The Nex Playground gaming console is $60 off this week

One of the best-selling game consoles During winter break It was the Nex Playground, a small cube with a camera that ran motion-controlled games designed specifically for kids. I’ve got it Price increase $50 this month — from $249 to $299 — but shoppers are getting a brief discount during Amazon’s Toy Week sale, which runs through May 4th. It currently retails for $239 Amazon, Best buyand Walmart. Although it’s not as good as the previous sale prices of $199, this is clearly as good as it’s going to get right now.

Nex Playground includes five ready-made games, but you can expand its catalog significantly with a Play Pass subscription. Some Play Pass games feature familiar kid-friendly characters like Bluey, Peppa Pig, Elmo, and more. My colleague Sean Hollister reviewed The playground with the help of his two children. For the most part, he thought the camera tracking was impressive, but it was disappointing at times. When the playground falters in keeping track of fast-moving children, smiles can turn into frowns. However, he believes that the issues in general did not stop them from having a good time together.

One of his biggest complaints about Nex Playground was its high cost, even without taking into account the high cost Play Pass subscription is expensive (starting at $49 for three months, or $89 for a year) which ensures kids have new games to play every now and then. This deal doesn’t make Playground more affordable, but it does make things a little less expensive.
