The Nex Playground made headlines when it outsold the Nintendo Switch 2 for a period over Black Friday last year, and it's not difficult to see why. This kid-friendly console is a value champion, coming as an all-in-one package with a selection of games to play right out of the box.

It's also much cheaper than the alternatives, especially with the current Amazon Prime Day discounts. In the US, the Nex Playground is on offer for just $239 (was $299) at Amazon.

That's strong value, but there's an even better deal for shoppers in the UK, where the Nex Playground is only £204.24 (was £269) for Prime members – a new lowest-ever price.
