Just filled in the survey, there wasn't a website bit where x404 could be nominated!

Has anyone actually won one of the prizes ever?

I've won two Dennis competitions in the past (cant remember which mags). One was for a sat nav suite for Nokia phones before they were commonplace and the other was a Zalman media pc case.

This has reminded me that I should be getting my first of three Computer Shopper issues soon (and small Maglite torch). Not bad for a quid ;)

Also that I'm gonna see if there's any deals going on a GamesMaster subscription... I've found myself really enjoying their writing and different take on stuff :)

I won a pair of gaming headphones, sold them for £80 though as I didn't really use them.

How were they different to regular headphones?

Higher DPI? I bet it's that. Or customisable weight settings.

I won a game from the DUMP when I guessed where the editor? had gone on holiday in Europe. Everyone posted the countries but they missed out Switzerland. I won.

OK, I'm finally going to ask, what does DUMP stand for?

dennis user meeting place,

The combined meeting place for all dennis mags (pcpro, macuser, computerbuyer, computershopper etc). It was the old haunt where we were brought together by our love of computers and a subscription to a dennis magazine, before we were let down abysmally, never to return.

They were a set of these clicky
Digital optical input, 8 speakers and uber comfy. Just couldn't justify keeping them as I hardly used them.

I won Adobe Creative Suite 2 in a MacUser competition. Very pleased with that. :)
