Still expensive but not outrageous.

Basically you're paying $15 an album and $70 for the flash drive. That's not even a particularly bad price for a flash drive of that size, not great or even good, but certainly not ridiculous.

I can see this being worthwhile to some people.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/
However, for a flash drive in that design, a 30 dollar premium would be worth it for fans.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/

With all musicians, I'm not a fan of 100% of their catalog. Hell, I'm lucky to be a fan of 10% of their catalog. The Beatles doesn't escape this. I'm not interested in owning every single song they ever recorded and every little studio outtake that they can find in the back room of the studio...]]>Nov 4th 2009 5:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://bluebeat.com

If the Beatles hadn't have been so creative you wouldn't have the music you no doubt love today. You'd be dancing across a room from any girl and listening to big band music.

So they are trying something new, its a little creative.. they may have come up with the idea whilst on drugs!! ooohhhh but hey, you never know till you try it.

Good for them, we need people to play around with ideas like this.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/
I would have no problem with flash drives if there was a standardized format for the media and standardized case the flash drive came in. Anything that has been released on flash drives so far has all been a different style flash drive. For instance, this is coming in the shape of a giant green apple.

With CDs and DVDs/Blu Rays I can easily have a collection on a shelf of things I have. Am I supposed to have a drawer full of mixed flash drives?]]>Nov 3rd 2009 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Point taken. Did think about that myself.
Need a new storage solution then. For example, a case with many little cubicles to drop individual flash drives into. Could take a while to catch on, if and if, distribution by USB sticks catches on. Otherwise, the problem is fairly trivial, you can spare the drawer.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 4th 2009 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 5th 2009 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 4th 2009 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 4th 2009 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Nov 3rd 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/the-beatles-catalog-being-released-on-limited-edition-usb-stick/Now, if only they'll do something about that pricetag.
