Since coding isn’t an enjoyable hobby for everyone, perhaps your money would be better spent on Nerf’s iPhone-ready Laser Ops Pro Alphapoint bundle. It’s been marked down to $25, which happens to be a new low and 45% off. Buyers get two blasters and smartphone straps for keeping tabs on the opposition with its GPS-enabled Nerf Laser Ops app.
In other fun news, we just found out that PlayStation 5 production has received a nice boost. There were originally 5 to 6-million units planned, but a 33%+ increase has bolstered chances for many to get their hands on the next-generation console at launch. Read our coverage to learn more.
