You only have a few more days to take advantage of the holiday offer on Hot Wheels: Rift Rally at Amazon. Normally $130, the standard edition of the mixed reality racing game is down to just $60. Meanwhile, the collector's edition is also $70 off, dropping the price from $150 to $80. Both deals, which first became available during Black Friday, end December 20. It's also worth noting Prime members can get free shipping, with orders arriving as soon as tomorrow. So if you're looking for a last-minute gift idea for the PlayStation or iOS gamer on your shopping list, Rift Rally is a cool option. Similar to Mario Kart Live, Rift Rally bridges digital and physical play by giving you an RC car to pilot in your home. The little car has a camera mounted to it, and using the smartphone app, you can pilot it through a custom circuit that you set up in your space by placing checkpoints around the area. Additionally, you can expand your virtual collection of Hot Wheels cars with up to 140 different models. For the collector's edition, you'll get everything included in the standard edition--a more premium version of the Chameleon car, checkpoints, and charging cable--as well as an exclusive Hot Wheels diecast McLaren Senna car and bonus in-game content.

You don't have to choose between PlayStation or iOS here either. One copy of the standard or collector's edition works on both iOS and PlayStation platforms. The Rift Rally app is compatible with iPhones and iPads.
