You realise that USB thumb drives, if bought in bulk, from say made-in-china.com have 64 GB USB drives for 3$ a peice.
They are selling them at 3$ to stores, than then sell them onto consumers for a much higher price.
I bet you anything, that if they are selling them a 3$ a peice, the actual manufactureing cost is probably somewhere around 1.5$.
Now theres probably cheaper ways to produce a cartridge than how USB thumb drives are made.
I wouldnt be surprised if you could get manufactureing costs down to under 1$.

^ this is a 64 GB thumb drive.
