Kingston launches Mini Fun flash drives

We're not sure if Kingston is making a statement about the entertainment to be had from owning a USB flash drive (especially those pre-loaded with a couple of simple puzzle and adventure games), or if they really think "mini" and "fun" are both good qualifiers to brand a lineup of unusually shaped storage peripherals, but we can say with some certainty that their vaguely LEGO-like Mini Fun flash drives will run you between $15 and $33 for between 256MB and 1GB of storage. It's summer time, live a little, have some, um, fun.

Yup, looks like a cock to me.

Elémentaire mon cher Watson!

i wonder what colour the LED in that slot is... Let's hope red.

"thank god I'm not the only one who saw that"

Same here. Haha.

Whats the point of these things except to stick them together and make a line of storage?

At $33, that seems rather cheap for a 1GB flash drive. I'm admittedly out of the loop on how much these things cost lately, but still, it seems really cheap. What's the average going rate for 1GB flash lately?

The going rate at Microscenter was about 25 USD last I checked.

There was a PC Fair last week. 1GB flash drive was selling at RM67 (Approx USD19).
