looks like the sale date already past. i don't think you can buy that item from biglobe anymore.

try yahoo auctions japan. things like this usually appear there. there are outsourcing companies who will help you bid if you find it. i'm guessing from the original price that it will be over $100 for a 2GB usb drive?

Yeah I figured it will be that much...dang.., thanks for the idea ^_^
But I will still try looking to see if anyone happens to have one that they would want to sell I'm up for it!

I have also been looking for an english site that is selling this. Couldn't get it on ebay. :'( If anybody is selling their's, I'm also interested.

It also sells for over 90 dollars. One spendy piece of equipment.

You'd think it was coated with pure gold.

I'm well aware that it's covered in gold plated metal. I still find the price to be outrageous. Does it look neat and cool? Hell yeah. Would I want one? Of course.

Would I pay for one? Not likely. If I had cash to burn on things I didn't need I probably would consider buying it; but I'm a poor college student, so I cannot. :(

you could always try to make your own. There are lots of tutorials out there (google "build a flash drive" or look on youtube), and you could get a pretty cheap flash drive (like a 512 mb one) to practice on if you're worried about accidentally breaking a pricier one. You could probably make the key part out of modeling clay and gold paint.

It'd be a little more complicated (unless the official ones are hard to find) but it'd likely end up being a heck of a lot cheaper. Plus you get the added bonus of it being a hand-made gift, which are always special ^_~

Good luck!
