al those who are freaking out about the lack of clarity on preorders.

no i think all you have to do is register it under the register expansion, as well as registering the actual game, having both codes will signal that u recieve the flash speeder

It would be really nice if someone at SOE actually made a comment about all of this. I pre-ordered my copies from GAMESTOP well in advance to ensure that I would be able to get the Flash Speeder. Unfortunately I didn't received the Bonus CD in time to get into the final phase of the Beta, and the JTL boxes arrived first shortly after things went live so I fired them up and have been playing away at that.
I still however am trying to get the Bonus that I pre-ordered a I'd really like my speedersThe latest e-mail from GAMESTOP received today contained just an activation key (No instructions or anything else) When I went to the site that I found detailed here, http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/jtlpreorder all I got was the sign-up for the Combat UpgradeTestingBeta. I followed that through and at the very end it asked for a Beta Key, so I put in the one GAMESTOP provided .....
"Sorry - This account has already been registered" .... GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
I'll log a support call with SOE in the hope that someone there can help out, but to be honest, from what I have seen on these forums (ie NOTHING!) I am not expecting a great deal of help....
