If so, this is not a bad site to buy this stuff from. Look at the prices for these flash drives:

Yeah the prices aren't bad.
But to get that cheap you must buy minimum of 50 of them.

I contacted those people to see if the chart was correct and I will post their responcse after I get it.
These flash drives would do the trick if you could label them with the logos of each game:

I contacted the people who run that site and they seemed to teel that it is not fifty hard drives for the said price on that chart.
For example: The $37.29 is just for one flash drive and the multiply that times how many you want and you get the total price.
So, $37.29 times fifty equals $1864.50.
Needless to say, this is going to be an expensive project. However, we do not need a hold bunch of 32 GB flash drives anyway. Just ones big enough to hold the data of each game.
I meant to mention this earlier, the real reason I am doing this is for the Wii U. Although it is unconfirmed, it appears as though the Wii U will be able to use external storage devices like flash drives and HDDs. Now, if everything goes according to plan then what if something like Steam were available and you could buy games like Dead Space 2 and Batman: Arkham City, store them on a flash drive and then play them directly off said hard drive? Well, this projects main goal is to return to cartridge gaming, but in a cheaply manner that does not forfeit quality.

2500 will cost $26.99?
And if you want 5,000+ you just call them?
;D
The pricing goes that if you buy 50 one will cost $37.69.
If you buy 2500 one will cost $26.99

How would 50 drives cost 37.69 and 2500 drives cost less (only 26.99) ;)
The chart tells that more drives you buy less they are each.
