The cost of the machines that make such plus amortise the cost of the development teams. You'll find "chips" to cost a lot more than DVD media.

I think I'm really missing the boat here so I have to ask a stupid quesiton...
Whats the difference between flash memory and just a writable cd? I'm trying to figure out why a stack of 10 cds each with 4.7gb of space is $15, but one flash memory stick with 4gb of space is $200.
Like I said, I'm just missing something so could anyone help me understand? Thanks!!!
