As Singapore moves into Phase 2 of its reopening on June 19, entertainment venues such as karaoke outlets, cinemas, indoor and outdoor attractions are unfortunately not allowed to operate yet. Social distancing measures are still in place and we are reminded to be cautious and mindful of our hygiene.

Although we are still unable to indulge in family cinema outings or destress by belting out our favourite tunes at the karaoke, we can still replicate some of these experiences at home with electronics to elevate our home entertainment scene!

1. BenQ GS2 Wireless Portable Projector

This projector is a must-have for those who love the thrill of big-screen projection (up to 80 inches) for video gaming, movie streaming or when you need to engage the children in educational activities – all from the comfort of your home.

The projector also comes with Eye-Protection Sensors, which automatically shut off the light when children get too near and a Parental Timer to manage your children’s projector usage time. Not only can this be used for family entertainment and gaming, but it’s also ideal when you need a movie date night with your partner!

Just place it in front of the couch, bed, or anywhere you like and get ready to enjoy the movie choice of the night!

Available online here.

2. Playstation 4 Slim Mega Bundle

Have you been eyeing the PS4 console for a long time? Here’s a sweet deal that not only comes with the latest PS4 Slim model but an additional 4 + 2 FREE games (Far Cry New Dawn SuperBloom Edition and Dayz)!

Game 1: Grand Theft Auto V Premium Edition
Game 2: God of War
Game 3: Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition
Game 4: Fortnite Neo Versa Bundle

Available online here.

3. Nintendo Switch Console System Special Edition: Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) has been a huge hit in the gaming community especially during this period of social distancing and isolation. Players can travel to an island of their own and create their very own paradise and community from scratch through activities such as fishing, collecting building materials and socialising with your neighbours!

If you’re a fan of ACNH, we’re sure you’ll love their special edition console!

Available online here.

4. Wireless Bluetooth Dual Microphone Karaoke

This karaoke system comes with 2 wireless microphones so you can sing that long-awaited duet together with your partner! The portable system allows you to connect via Bluetooth to your phone or TV and it can operate a good 2 – 3 hours before you have to charge it.

Available online here.

5. Sony Compact Sound Bar with Bluetooth

A movie at home may not really feel the same without a good surround sound system. The Sony Compact Sound Bar is slim, sleek and blends right into your home while delivering enhanced sound quality with a Bass Reflex speaker! It’s also easy to set up – with just the HDMI ARC cable, you can connect to your TV audio!

Available online here.
