We heart these USB drives made from GBA carts

8Bit Memory, the
Etsy merchant who first caught our attention with its
external hard drives disguised as NES cartridges, has rolled out another re-use for a proprietary Nintendo storage medium: Game Boy Advance cartridges retrofitted as USB flash drives. They're not cheap -- an 8GB drive is $49.99 -- but they're undeniably cool.
The standard-issue drive comes housed in a
Super Mario Advance cart with a key ring and (unfortunately) non-retractable USB connector. 8Bit Memory says it has other games in stock (with more to come) so you can, for instance, request a
Metroid Fusion cart instead. We're not sure what it'll do with GameCube and Wii discs, But we'd imagine a
Wind Waker desk clock would look mighty nice.
