You criticizing again. What a surprise.

Anyway, we pay it because we want it and because we can afford it, no one is forcing us to get the stick. It's expensive because it's a japanese product and the costs of making such USB's are really high compared to a cd. Making a USB with a cd content like the new Ayumi Album is a -relatively- new selling method, and not exactly profitable (that is why they are making the sticks in such small quantities)

And honestly i really doubt the one you can get on your own is going to be as cute or with the same content as the original.

slightly off topic, JB hifi isnt really always the cheapest place anymore...

Agreed, I saw Harvey Norman with 2Gb USBs for like $5 last week! They are the cute little ones that flip open but I have about 3 USBs already not counting the Ayu one, so I left it and bought a 1TB drive for LANs

SA doesn't really have a store that's cheaper than JB yet ^^; I heard one of the stores in VIC had I Am... for about $60+ but that was a while back!
