Sonic The Hedgehog 3's Shadow Steelbook Is Exclusive To Amazon
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now available to rent or buy on streaming platforms, including Prime Video, for $20 or $25, respectively. The streaming launch coincided with the reveal of the 4K Blu-ray release date and the existence of not one, but two steelbooks. Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Limited Edition Steelbook will be available with Sonic or Shadow character art when the movie arrives on Blu-ray April 15. The Shadow steelbook variant is an Amazon exclusive. We recently saw the two steelbook approach with Deadpool & Wolverine, so it will be interesting to see if this format becomes a trend.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)
$45 | Releases April 15
Sonic the Hedgehog 3's first Limited Edition Steelbook features the Blue Blur doing what he does best. This edition comes with 4K Blu-ray, standard 1080p Blu-ray, and digital versions of Sonic 3. You also get a bunch of bonus featurettes.
Preorders for the Sonic variant of the Limited Edition Steelbook releases are available at Amazon and Walmart for $45.
Amazon and Walmart both offer preorder price guarantees. You won't be charged until your order ships, and you will only pay the lowest price offered between the time you preorder and release.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Limited Edition Shadow Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)
$45 | Releases April 15, Amazon Exclusive
Sonic 3's Limited Edition Steelbook featuring Shadow is exclusive to Amazon and available to preorder for $45. As an exclusive--and especially because it's exclusive to Amazon--we'd expect this version to be harder to find than the Sonic steelbook. The Shadow variant complements the Sonic edition by offering the same art design, just with red streaks instead of blue.
Like the Sonic variant, the Shadow version costs $45 and comes with 4K Blu-ray, standard 1080p Blu-ray, and digital versions of Sonic 3. You'll also get the same bonus features. The only difference between the two releases is the steelbook.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Standard Edition (4K Blu-ray)
$36 | Releases April 15
If you don't have any interest in steelbook cases, the 4K release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is up for preorder for $36 at Walmart. Amazon preorders for the standard 4K edition should reopen soon.
Preorders for the DVD release are available for $26 at Walmart. At this time, it doesn't appear that Sonic 3 will get a standalone 1080p Blu-ray release. As such, even if you don't have a 4K media player, you'll still need to get the 4K edition to watch Sonic 3 on standard Blu-ray.
