Red Hat Czech recently ordered business-card-like 8GB usb flash drives
in quantity of 800 and one was for 102 CZK (~$5). You can probably get a
bit cheaper ones, but we want some branding, so the cheapest ones with
no place to print our logo won't be a good solution. Moreover I don't
think their price would be below $4. 
So for $1750, you can produce 350 flash sticks instead of 5000 DVDs
(their unit price is $.35).
The price difference is still huge and it's not getting smaller. I've
been checking prices for the last two years and prices of suitable flash
drives haven't changed much, it's still about $5, just their capacity
goes up.


Yeah. The question is what will people value more. A looong time ago, I saw that when we had tons of giveaways, they ended up in the trash on the way out.. but when we had a limited number of them and people had to 'earn' them somehow (nothing silly just help someone answer a question on Linux) there was a lot less give-away trash at the exits.  That is completely anecdotal so I don't know how true it is.. but I was just wondering if it might be a better bang.
