There were dozens upon dozens of great Blu-ray box set deals during Amazon Prime Day. Unsurprisingly, some of them sold out during the two-day sales event, but one of those sold-out deals has returned. The Matrix Deja Vu Collection, a box set containing all four live-action films in the iconic science fiction series, is discounted to $38 (was $60) at Amazon and Walmart. It's worth noting online movie storefront Gruv is the seller at both retailers, so the shipping won't be as fast (about a week), but you'll still get free shipping. Alternatively, you can grab the four-film collection on 1080p Blu-ray for only $15. Get Matrix 4K Collection at Amazon The Matrix: Deja Vu CollectionThe Matrix: Four-Film Deja Vu Collection (4K UHD, Amazon) -- $38 ($60)The Matrix: Four-Film Deja Vu Collection (4K UHD, Walmart) -- $38 ($60)The Matrix: Four-Film Deja Vu Collection (Standard Blu-ray) -- $15 ($20)John Wick: Chapters 1-3 (4K UHD, Amazon) -- $29 ($45)The first Matrix film, released all the way back in 1999, is arguably still the best of the lot and has held up surprisingly well over the years. A masterpiece of storytelling, action, special effects, and sound design, it's a lean-and-mean blockbuster that took the world by storm and broke new ground at the time with its slow-motion choreography. It felt like almost every action film was copying Neo's bullet-dodging acrobatics in the wake of this film's release.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai, once a YouTube Red original series, eventually moved to Netflix and became a pop-culture hit. With the success of the series, a new Karate Kid movie from Sony was announced last year, but it turns out it will not be connected to Cobra Kai."What we can say is that we have significant interest in doing more things in this universe. We have multiple ideas of the kinds of things that we would like to do," explained Cobra Kai co-creator Josh Heald, who spoke to GameSpot during a set visit for the final season. "It's really just sort of taking the time. We've been so busy with this season, that we haven't had those meetings with Sony and Netflix."Exact details about the new movie are loose but has the original Karate Kid Ralph Maccio and martial arts legend Jackie Chan teaming up for the project. Maccio will reprise playing Daniel LaRusso once again as well as produce the feature. Chan will reprise his role as Mr. Han, the character from 2010's Kung-Fu Kid. That film, which starred Jaden Smith, was seen as a reset for the franchise, but it didn't take off. Heald continued that the film is still very much its own thing.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Amazon Games is bringing free-to-play Korean MMORPG Throne and Liberty to the West in September, and we now know all the ways the publisher is changing the game's business model to better fit the expectations of western players.In a recent blog post on the Throne and Liberty website, Amazon and developer NCSOFT outlined how the game's monetization will differ from the Korean version, explaining its goals, the main currencies players will be interacting with, and detailing how its five-day paid early access period will work. For starters, one of Amazon's stated goals is to make combat and power upgrades accessible to all players, not just ones who pay real money to get ahead. To further that mission statement, its in-game store won't sell one of the game's core currencies used to craft and upgrade gear, nor will it sell potions or food that may give players who have them an advantage. Quests and rewards exclusive to the paid battle pass will be removed. An optional subscription seen in the Korean version of the MMO that grants players various benefits, the Blessing of Solisium, won't be available (at least at launch), as Amazon is continuing to "evaluate how this offering needs to change to serve the needs of our players."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fighting game fans looking to get some high-quality equipment for their next Street Fighter 6 tournament won't want to miss out on this Prime Day deal, as the Victrix Pro FS fight stick is on sale. Since its release, this arcade-style fight stick has been hailed as one of the best, and you can pick up either the regular model or the all-button version for $320. These are normally priced at $400 each, so this is a substantial 20% discount.Victrix Pro FS fight stick (Joystick model) -- $320 ($400)Victrix Pro FS fight stick (Directional buttons model) -- $320 ($400)Victrix Pro FS Fight StickFor the regular model, you're getting a tournament-grade fight stick that's compatible with PC, PS5, and PS4. You can choose from a crisp PS5-style white or a bright purple finish, and it has Sanwa Denshi 30mm buttons, a removable Sanwa Densi Ball-top joystick, and a very comfortable shape backed up by a foam lap pad. You can also easily open it when you want to do some customization or clean the components, and it has carrying handles for when you want to lug it to events. These are made from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, so they can withstand a lot of punishment.The other model on sale doesn't have a joystick and instead offers four directional buttons. While this might sound odd, a lot of fighting-game professionals have opted for fight sticks like this to gain an edge in competition. In Street Fighter, for example, you'll find quite a few fighting game professionals favoring this layout when they play as characters who have to "charge" their special moves with directional inputs. The button approach speeds up the time to pull off these powerful moves in comparison to using a traditional joystick.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
