Nex Playground on Sale for Prime Day

The Nex Playground is the family-centric, Kinect-like game console that made one Verge editor’s kids laugh, cry, and ask for more playtime, even when they were sick. The motion-based game play isn’t perfect, but it has won over plenty of parents — and it’s on sale for $239 at Amazon, down from its current MSRP of $299. That’s a healthy discount, though only slightly better than the Nex’s original $250 price.

Google Home Will Be Better at Knowing You

A new update for Google Home could make it less likely your smart home cameras mistake you for someone else, just because you’re facing away from the camera. Starting June 23rd, Google’s expanding its facial recognition feature so that people you’ve tagged in your Familiar Faces library can continue to be identified when their faces aren’t clearly visible, using “additional non-biometric signals (body size, clothing color, etc.).”

Hollywood is Afraid of OpenAI

Netflix, A24, Focus Features, and Warner Bros.’ Clockwork have all reportedly decided to pass on picking up Artificial — director Luca Guadagnino’s new biographical drama about OpenAI cofounder / CEO Sam Altman — for distribution deals. And while Neon and Mubi are still said to be interested in the film, this situation makes it seem like Hollywood no longer has the courage to tell critical stories about Big Tech.

The Meta Quest 3S is on Sale

The Meta Quest 3S VR headset with 128GB of storage is $296.79 (about $53 off) at Amazon.

Xteink's Small E-Readers Are On Sale For Prime Day

The Xteink X4 and smaller X3 e-readers are discounted to $55.20 (regularly $69) and $63.20 (normally $79), respectively, as part of Amazon’s Prime Day promotions this week. Both e-readers are significantly smaller and more pocketable than any of the Kindle and Kobo models currently available, and feature magnetic mounts so they can be stuck to the back of MagSafe-compatible smartphones. The bundled software is a little rough around the edges, but the versions Amazon is selling can both be easily upgraded to the free CrossPoint Reader firmware featuring a more polished user interface.

The Pixel 10A now has a good price

We can usually rely on Google to put together a compelling package in its Pixel A-series devices. The Pixel 10A was kind of a letdown, though. It added only a handful of updates, like satellite messaging and updated Gorilla Glass on the screen — but it still costs $499, like the Pixel 9A. Kind of a bummer.

Laptop Prices Are High, But Here Are Some Prime Day Deals

The RAM, storage, and component crunch has come for new laptop prices. Plenty of models have gone up in price after being on the market for months, and so have those that’ve been on shelves for over a year. Plus, many new models are releasing at higher prices than the previous generation. So, it really isn’t the best time to buy a new laptop.
