Its one gigabit, not one gigabyte. AFAIK a gigabit is 1/8 of a giga byte. The way i understand it is that a bit is one 0 or 1 and a bye is 8. So, you could easily buy a 128 mb card for 50 dollars, and easily much less. So since they have to produce the game as well, it is actually not as different as you think. I THINK all that i said here is true, would someone please correct me if it is not?

EDIT: also, they have to create an entirly new kind of card, they are not using existing CF or SD cards, so we dont know what size these things are (i dont remember that from the video) and so they could easily be worth 20 or so dollars for them to produce. Just remember though, hitachi pays about 50 dollars for the 4gb microdrives. Find out for yourself how much they cost.
