I remember an article in, argh, it was either Atomic MPC or PC User, where they put a variety of USB sticks through various tests, submerging them in water, submerging them in coffee, hitting them with various objects, etc, and half the expensive ones died early on and eventually the rest of them did too... Except for the cheapo no-name generic one. Which didn't stop working until they destroyed the USB connector with pliers.

Course this was a few years ago. The brand names have caught up at least a little now. :P

And even when they get here (for subtitled anime), the fansubs are generally better because they're not americanised. Sloppily. Often losing much or all of the original meaning in the process.

And if streaming over the net is your thing, the pirated ones don't have ads. I'm watching an official stream for an anime right now - I wouldn't mind a 30 second ad at the start but they interrupt the show every 5 minutes and the quality is barely better than the pirated streams!
