The 360 Flash Drive: Greatest cash-in scam in history.

It works on your Xbox 360 just like a real, functioning adult person's flash drive(TM).

Srsly. I just saw a 16 GB microsd for $26 w/shipping and no taxes. Sandisk FTW!

lol

Microsoft's marketing department never gets tired.

At least it's not the 512MB Memory Unit that used to be $40.

I bought a 16GB HP flash drive from Amazon the other week for $26.

its not a scam. It is only to get the uneducated to buy it. Is it really a scam if everything one needs to know before purchasing the product is open information?

I have a flash drive that I know will already work on the 360, but not everyone else does. They just see "flash drive for xbox 360" and assume its the only brand that works.

The real scam is the 360 hard drives, since there aren't any other options (that won't get you banned from Live). $130 for 250GB is ridiculous when a 1TB PC hard drive is something like $80.

And yet I bought one, my 20 gig drive just didn't cut it anymore. *sigh*

scam or not, it's just one of the many reasons why the 360 is simply not the bargain the PS3 has been for me.

My PS3 has 500 gb internal... $70 a while back. It's got 2 TB hooked by USB full of movies... and I can move that to my PC because it's not gimped (ahem). $140.

My sister has a 512 mb card that cost as much as a game. That's no longer the going rate, and I wouldn't call it a scam, but it's inferior.

And a lot of people get a base 360 because they want to save money and are poorly informed. They wind up getting far less than they meant to get and have to spend more than they meant to. Scam? Not legally, but it's not all that friendly either.

What do you even need 1TB of HDD for on a gmae system that isn't illegal?

wii60gamer, it's funny that I said 'sounds like someone who doesn't have a PS3' before I read your nick.

I easily filled my 60 gb on my PS3. I have about 200 gb solely of DLC and PSN games. Probably a good 50 of that is meant to speed up blu-ray gaming.

The 2 TB USB drive has all my DVDs ripped onto it. That's a lot of material, which is a lot easier to manage than bothering to hunt for a disc. But the internal drive, the half TB, is not for stolen content. Even games from 2 generations ago can take up more than a GB. FF8 and 9 are well over a GB.

And my PS3 is a ten year cycle device. I wouldn't be surprised if I need to replace the 500 gb with a much larger drive before I'm done with this console. I downloaded a movie from PSN and it was 8 freaking GBs.

And it's in this context that I say I really appreciate being able to get a cheap HDD instead of proprietary crap. I know, Sony likes their special formats too, but on this issue, the PS3 is really wonderful.

I do own a PS3, but I still don't see the need for the space. I have a 120GB Slim, and it maybe has about 3-4GB taken up. I don't download movies from the store(or XBL), as it's a rip-off and I'd rather own the Blu-rays, and there's seriously not 200GB worth of legitimate content on PSN. I don't even know if there is on XBLA.

Also, I said "that isn't illegal." Ripping games and movies from discs (even the ones you already own and purchased is, so you're point is moot.

Great deal. Ugly cars.

Agreed.

Yup, pretty much.

With that new Best Buy car I can smash the competition AND display my love of good deals and fair prices.

I did like the demo on the PC. I may actually have to get the 360 version since I never use my 360 and I may be interested in the DLC, whereas DLC usually never hits the PC. : (

I didnt like the demo all that much, but after playing the full game I gotta say that it is a lot of fun. If you have surrond sound its even better.

It's always better with surround sound.

I totally agree. Orgy porn just isn't the same without it.

I'm more concerned with why Best Buy has an add for DLC for a game that came out 6 years ago

What the hell, it's 2016 already?

I think wayne is talking about the Kotor 2 dlc but i think it's for Alpha protocol

It says From Obsidian, the makers of SW:KOTOR2.

And $40 is a steal. Too many racing games out now. Blur, S/S, and Modnation.

ah thank you, i was using a smaller screen before and i guess i didnt see that. Still seems strange they'd list KOTOR 2 instead of the much more recent NWN2 and expansions

If there was KOTOR 2 DLC, and it actually made the game complete, I would totally buy it.

Paid 60.

Worth every penny.

40 is a steal.

I would grab this game in a...

*sunglasses*

split second.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

if you got it at BB you can price match it still as i plan to

I can't remember, is this the one with Nicholas Cage and Travolta?

Wasn't that Face/off?

Yes. Yes it is.

oh god...No....No!... Not that movie! I required years of therapy after watching that movie. Aside from the horrible plot, acting and the audience's need to completely ignore all laws of physics, when take out the slow-mo scenes, the movie is only 13 minutes long.

for what it was.. face/off is an amazing movie, and will always be one of my favorites.

What the ...? If Nic Cage is in the movie - it's a great movie*

* does not apply for Ghost Rider/Bangkok Dangerous. Everything else is just awesome. Seriously. I could watch a 2-hour movie with slow-mos of Nicolas Cage** walking towards the camera while everything in the background explodes.

**also applies for Bruce Willis.

This is a great deal. This games is very fun. I have some unused credit from Amazon though. I'll give Amazon a couple of days and if they don't price match then I'll get from BB.

I really thought I'd prefer Split Second to Blur but after playing both demos I actually liked Blur better.

To be fair, Split/Second had a shitty demo, while the Blur beta was fairly robust.

hoping this deal will be in Canada as well?

Am getting.

I wonder if Amazon will match that. I have $35 in game credit there, and S/S for $5 out of pocket would be very nice!

What kind of chump wants to race around in a vehicle plastered with Best buy decals?

Couldn't justify dropping $60 on this, but I think $40 is great. Consider it sold...to me!

Only problem with that add is Mass effect dropped to 39.99 this week

Sold!

Split/Second is $40 at Best Buy next week
