The Nex Playground, a new motion-controlled console, launches in the UK, offering camera-tracked minigames for family entertainment. Despite a high subscription cost, it has seen success in the US, outselling Xbox during Black Friday, and aims to promote active play and family connection.
Amazon's annual Gaming Week sale runs through May 4th, offering discounts on video games, consoles, controllers, and PC components. Notable deals include Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition at $27 (51% off), the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor at $324.99, the EasySMX S10 Switch 2 controller at $42, and various gaming laptops from Asus, MSI, and Acer with significant markdowns.
The Nex Playground, a motion-controlled gaming cube for kids, dropped to $239 during Amazon's gaming week sale through May 4th. The console recently increased from $249 to $299, making this discount the best available price currently, though not as low as previous $199 sales. Includes five games with more available through Play Pass subscription ($49 for three months or $89 annually). Reviewers found camera tracking impressive but occasionally disappointing with fast-moving children.
