Reddit reviews Verbatim 3.5In HD 1.44MB Pre-Fmt IBM 10Pk (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Nope. Need to include shipping costs. The one you chose has a $4.99 shipping charge, bringing the total to $16.97.

A 10 pack of 1.44mb Verbatim 3.5'' floppy disks costs $14.95 on Amazon with free Prime shipping.

1TB = 1,000,000MB; Thus 1TB = 694,444.44 Floppy Disks

15 694,444.44 = 10,416,666.67

Each floppy disk costs $1.495 each.

$1.495 10,416,666.67 = $15,572,916.672.



If you need a number of TB other than 15, the cost of any amount of TB in floppies can be roughly represented by the following:

x 1.038 10^6

Where 'x' represents the number of TB.

------------
TL;DR Using the first result on Amazon, including shipping, it would cost a little over $15.7 Million for 15TB of Floppy disks.

An extra 90 CDs for 50p more, not to mention they're 700MB compared to 1.44.

you cant still buy these http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-1-44MB-Pre-Fmt-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0000511BI/ref=lp_172461_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409691002&sr=1-2

so i would assume you can get blank CDs even though its all outdated.

It would be expensive to implement unless they could get a lot of sd to 3.5 floppy adapters from source in bulk. They would have to make it a tier add on. Realistically, the money from funding could be put to the game. If they try an implement too many expensive add ons it will detract from the game. Its a neat idea though. Your better off to do it your self. Just request that NDS make an image of system shock available as an optional download with your tier package, or make an image your self from the gog download when it becomes available. Write it to the sd card (make sure its bootable) and stick it in the adapter. They could also make System Shock labels available to put on the adapter. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Floppy-Interface-Memory-MSAC-FD2MA/dp/B00005T3Q1 that's the cheapest one I could find with a limited search. I have maybe two cases of 3.5 inch floppies, unopened, stored away. I have no use for them. People just threw them away from an office storage and I took them for nostalgia reasons. That and they are getting increasingly rare.....especially unopened cases. :D Thats another option if they make 3.5 inch floppy labels a tier option, is just put them on an old 3.5 inch floppy. I am sure that would be a much economical option and would meet the nostalgia criteria. You could then frame it. https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-1-44MB-Pre-Fmt-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0000511BI/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1468095918&sr=1-6&keywords=3.5+inch+floppies.
