With the much anticipated USB flash drive update to the Xbox 360 last week, comes the not so much anticipated overpriced 8 and 16GB Xbox 360 flash drives by SanDisk. Over at Gamestop.com you can find these two specially designed flash drives for $39.99 and $69.99 respectively. This would be great if only Microsoft's prices would be even a little bit competitive with the 'normal' competition. What I mean is that right now you can go to Amazon.com and find up to 4 pages of 16GB flash drives by SanDisk and a few other big names for as little as $27.99. on Average you looking to spend about $35 give or take with shipping and handling.
The Microsoft branded flash drives are listed to come preloaded with the updated Xbox Live update software, a one (1) month free of Xbox Live Gold Membership and a few other things that don't make a difference from any other flash drive.
At first I was excited when I heard about Microsoft making their own flash drives for the Xbox 360. I as many other people out there would love to have more things branded by Microsoft with there Xbox 360 logo. But when your charging more then double the price, its really hard to justify making this kind of purchase.
