I even went to SOE Customer service where they connected me to a Live CSR and this is what they said a week prior to order JTL online.
I wanted to make sure I got the Flash Speeder for pre-ordering. So does anyone know how to get the FLASH speeder if you pre-ordered online?
Apparently SOE says you get one.
You have been connected to CSR Ethan H..
CSR Ethan H.: Hello Jared, Thank you for contacting Sony Online
Entertainment. One moment please, while I read your question. Thank You!
Jared -----: ok
CSR Ethan H.: For the freenies you need to pre-order before 26th
CSR Ethan H.: *freebies
Jared Nebel: ok i ordered online thru gamestop..is this a way of
getting it?
CSR Ethan H.: Yes
Jared -----: instead of picking up the game at the store when it comes
out next week?
Jared -----: ok great then i wont cancel my order then..thank you for
veriufying
CSR Ethan H.: You can do either way
Jared -----: cool...ok great have a good one
Jared -----: =)
CSR Ethan H.: Is there anything else I can help you with today Jared?
Jared -----: nope thats it...have a one one in Calif
Jared -----: cya
CSR Ethan H.: Thank you for visiting our SOE Chat line, Jared. Take
care and have a Good Day!

I ordered on 18th October because it said I would get the beta disk and flashs peeder, I do not have the beta disk or flash speeder.
Whats going on? more false advertising? whos fault is this and I would definatly want my speeder.

I got mine through Gamestop without any problems, and i ordered from the UK....
I think they did say something about "While Stocks Last"
All the best

If you read all the pre-order websites.. it clearly states "WHILE SUPPLIES LAST". This is how it is with any pre-order and especially beta. Considering the speeder key code is the same as the beta key code (they come on the same disk), if they run out of BETA invites, they run out of speeders.
If you were'nt fortunate enough to get a speeder, don't worry. You didn't pay anything extra for it so you're not getting the "shaft" it's a bonus for pre-ordering for SOME.
Hope that helps.

I just got my JTL delivered to my hands here in the UK today... I pre-ordered on the 16th from Gamestopand only received the one disk too, I suppose (I'm at work and yet to try it) that I shall be denied my speeder. If so, I'll be hassling some CSR somewhere until they give me one!
(I'd better get my pleasure barge too!)

Never mind - I think I worked it out (you just go back into the expansion registration and put the other key in right?)

The issue is not with gamestop, I also pre-ordered my game there. The issue is sony did not ship enough beta disks to cover it's JTL launch. Gamestop placed it's own deadline for beta disks, which was the 14th. They removed all references of the flash speeder on that date (didn't put anything saying you WEREN'T going to get it either).
The Problem lies with sony. Gamestop doesn't make the beta disks, only distributes them. They're a retailer. SONYplaced the link from the launchpad touting the flash speeder, and gave a link to 4 websites where you could preorder and recieve game and speeder. They are: Amazon, Gamestop, EB games, and Lucasarts.
I never recieved a Beta disk either, I ordered my game on the 23rd. But after talking to reps from both gamestop, sony and SOE, I have finally recieved it. Here's the breakdown:
Gamestop did not recieve enough data disks to cover the JTL launch.
Gamestop doesn't make them, only distributes them for SOE.
SOE placed an outdated and innacurate link to preorder JTL, touting a "flash speeder bonus". Two of the company's listed to preorder from never even had beta disks, And none were shipping them to the U.K. This was mentioned nowhere on the page, nor a deadline.
In essence, it's S.O.E'S BAD.

Don't listen to all the unhelpful a--holes who will tell you "your SOL"or "you should have read the website better". Gamestop had a "while supplies last".
That's not the point. Point is SOE OWES YOU A SPEEDER BECAUSE IT SAYS SO ON THE LINK TO PREORDER
Call soe online at (858) 790-7827. Explain to the rep when you talk to him that you preordered the game. If you're account shows that the game is a preorder he will flag your account for a speeder. Sony realized they made a mistake but it's up to you to follow through on it and get your speeder.
I got my speeder this way through persistance and not paying attention to the "haha shoulda payd attention" posts from the uninformed.
hope you enjoy your speeder m8.
