Hey, that's the first time I won something! I wonder: could we get a gallery with all entries? Preferably with some way to vote on them? I'm sure I'm not the only one who has sent in an entry that's worth reading :)

Don't know yet... I mean, there's a big announcement coming tomorrow and I kinda feel like waiting for that. I just bought the Oddworld package, so it won't be that one. Maybe the Feeble Files? Got to wait for the announcement :)
Sweet! The merch store is open! Now I can get that GOG hoodie I always... what? No hoodies!? Aw, man... what about hats? No hats either!? Just T-shirts, stickers and mouse pads... hmmm. Well, here's hoping that "Coming Soon" includes more variety.
Maybe I'll get a T-shirt anyway.

Nope, we cannot be trusted with HTML :) Anyway, I updated my first post with a link to a Google webalbum containing the images I could find... if anybody else wants theirs listed as well, jsut send them to me.
Congratulations hansschmucker!
I think you are wise to wait, you won't have long to wait.
Cheers!
Congrats dude, I didn't enter so I don't have much of a platform to say this, but I still don't think it was funny.
Congratulations mate.
Personally, I didn't find it funny. But something tells me that there are a lot of WoW players at GOG. :p
Yes well done mate ! I think the Feeble Files would by my decision as well...
Congrats! (but i liked the first version with less text more :D)
Whoa! I knew it will come one day, but I didn't think it will be so fast! Merchandise store FTW!
Also, congratulations Hans!

I hope the quality of Cafepress' merchandise has gone up since the last time I bought from them. I have a shop there myself (for my gaming community), and of the 6 different items I've bought there, 4 were flawed in some way.
Also, people outside the US should be aware that customs fees may raise the end-price of your purchase considerably. From the Cafepress shipping information page:
"Items shipped internationally via economy shipping may incur customs duties and import tax. Please note that additional charges for customs clearance may be collected and are the responsibility of the recipient.
For Express shipping, duties and taxes are included in your checkout price."

I don't know about that last statement. I don't see any way they can legally make this claim. What I do know is that when I bought the 6 items I did from my own shop, I ended up paying about 60 percent more than the combined cost of the products themselves, in shipping and customs fees. I live in Denmark, and I don't know how much you pay in customs fees in other countries, but you might want to check it before buying anything from Cafepress, lest you get a nasty surprise.
I do think it's great that GOG has a merchandise store now, but for a European company, I think it's sad that they chose a vendor that only ships from the US.

Holy moly! 60 percent?! That's insane.
Although the military-coloured shirt with the bright green logo looks mighty fine. Though I'll be looking forward to more products (I have enough shirts as it is already).
