Je sens que, rien qu'à la lecture de ce titre, beaucoup d'entre vous vont vérifier s'ils n'ont pas reçu un mail de gog.com avec le précieux Sésame permettant de leur donner tout votre argent.

Au moment où j'écris ces lignes, ce n'est pas encore le cas, mais dans les coulisses, le site se prépare à accueillir une horde de joueurs (on espère qu'ils ont étudié les concepts de file d'attente et de répartition de charge).

En attendant, ils ont déjà mis en ligne les détails de leur promotion "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" et, parce que vous m'êtes décidément bien sympathiques, vous trouverez les détails de cette promotion ci-dessous.

Ok, so you’re probably thinking that this is way too amazing to be true, right? You are not dreaming – we’re actually giving you a free game. Here’s how it works. Generally the idea is that if you buy a game at GOG.com during the Early Access Beta, you'll be granted a bonus code which will allow you to get one free game from GOG.com's Interplay catalogue. Before you start sending us chocolates, flowers and other presents, please read the rules listed below. You have to fulfill all of them to receive the code.

Promotion rules:

1. You need to have signed up for the Early Access Beta between July 10 and September 7.
2. You have to register an account at GOG.com with the same email address as the one you've signed up with.
3. You must place your first order during the Early Access Beta, between September 8 and September 21 at 11:59pm (EDT).
4. You have to love classic PC games!

After your first order is successfully completed ($$$ cha-ching! $$$), you will receive an email with the bonus code. You can redeem the bonus code on the payment screen when placing an order. Just move your cursor over the "Redeem coupon code" option, enter the code into the text field that appears and click on the "Redeem" button. Be sure to enter all symbols in the code including the dash (-) and remember that the codes are case-sensitive.

IMPORTANT: you must remember that the bonus code:

1. only works if you're buying ONE game at a time (i.e. you choose download now or you only have 1 game in your shopping cart),
2. is valid until September 22 at 11:59pm (EDT), 2008,
3. works only with Interplay games.

Ceux qui ne sont pas encore inscrits chez GoG n'auront que leurs yeux pour pleurer, et devront probablement attendre le 23 septembre pour l'ouverture officielle. Enfin, cette date du 23 septembre est pure spéculation de ma part sur base de la validité du code bonus.
