Solid Alliance’s Terminator USB Drive Makes an Appearance in Japan

Terminator Salvation came out earlier this year, and if you liked it (or maybe loved it), then this new USB drive might just be the perfect thing for your desk. It’s a licensed T-600 face, and it’s from the latest movie. And while getting a USB memory stick that can stare back at you might not be the best idea for some people, it’s obviously something to get if you are a fan of the movies. And by fan, we mean you quote the movies on a day-to-day basis, kind of fan.

Japan has a thing for USB drives, and they have a knack for making them look as ridiculous as possible. Apparently they’re not fans of boring consumer products over there, and because of that we get to see things like this. It doesn’t have that great of storage capacity, but at 2GB it can at least keep some of your stuff safe behind that gruesome visage. The gadget only ways about 42g, and supports Windows XP/Vista, as well as Mac OS 10.2 and up. And if that wasn’t enough, those shiny red eyes? Apparently they’re rhinestones from luxury brand Swarovski.

The skull is available now in Japan, and –are you ready for this?– it costs $150 if you want to get your greedy little hands on it. There are outlets you can get in touch with, like Geek Stuff 4 U, that are ready and willing to ship it over to you, if you just can’t live without this thing. Of course, if you can’t find $150 to spend on something else, and you need more Terminator stuff, go for it. We won’t tell.

Solid Alliance’s latest USB Drive

Abby McVay — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:06:39 +0000

The Solid Alliance has yet again provided me with a good laugh on this Friday morning. Which is good because my caffeine won’t seem to kick in enough to wake me up. They have yet another ridiculously designed USB drive.

This one, like many of their others doubles as a necklace and even has a cross pendant to lay over top it. The slightly goth necklace looks about like you’re ready to go off vampire hunting at any given moment.

Being the Solid Alliance, they value their products to such an extreme that they are selling them a bit overpriced. For a 2GB drive it will cost you $180 or for a brass-colored one $145, which is going to be a bit much for most people.

Sato USB Drive from the Solid Alliance

Apparently it’s flash drive Friday, because I’ve managed to write up two in a row thus far. We’ll see if I can toss in one more this afternoon. This one comes straight from the infamous Solid Alliance.

It may not be shiny, but its overly chunky Asian appearance is enough to get it pegged as cheesy. The characters usually are used in such a way that it looks more elegant rather than just outdated and cheap. Which is how it appears here.

I will admit that this doesn’t make a too shabby keychain. The thumb drive is being sold for 29.00€ or about $45 for 1GB. Which is slightly more than a Mimobot would cost, so although it isn’t available in the US, you can be comforted by the new Star Wars Mimobots.
