Flash drive is 6 bucks.
Though Sauve seems to be a better shopper hahahaha. Him and his damn 1 dollar savings.
EDIT:
Nope found one for 3.99 on sale.

I'd buy a bigger hard drive for my 360 if the prices were not so disgusting. Cut that shit out Microsoft, it's stupid.

I also thought that running things off of a flash drive was way lower in performance than from a hard drive?

If it's a shitty flash drive, yeah. But even if the performance is worse, it's still worth it to me for the $/GB.

It won't be. Running stuff of a normal quality usb flashdrive doesn't impact performance.
Not sure if thats lack of optomization on MS's parts when it comes to internals but a poster on Xbox scene(I think or one of the xbox source websites) did a test with somewhere around 15 usb flashdrives. The differences weren't noticeable. But then again people run hacked xbox 360 with flashdrives for entire games and never have issues.

USB flash drives have abyssmal read/write speeds come mpared USB hdd's, even now, hence the cheapness.

But if 343 saying it's the minimum requirement, then they probably optimized for it.
