The tiny but very popular Nex Playground just got its first major saving in the Amazon October Prime Day.

The family-orientated device is now on sale for up to £65 off at the retail giant, reduced from £269 to £204.

The Nex, which sits at just around the size of an apple, launched in June and garnered a four-stars from our gaming experts, owing to its playful design and intuitive design.

The device is small, green and yellow cube that will sit just under your TV, with a plug and a HDMI cable included to get you connected. Much like predecessors such as the Nintendo Wii, the device uses its camera to track you in order to play movement-based games such as tennis and bowling.

The Nex Playground will normally set you back £269, and the developers throw in five free games to get you started – Fruit Ninja, Party Fowl, Whac-a-Mole, Starri and Go Keeper. The rest of the games are all available on one subscription, which costs £90 per year or £45 per quarter.

Here's how you can save £65 today.
