Mimoco reveals Halo Mimobot flash drives

Since we tend to concentrate on hardware on this little blog, you may not have realized that there's a rather seminal event occurring on the software side of things that has gamers pretty giddy, namely the release of Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. And what better way to display your fandom than with a Master Chief Mimobot USB 2.0 flash drive from Mimoco, a 1GB ($50), 2GB ($70), or 4GB ($110) piece limited to 5,000 units (3,000 each for the Red and Blue Spartan editions, pictured after the break) and pre-loaded with all sorts of swag sure to fill the emptiness in your life once you've completed the trilogy. Pre-orders have already started, so if you missed out on the last batch of space odyssey-themed paraphernalia, you'll probably wanna reserve one well before the official October 18th release at E for All.

A little expensive though...

He has a big head

[fred @ Sep 25th 2007 11:25AM]

I don't know if this occurs to anyone that these things are just bizarre looking.

[zonamanoz @ Sep 25th 2007 11:30AM]

That lid bit is far bigger then it needs to be, shame.

[Jeremy K. @ Sep 25th 2007 11:27AM]

OMG yeah that totally looks like Master Chief.

[paloooz @ Sep 25th 2007 11:32AM]

They vaguely resemble Wii controllers...

that really doesn't look like him, it's just some gold paint on their stock shape.

hardware not software focus? I bet you won't say that when leopard launches.

[bad_apple @ Sep 25th 2007 1:29PM]

Hit the nail right on the head. Engadget LOVES stevie.

[B @ Sep 25th 2007 11:34AM]

Just buy any of their crappy drives and paint it yourself, they're all the same damn shape. The R2-D2 one even has ears.

[Kevin @ Sep 25th 2007 11:36AM]

3,000 plus 3,000 is 5,000?

[Kurtis @ Sep 25th 2007 12:06PM]

5,000 green
3,000 blue
3,000 red

It was worded poorly

[Kevin @ Sep 25th 2007 12:09PM]

All right, I admit it, I stink.

[hiddenboston @ Sep 25th 2007 11:39AM]

I'm a bit of a geek, but this is just way too much, even for me. Uh, will an 8GB one be coming out soon? :-D

[dataminer49er @ Sep 25th 2007 11:48AM]

Sigh... I miss my disposable income days...

[paul34 @ Sep 25th 2007 11:48AM]

Wait wait wait

uhh, am I going crazy, or did the color of those flash drives change from red (about 20ish minutes ago I think) to a bronze color?!

[Matt @ Sep 25th 2007 11:49AM]

heheheh "seminal"

[Charlie M @ Sep 25th 2007 1:23PM]

Master Pope is more like it..

[John M @ Sep 25th 2007 2:51PM]

Thats actually pretty funny

[Rami Selim @ Sep 25th 2007 2:21PM]

Awww. They're so cute ! Little Master Chiefs!

[Ihsan Al-Shorafa @ Sep 25th 2007 2:43PM]

It looks like the jolly green giant is missing his member. Maybe its detachable?

[Carbonize @ Sep 25th 2007 2:46PM]

I thought it was Thunderbird 2 at first.

[John M @ Sep 25th 2007 2:51PM]

Aww ive never seen a super bad ass look so damn hug-able

[John M @ Sep 25th 2007 2:53PM]

[John M @ Sep 25th 2007 2:54PM]
