I just want to let you know that European players are not eligible to get the flash-speeder as Ireceived the following mail as answer when I mailed to EB Games about the bonus disk:
Snip------------------------------------------

I spent a lot of money just for shipping and I was not even able to cancel my order (have not been able to edit it for at least two weeks...
) so it would have been nice if they had informed me beforehand...

What the...? Nice, guess you could spend half money to buy the same game without speeder in a local shop without being charged for expensive delivery...

Contact your credit card company, dispute the order. your card company will then sort it out and if you were unable to cancel it due to ebgames problems then you wont have any charges. Then the mess will be sorted out by the others.
Ive cancelled my order because of the date for UK being pushed back with 1 days notice? so we have to wait 2 more weeks.

I believe this is why Gamestop had 2 seperate pages for the US Continental Bonus offer and the International Bonus offer, this disc itself if differant for each version, with the US version containing a beta version of JTL (kinda useless now) but i don't believe either EBGames or Gamespot were allowed to distribute this outside the US (the reasons for this i'm unsure of, may have something to do with the fact that both companies would have had to charge a rather large sum for what was essentially a Demo of the game .. even if it was purely on delivery), but the International Bonus Disc is still still being shipped outside the US by Gamespot

They are just talking about the bonous disk. You will still get your flash speeder... it has already been dev confirmed that Euro players will recieve the speeder.

The bonus-disk is the flash-speeder if I got that correctly. And, yes: it has been dev-confirmed that everyone who preordered would get the flash-speeder but it currently looks like as if realitywould bea bit different. 
nvm: I found the last post from Thunderheart regarding this:
So it looks like I am screwed after all!
