8GB Xbox 360 Sandisk USB flash drive is daylight robbery

Trust Microsoft to impose draconian controls on their Xbox 360 console, where plugging in a hard drive will see your console recognize only 16GB of storage space. Ah well, they have an official solution to this – an insanely expensive $40 for an 8GB Xbox 360 USB flash drive from Sandisk. Yes, you read that right – imagine forking out triple the amount and getting 500GB from an external hard drive if Microsoft did their homework right. Ah well, this is capitalism at its best, and we’ll have to learn to live with such instances from time to time.
