AndyBuzz: I wonder if there would be an easy way to have the animated one as an extra. It's so pretty. :D
Check this thread for the current attempts, but the image is animated by having a masking image move upwards, through use of css. So there isn't a gif for them to provide us, but only creative use of stylesheets.

WE ARE, WE ARE, WE ARE...
After more than ten years I played it, I still hear it in my ears...

This is a fantastic achievement and I want to thank everyone (including me :) from the entire community who voted for this release. This is my real Valentine :)

I know everyone says that this is the one of the best games in the history.
For me, this is THE BEST GAME CREATED EVER !!!
And I mean it.

And now let's grab that wrench, won't you?
I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned in this thread but there's around 400 posts already and I can't go thru it all to find out but if someone can answer me...

Is the normal price of the game going to be $9.99 or is this the sale price? If it is the sale price, how long is it on sale for?

GOG's original post in this thread or wherever they talk about releasing this game makes no mention of sale/regular price so I'm assuming $9.99 is the going rate for the time being. If thats the case, my backlog tells me I can wait to get this game when it goes on sale. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Yes, that's true. That's why I said an easy way, implying ease of use and ease of transfer.
Gif would be pretty straightforward but rather large. I can't think of anything else that wouldn't involve a player of some kind though.

Edit: Thanks for providing the exact link. :)

Considering how this game once sold for upwards of $300 on Amazon and eBay (and $60 used), $9.99 is a bargain.

GaminggUy45: The Extras have been updated with new content.
I saw, not only is the soundtrack in Mp3, it's also in flac. Awesome! Best release this year.

WBGhiro: I wee'd me pants when it opened it's eyes.
A very nice effect. Get it kiddies before it's pulled...
Thanks for the pricing info all and I'm sure $9.99 is a great price/bargain for those who are huge fans of the game but I've never played the series and am kind of particular about shooters so I don't mind waiting really. Judging by the comments and the overwhelming praise for the game, I'm sure I will like it whenever I do add it to my collection.

Thanks again for the info. :)

Pulled? Haven't you heard? This is how GOG intends to keep the main page, the home of System Shock 2, until the end of time. Or else.

Actually I was making a joke, hoping someone would reply with the "System Shock 2 confirmed" meme and make me feel as though I'm a bluetext for one glorious moment :P But they've all seen right through me like an invisible mutant from level 3.
