Xbox 360 Flash Drives: $40 for 8GB, $70 for 16GB
Yesterday Microsoft confirmed that the company would be releasing an update on April 6 that would allow users to use USB flash drives for storing profiles, game saves, demos and more.
Microsoft's Major Nelson did say you can use any 1GB+ flash drive you like, but he also said Microsoft would partnering with SanDisk to bring out official, pre-configured Xbox-branded flash drives that would be available in May.
Well GameStop has one of these extra special, Xbox 360-brand flash drives listed on its website and it should come as no surprise that they're a little overpriced. Though they do come with a month free Xbox Live Gold membership, it's still hard to see many people paying $40 for an 8GB flash drive. If you want to use the maximum allowed space per drive, you'll have to pay $70 for the 16GB option.

Ouch!
If regular flash drives work I don't think any one not on the brain transplant waiting list would buy one of those x-box branded ones
These will be a big seller...like three cup bras.
LOL @ daglesj
Three cup bras? I'd like to meet her
Seriously though, these remind of the white SD cards that Sandisk made for use on Nintendo Wii consoles ... overpriced and undersold is my guess ...
