I doubt anyone that went to buy the item actually thought it was €69. I would put good money on most people assuming it was human or system error and trying to get a cheap machine before the issue was fixed. If they advertised for €69 and charged everyone €549 that would be false advertising and would be worth going to the NCA about.

Think if it's just a case of human error , it doesn't have to be honoured.

My credit card wasn't debited so I don't think they honoured the contract. They are protected by law in this case. They have made an invitation for an offer, a PC for €69 but in order for this to be a binding contract they have to complete the transaction and debit your card. If this has happened then as far as I'm aware they have to honour the agreement and send out the goods. This may explain why some people received the computer and others didn't.
