The deluxe Scott Pilgrim graphic novel box set is cheaper than ever
The price of the excellent 20th anniversary collection of Scott Pilgrim graphic novels is only going in one direction: down — way down. That's good news for anyone who's looking for an affordable way to get every installment, whether you first got into the series through the 2010 live-action movie, the stellar animated series on Netflix, or thanks to the Streets of Rage -inspired video game. The graphic novels come in a box that's doused in PlayStation Portable aesthetic, and they're available in color or black and white for roughly the same price at Amazon. Normally $249.99, either set costs about $98. It'll make a great gift to yourself, a pal, or with Father's Day coming up, some Dads might enjoy it, too. Other notable deals and discounts How much should a company charge for a last-gen product compared to the current generation? If your answer was 'less than half,' then the current price for the Google Pixel Watch 2 at Amazon will seem just about perfect. You can snag a Wi-Fi model for $149.99 in the champagne gold color scheme (which looks less gold than you might imagine). This price is less than half the cost of the Pixel Watch 3, making it a smart gadget to buy if you're dipping a toe into the world of smartwatches. While it lacks the brighter screen, better battery life, and more exhaustive list of workout features in the Pixel Watch 3, the second iteration is still a great gadget. Read our review of the Pixel Watch 2. If you're strongly considering a PS5 or PS5 Pro in light of Sony's recent comments that it may move to raise costs due to tariffs, do not buy anything today. Wait just one day, as starting on May 28th, you'll be able to save on PS5 console bundles, and get the first-ever deal on the PS5 Pro ($50 off). Not only that, there will be a nice price drop on the already-discounted PSVR 2 VR headset, and on other hardware. You can read more details regarding the Days of Play deals here, which will last through June 11th.

Layoffs at Funko Fusion developer 10:10 Games blamed on 'complete commercial and critical failure' of the game
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. 10:10 Games, a studio based in Warrington, England, has laid off staff, according to sources quoted Insider Gaming, due to its first release being a "complete commercial and critical failure". Funko Fusion was an attempt to catch the lightning in a bottle of the Lego games, only instead of the charm of Lego they were working with the dead-eyed horror of Funko Pops. Still, they had characters from popular properties like Team Fortress 2, Mega Man, Back to the Future, The Walking Dead, and Scott Pilgrim to put through themed smash-and-grab collectible hunt levels, and it's not like anyone can explain the success of Funko Pop. Maybe it could have worked? It didn't, however, ending up with an OpenCritic rating of 53, and sitting at a Mixed rating on Steam with 68% positive user reviews. Insider Gaming's sources said that performance of Funko Fusion was so poor that attempts to get funding for multiple follow-up projects failed, leading to staff being laid off because there "isn't enough work to give the whole team". Before the layoffs were announced, staff were encouraged to use up their vacation time, resulting in several of them discovering they had been let go while overseas on holiday. They were still expected to make it to consultation meetings, despite being in different time zones. "Management seemed very keen to wrap up the process quickly," a source told Insider Gaming, "and despite saying that they were fully open to suggestions and feedback, none of it has been taken on board".
