Title: Meet the Hasbro Net Jet, the most deliciously scummy console of all time
Post by: headwalk on June 09, 2013, 10:49:14 PM

Take a USB Xbox controller.

Mutilate beyond recognition or utility.

Sell it as a standalone console, with its own proprietary library of Z-tier games.

Require the console to be connected to a PC  to function.

Include no additional circuitry on the controller beyond what's needed to decrypt the game files.

Download and run the games directly on the hardware of whatever PC it's connected to.

Just incase the user gets any crazy ideas, make sure it doesn't work as a standard USB pad.

Looks worse than those Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis rehashes for Brazil.

Its MSRP is actually $24.99, so this discounted price is actually quite a steal. :teehee

Whatever, you only posted one picture and no banners or links to reviews or youtube videos or developer quotes or m0dus art or anything. Shit thread status, confirmed. Now I'm banning you and also myself for meta-posting.  :maf

I had one of these for the Transformers fighting game. You can get all the games for free by downloading the trials, and locating the .exe files in your system files and booting it from that rather than the menu. Of course none of the games are worth playing, so yeah.
