Amazon are selling the relatively new Samsung S2 external 2.5" 500GB USB hard disk drive for £53 - but only if you buy the 'Michael Jackson' version!

The drive is smaller than most USB 2.5" drives and uses less power from your USB slot. You can easily carry the drive in your jacket pocket. It derives all power from the USB port. In short, it is useful as an external disk drive for a laptop/netbook as well as a backup for your main computer.
The drive is compatible with PC and MAC and includes a 3 user licence of the movie 'This is it' - based on the last two months of Michael Jackson's life. If you want the disk drive (without the movie) it is around £7 more!
The software bundle includes automated backup and an encrypted file utility, but I am unsure if MAC versions of these are supplied.
All-in-all, a top-notch product at a bargain price. If you don't like the Michael Jackson picture on the casing - just keep the drive in the supplied leatherette sleeve. The disk drive is pre-formatted with FAT32 but can be re-formatted to NTFS if required.
