    13Th June seems very odd start date as thats on a Saturday, i can see 11Th and 15Th online and it not mentioned , maybe its area specific ?

    Indeed.

    I've had the newsletters for the 11th and the 15th - no mention of this drive on either of those. Not in the North West anyway.

    :confused:

    Have we all been the victims of a cruel hoax?

    :eek:

    Right just got back from getting some pop from my local Lidl and spoke to the manager, there are specials on Saturdays called "Super Saturdays" last time they had some cheap camcorders in, it was only 10 stores across the UK last time , he said they are not having any hard drives and its probably a "Super Saturday" and in a handful of stores again but not mine :(

    A Google seems to suggest this was on sale in Lidls previously, and as early as 2007 elsewhere in Europe, for about £80 or £90.

    If its going to cost £69.99 for a 500Mb hard drive you might aswell go for a 1Tb for the same price!
    You can't be lost if you don't know where you're going.

    They had these drives in my local Lidl today. I wasn't sure that they were going to be the model mentioned earlier in the thread because the picture in the leaflet didn't look quite the same as that one. Sure enough, this model is different: it has USB and eSATA interfaces, but doesn't have the ethernet interface, sadly. It's called the DataBox V500, and I couldn't find it on Targa's sites. I guess it's an updated form of this one, but with a 500GB drive and new styling.
