I'm not promoting this at all. It looks to be a meh deal. But in terms of the USB flash drives, yes, they're definitely overpriced but at least they're speed rated high. They're not the slow-ass 16 GB drives for $10 after rebate that you find on the web.
Have you tried using a slow USB drive on the 360? you'll pull your hair out waiting for stupid things like your profile to load.
there's a place for big thumbdrives on the cheap. but there's also a place for really fast flash memory.
I upgraded the flash memory on my digital camera, and it made huge differences.
