Top buy: Batman USB flash drive

YES you've heard that right! It's a USB flash drive/memory stick in a Batman casing. The parts are very sturdy, and takes quite a tug to pull them apart so there's no issue that the legs will fall off and get lost.

I was in need of a USB stick to back up my Uni files (because we know how unreliable technology can be at times!). So I started to look at stores such as Ryman and WHSmith for the best deals when I remembered that during the cinema release of The Avengers film, a collection of superhero USB sticks were made.

According to the site, these sticks can reach up to $1000, and yes they also sell them on Ebay for about £18.80 which is no doubt cheaper but you still wouldn't want to spend that much on just 8GB would you?

So I went through all the other related items on my Ebay search when I came across a bunch of these chibi superhero flash drives for just under $10! After reading the product description and contacting the seller to check whether it works on Windows 7 (and it does), the hardest part was deciding which design to get...

Bottom row: Dare Devil, Green Lantern, Spiderman and Batman.)

In the end I decided that I loved the Batman design more (evidently!) so I went ahead and bought it in the 16GB. It took about 2 weeks to arrive all the way from China, which is reasonable and so worth the wait.

A complete must have for superhero fans :D
