Quick answer
The Nex Playground gaming console is discounted to 17 834 ₽ during Amazon Prime Day, returning to pre-RAM shortage pricing.
During Amazon Prime Day, the Nex Playground gaming console is available for 17 834 ₽—a 4500 ₽ discount off its current 22,3 млрд ₽ SRP. This is the lowest price since April 2024, when RAM shortages drove up component costs. Before the crisis, the console retailed for 18 655 ₽ and its lowest recorded price was 14 849 ₽ during peak discounts.
Positioned as a family-friendly console, Nex Playground features motion-sensing technology similar to Kinect. Parents praise its interactive gameplay, which keeps children engaged even when sick. However, full functionality requires a Play Pass subscription: 3700 ₽ for 3 months or 6600 ₽ annually, as the base game library is limited.
Experts note this discount is one of the few opportunities to purchase the console near pre-crisis pricing amid rising hardware costs and the prevalence of paid subscriptions.
