    Default Hasbro/Tiger Net Jet. Seen this thing?

    http://www.hasbro.com/tiger/netjet/d...duct_id=19091#


    saw this advertised while capping some TV earlier, anyone tried it yet? I'm very curious to know if the "games" actually have data on them, or if they are charging 15 dollars for serial keys to flash puzzle bobble clones. Oh wait, pogo is already doing that sort of thing....

    But yeah, what the hell? This looks like something to keep an ee out for in clearance, but if I'm right about it all being download-based, they'll also be rendered totally useless after awhile.

    Yeah, looks like the 'key' just give you access to the game on their website. I've seen something similar in the UK.

    But this doesn't work with Mac OS, therefore it's shite anyway.

    I had a look at one of the games at TRU the other day, it said something about servers only being required to stay online until 2009 maybe? i don't recall the exact date.

    They had a "demo unit", but it was just a controller with a game stuck in it and a video that would play. For what it's worth however...I sorta like it's analog stick.

    Default Can we use this as a standalone usb controller.

    I saw this at Wal-Mart on Friday for $20. I also read on the back that the servers were only required to stay online till 2009. As far as a system and the games it looks like crap. But the controller feels very very nice and is very similar to a SuperNES controller.

    What I'm wondering is if this is recognized as a standard USB controller. If so, you could ignore the games and use this as a very very nice emulator controller?

    Anyone willing to take the plunge to find out?

    I was kind of thinking the same thing...

    I hate seeing shit like this sold in stores...I refuse to buy anything that I can't play again in 10 or 20+ years. When I buy a game, I want to own it, not rent it.
