The 8GB drive retails for $39.99, while the 16GB model sells for $69.90. Now, GameStop is listing the official USB drives, which bear a higher price than un-branded third-party devices, for preorder. SanDisk's Xbox 360-branded 16GB USB drives cost twice as much as the unbranded ones.Īs part of the USB-support announcement, Microsoft said that it was partnering with SanDisk to release Xbox 360-branded USB flash drives. It also came just over four months after Microsoft locked out high-capacity third-party memory units with a fall firmware update. The move came after nearly four and a half years of Microsoft only offering first-party proprietary memory units and hard drives, which were widely criticized for being overpriced. Last week, Microsoft confirmed rumors that the Xbox 360 would start supporting USB flash drives starting April 6.
