As Mr. Wizard said, you just format/reformat it yourself. Most or all would come FAT formatted from the factory. Macintosh computers running recent versions of OSX do not (by default) allow writing to NTFS volumes, so a flash drive formatted that way would cause a good deal of tech support annoyance for the maker.
I would suggest being somewhat careful about buying a large flash drive, particularly online. It would be wise to make sure that it actually has the capacity it claims to have. There are fraudulent knockoff drives out there that report to your computer that they are larger than they actually are, and if you try to use the space beyond what they actually have will lose data.
