Adorable Master Chief mimobot USB flash drives
They're so cute! The first time you hold one of Mimoco's Master Chief mimobot USB flash drives you want to play with it like a doll action figure, but then you realize you're a big boy now and keep that imagination in check. The Halo mimobots are an officially licensed limited edition series of USB flash drives. There's 5,000 of the Master Chief one and 3,000 each of the Red and Blue Spartans. They officially don't go on sale until Oct. 18 (to coincide with E for All), but you can always pre-order if you know you "must has Mastah Chief storin ur dataz."
The Halo mimobots don't come empty, they'll contain Halo-related content like wallpapers, screensavers, soundBytes, unpublished pages of the upcoming Marvel Halo comic, sections of the Halo 3 strategy guide, excerpts from the upcoming Halo novel and an exclusive episode of This Spartan Life. The USB 2.0 drives are PC, Mac (Xbox 360, PS3) compatible and come in three different capacities: 1GB ($50), 2GB ($70) and 4GB ($110). Mimoco also has a Star Wars and Happy Tree Friends series too. Definitely a nice alternative to boring flash drives, and if you really want one it's probably not a good idea to wait until Oct. 18. Wonder if there'll be Brute and Arbiter versions next?

This should have definitely been on the list of items that should not have been made.

Even though I'm not a huge Halo fan (I actually think it's a bit overrated, but were all entitled to opinions) I still may grab one of these.
It IS PS3 compatible and, I mean, come on...it's a USB data drive with all sorts of digital swag stored away on it. Might upload wallpapers for my XMB and confuse some of my friends who come over. :P
And despite its Haloyness it IS a useful data drive.

the r2d2 one they have is cool, but way overpriced
i got a 1 gig flash stick for like 15 bucks, that bonus content they have can't be worth 45 bucks

uh no, this is what we call a cheap, third rate piece of shit that shamelessly screams "hey, look at me! i'm halo merchandise, too!"

No such thing as a limit to merchandising.

Not toys! But I like that idea. Anyone knows where to get Super Mario USB flash drives?
