Official Xbox 360 USB Drives Over Priced?

From ign.com:

Retailer GameStop has posted the price and release date for the Xbox 360-branded USB drives. It seems Microsoft hasn't exactly learned how to competitively price its accessories.

 

There will be two different sizes, an 8GB and 16GB version. According to the product listing, the 8GB size will retail for $39.99, while the 16GB will retail for $69.99. The USB drives will ship on April 6, according to the listings.

 

Of course, if those prices sound too big for you, the new storage feature allows users to insert any 3rd party USB drive, but will only dedicate a maximum of 16GB for each.

Then why would they block datel memory cards?

$40 for an 8GB USB stick? They cost like $8 in any other decent store!

 

And the only difference is they say Xbox on the side and they are formatted slightly differently?
