I like how the only non-crap-sounding net jet game so far is this TF fighting game, but I'm not holding my breath over it.

If this is a hasbrotoyshop exclusive it means mainland USA is about the only place that can get it, bad news for anyone else.

At least I know what the hell NetJet is.

This sounds cool.I might want to buy it for Christmas.

Sounds like crap to me -- you buy a controller to connect to the Internet and play glorified PS1 demos? This might not be a bad deal if you could pick up the games on CD-ROM for the price of a NetJet key, but the necessity of the controller (I'd rather use my PS2 one, thanks) and the online component (which should only be there if you can engage in extensive multiplayer campaigns) make this a pass for me.

Is this made by Hasbro?

I've seen complete new Net Jets for as little as $16 with shipping. I might try one out just to try this TF Game. Hope they add more than 10 characters to it though.
