Before your kid gets too sophisticated and starts camping
outside the Sony store for days, take advantage of his electronic naiveté and
get the Net Jet, retailing for a mere $24.99. And what do you get for that
bargain basement price you might ask? A hand-held, self-contained player that
plugs into your USB port (PC compatible only) that sends the player directly to
the website and hooks into the chosen game. With the purchase of the
player, one game is included, with credits to unlock three more games of your
choice. Want more games? Buy additional ‘key cards’ that unlock codes on the
site, for $14.99. The beauty of the Net Jet is that it works on any PC, so you
can pack up the hand-held device and take it Grandma’s. But honestly, the real
reason I love Net Jet is because when the lady in the video game clapboard suit
explained it, I totally got it on the first try. - April Peveteaux
