I know this has been mentioned previously with price of $3.33 (or 3 for $10 as Newcastle store market it) but Officeworks at Warners Bay are selling these One Direction USB drives for $2.00. There were at least 50 in stock, probably closer to 100. Surely this is the cheapest 8GB USB in Australia?

        • Gorian4 on 29/06/2013 - 22:00

          one direction?

        • easternculture on 30/06/2013 - 06:51

          I prefer the multi direction version

      That's weird: I bought a couple but they only plug into each other.

        Matty, I am voting your comment as perhaps the Funniest OZB comment EVER!

        I laughed so hard, and so did everyone else in my household. Kudos.

        So you plugged them in each other to get a 10 incher ?

        Did you notice any improvement in performance ?

    "Surely this is the cheapest 8GB USB in Australia?"

    Almost certainly. Yet it is still not cheap enough to make me want to buy any with One Direction all over them. The USB drives probably have a very limited life similar to the group :)

  • annielee on 29/06/2013 - 21:02

    arrghhh.. just bought 2 last week for my niece !

  • retiredfeline on 29/06/2013 - 21:02

    But I'd have to stick two back to back to get both directions. :)

    Nope, the cost of black tape to cover the USB is too expensive.

  • Rogerwilco on 29/06/2013 - 23:12

    My Granddaughters thank you.

    • Tnetennba on 29/06/2013 - 23:42

      That depends if their music comes pre-loaded or not.

    Can we order these online for $2? No way I'm going to be seen in public with these.

    • Cheeper on 30/06/2013 - 10:39

      Well after you buy one you can fix the problem on the surface of the usb stick with abit of sandpaper.

    • bwad on 30/06/2013 - 02:42

      But it shows as $3.33

    okay…. plus points:

    at least it won't get stolen
    and potentially a good gift for that teenage girl (sister/daughter) in your life

  • bleugh on 30/06/2013 - 09:15

    why doesn't someone buy 100 of these and RAID 'em
    at $2 each, that'll make an 800Gig* SSD for $200 bux

    how about a dual redundant 400 Gig super fast RAID 5 mirrored array! - $200

    *unformatted capacity

    add various USB controllers, etc, etc (10 cheapies from deal extreme) and you're still up over the price of a 400 gig SSD nowadays!

    • slowmo on 30/06/2013 - 09:42

  • Abbycat on 30/06/2013 - 13:08

    As an employee there, the highlight of my day is when blokes buy one of these whilst avoiding eye contact and claiming that it's just because they are a bargain. I'll then ask them which band member is their favourite. ;D

      Yes, each sale should come with requisite humiliation. Love your work.

        One direction USB with free humiliation. Maybe we should advertise it that way? Everyone loves a freebie.

      Yeah some of the guys at work grabbed a few for running diagnostic tools - but performance is really BAD, and that's compared with every other cheap USB stick ever used in the workshop!

  • Sadimgnik on 30/06/2013 - 15:11

      Yes, same here $3.33. Is there any discrepancy?

  • Mossy on 30/06/2013 - 17:26

    Went to the Warners Bay store and the price tag is indeed $3.33 for the USB stick.
    On the same sign, $2 for a One Direction lanyard. I chose not to buy any, this time…

    Hindo, you sure you got them for $2?

    • sparkles on 30/06/2013 - 19:26

      There are lanyards? So, are you telling me I can display my 1Direction USB key for all to see?

      OK, I was sceptical, but now I am SOLD. It'll look great with my Miley Cyrus t-shirt, while I wear my Justin Beiber perfume.

    Bought 3 for daughter & her cousins @ xmas time and they have all died already. I wouldn't put anything too important on these like a school assignment.
