Now that you've returned from your potentially magical trip to Disney World and seen the more robotically inclined characters dancing a jig, the sore spot on the entire trip was likely the lack of Disney-inspired flash drives at the gift store. Fret not, as Buffalo has just unveiled a lineup of USB drives that sport licensed Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, and Stitch, which are all part of the RUF2-DFNR series. Judging by the shapes, each character is more suited to sit on your desk rather than becoming your everyday pocket drive, and with just 512MB of capacity, it's fairly clear that these are aimed squarely at Disney fanboys (and girls) who just can't let the opportunity to own a "limited edition" Disney item pass them by. Landing late next month, only 5,000 of each character will be available for sale, and while we're not sure of the exact prices, we're certain the trio will be at least somewhat overpriced (and highly coveted).[Via Impress]
cool
I like the Steamboat Willie one
I can see the ad now...
"Hi Ho, Hi Ho, put your da-ta here and go"
quite amusing
Steamboat Willie is a cool one, agreed.
(If he's fast enough he could help your Windows Vista!)
The price is 3,980 Yen. Not too bad considering the normal (non-Disney) 512MB flashdrive from Buffalo is 2,480 Yen. But then again I'm sure you could get 512 for much cheaper elsewhere.
Is that a Steamboat Willie in your pocket... or are you just happy to see me? (Note: Term 'Steamboat Willie' may be interchanged with 'Honey Pot', 'Log', 'Pooh' or 'Blue Demon' depending on your sex/location/situation.)
What do Winne the Pooh and Alexander the Great have in common?
Same middle name.
Sorry. I'm done.
Why do I have the feeling that Mr. Jobs will somehow be promoting these at WWDC?
Haha, that's a teriffic idea! They are really cute and look well done! I love Disney!
OMG ONLY 5000 of EACH STYLE!!
Buy them all and keep them in the box forever and then sell it and you'll be $$$RICH$$$!!
Does anyone know how one can go about buying one of these if one lives in the USA?
I tried contacting Buffalo in USA and they said they are not avaialbale and they could not help with their Japanese affiliate
Tried contacting Buffalo in Japan and got no response
