NET JET includes a kid tested controller that plugs into a personal computer’s USB port and game keys that slide into the controller and activate up to 40 online games, from snowboarding to kart racing. NET JET delivers something for parents, too. NET JET is void of banner and pop up ads. That translates to uninterrupted fun.
“The market has been screaming for a system like NET JET,” said Duncan Billing, Hasbro’s chief marketing officer. “We’ve delivered a winner that is absolutely ‘on trend’ for teens entertainment products for 2007-NET JET is all about high-quality, easily accessible, diverse and fun online entertainment at a reasonable price. That’s some thing that both kids and parents can get behind.”
Net Jet Breaks The Fun Barrier But Not The Bank
The system is affordably priced, at an approximate retail price of $24.99for the controller and $14.99 for each game key, which holds four games-one “Feature” game and three “Choice” games. The Feature games are purchased at retail and are more robust, offering great graphics and superior game play. The Choice games are asses to game keys upon launching onto NetJetGames.com where kids can browse a wide variety of content and select games that meet their individual interests.
Kid-Tested Fun
Tiger Electronics enlisted a squad of kids to ensure that every aspect of NET JET would appeal to young, aspiring casual gamers. They tested the look, feel and durability of the controller, provided input on the types of games that they’d want to play online, put each game through its paces and helped select colors for the packaging.
“The NET JET controller is awesome,” said Penny Mitchell. “Now you don’t have to use the keyboard and learn totally different commands for every new game you play. That’s huge. NET JET has you playing in seconds- it’s all about your own personal speed in how quickly you can plug in the controller, insert the game key and start playing!”
“I like NET JET because it’s like having an arcade in your house that you can play any time,” said Don Rennels. “Everything about it is cool- the controller, collecting the game keys, al the game choices and, of course, actually playing the games. I want to be the first of my buddies to have all 40- the ultimate arcade.”
