Tiger Direct has the SYMA S107 3 Channel Mini Indoor Helicopter for $30 with free shipping. Can fly up to 10 meters away for up to 8 minutes with only 30 minutes of charging time required.
I have one of these, and it's a blast. Yes you only get a few minutes flying time out of it, but it's also not the kind of thing you'd play with for hours at a time. If it bothers you, get three and rotate them through the USB charger.
While they only have a 10m range, they're indoor only, and none of my rooms are 20m across.
I have a purdy red one and, like #3 said, it really is a blast.
The thing is amazingly stable and also pretty much indestructible, though if you do trash it (or if the cat chews up one of the wings) you can get replacement parts for just a few dollars.
Go check out the reviews on the Internet--this particular model is famous for its flyability.
I think the word "only" is used in the wrong place.
"Can fly up to 10 meters away for up to 8 minutes with only 30 minutes of charging time required."
should be
Can fly up to ONLY 10 meters away for ONLY up to 8 minutes with 30 minutes of charging time required.

I like it without any onlys and "up to" 30 minutes of charging time required.
