The great news is that Videoguys now has this drive (model #LF-D311SC) available $499.95!

Our first shipments arrived in late August. We will be carrying the OEM version of this drive. It will not have a pretty box and it will not have any extra bundled software. It will have a manual and drivers. The "Branded" retail version of this drivewill not be available until October. The OEM drives come with a full Panasonic 1 year warranty, just like the retail version will when it ships.
