    Hmm. Maybe a monitor for data entry in an office/accounting department?

    Yeah it's a terminal. So it links up to a main computer somewhere. Could have been used for anything really!

    Not sure if you can get RGB into them without doing a bit of hackery. Would be nice to see what the video quality is like on it.

    Could anybody link me to a proper RGB scart for a ps2? I just got a ps2 and have been looking on ebay/amazon/adverts but not sure if I'm looking at legit cables or not!

    Someone on the tesco bargain alert thread got a Wii U 8gb basic version for 114euro, was 228.

    Finding one might be a challenge.

    In the uk at the moment they are selling the wiiu off cheap and the 3ds which with the new one mightn't be much use to folks here. But the wiiu pro controller is only £10 so that around 13€ here. If you can find one.

    Including Retr0's fave Republic Commando!

    Seriously though, that's an amazing bundle, especially now the franchise is in the ascendant once again.

    Nice bundle, grabbed it when I saw it.

    Had a game of Empire at War earlier, always enjoyed its space battles... but playing it today reminded me how much better Star Trek: Armada was. There's a game I'd love to play again but it's disappeared into licensing limbo :-(

    It's not a bad game, just Rainbow Six Lock(Dumb)down for kiddies. Nothing special but not exactly Rise of the Robots.

    I'll wait to see what else get's released announced in the bundle before putting my money down, I own everything I want on that and really hate the force unleashed games.

    I think it's a little easier to claim them if you make an account on the Humble Bundle website. I haven't used it myself, but if I remember correctly once you pay it should give you the option to redeem on Steam. Once you click the redeem button it should ask you to sign in with your steam I.D, then steam guard if you have that enabled.

    There's probably an option to just get the key and add them individually through steam if you didn't want to bother with all of that.

    https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/categories/200166394-Steam

    There's the steam FAQ page if you'd like to have a look through it

    Honest to glob lads,
    This is the cheapest NTSC N64 I've seen.
    Now powersupply, controllers or cables, but if you already have a PAL console they are all compatible, and with this you can play US and Jap games.
    And for only €20.

    If it's any of the stock that was there last week which I'd say it is, it's literally sports titles. Nothing of interest at all but handy I suppose for some replacement cases.
