LOL! Was that a bit confusing? Ok, here goes the simple version:


I ordered JTL Sunday. Is that far enough back for me to get the pre-order prize (flash speeder).


Do you understand that?

No! That promotion was only offered by EB and GameStop

I ordered 3 of pre-order beta discs from Gamestop on 9/7 (I have 3 accounts). I received one of three discs two weeks ago, and have not received the other two yet. Supposedly they are still being processed. I sent an email asking what was up on the 20th, got a response back saying:


Dear Customer,

We are sorry for the inconvenience, we will be sending you 2 more bonus
discs. Thank you for shopping with us!

Your Customer Service Agent Chris


My understanding is that I need both the pre-order beta discs, for the swoop, and the retail discs, to actually play jtl. So far I've received 1 beta disc and no retail discs. I called them today, and someone told me that I should get something maybe next week!!!


Out of curiosity, did you order from GameStop as well??

You had to order through Electronics Boutique or Gamestop and you had to ask for the pre-order box with the beta CD in it.

Umm, Where exactly was ALL THAT STATED? I recieved the routine SWGnewsletter on the 22nd., myself, saw the very same offer listed within, and decided to go ahead and order (the SAME DAY), since it seemed to be a good time to do so, anyways, and the speeder offer was a plus.


First was to click the links in the newsletter itself about the preorder. which then went to one of the SOE/Lucas pages. On it was the same offer, and an additional message simply stating that the pre-order offer was not available thru the Lucas Co. Store, and that orders had to be placed thru one of the 2 listed places at the bottom on the page, which contained links to both EB Games, and Game Stop.


Having been more familiar with EB (Usually bought games from local stores in hte past), I clicked to their site, and it went right to the JTL order page. On the page was just standard ordering into, NOTHING about having to indicate any kind of "seperate" or "special" selection/order, nothing about specifiying any "special pre-order box", Etc.. In Fact, there was only ONE Type JTL order selection, PERIOD. Nothing in the newsletter. Nothing at the company page other then to say you simply had to order thru EB Games or GameStop., Nothing at EB Games. Think I even checked Game Stop, anddidn't see anything different there, either, for that matter.


To make matters worse, the last Email from EB about the order as it was shipped has it showing in the subject as being the Pre-Order version, too, allthough it was NOTthe version thatactually arrived, late this morning...

Exactly!! I also used the SOE link and ordered 10/15 through Gamestop. It never said anything about the preorder flash deal being over. Got two copies and no special disks. I called Gamestop and they said "well, if you had looked at our website on the 14th you would have seen it was ending". The JTL newsletter that came out just a couple days ago still advertised the flash speeder deal.

If it indicates it was the pre-order version, even if you don't get the beta/pre-order disk you may still be in luck in terms of getting your flash speeder. European customers who pre-ordered weren't supposed to get the beta disk and are still supposed to get the pre-order cd-key via email in order to activate their flash speeder bonus. Hopefully EB will do the same for you and email you a pre-order key for your speeder even if it is impractical for them to send you a beta disk for beta which already ended.





Just my thoughts, do with them what you will.

Same here, pre-ordered 2 copies thru GameStop using the SWG links and did not get the Beta CDs with the keys for the Flash Speeder.


Tiggs, can you tell us what we have to do here? Who will handle this? SOE or GameStop/EBGames?


Thanks,

I pre-ordered with EBGames on 10/20. deadline at that time on the swg webpage was 10/22.


I got an email from ebgames tellign me that I had ordered at a point where there were no beta cds but that i would receive a code shortly to let me claim my speeder. (its a speeder not a swoop- ie slow as heck) so.. It seems I'm set (eventually)


From reading the swg webpage I got the impression you had to register to be in the beta (not actually BE in the beta) to get this; so i did so and (no suprise) never go invited (lol 2 days before it ended) --- we'll see if im ok whenever i get the code from ebgames

Same here, exact same story for me but with Gamestop.
