Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is now accessible for rental or purchase on streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, priced at $20 for rental and $25 for purchase. The streaming release coincided with the announcement of the 4K Blu-ray release date and the availability of not one, but two steelbook editions. Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s Junior Edition Steelbook is set to launch with artwork featuring either Sonic or Shadow characters when the film hits Blu-ray on April 15. This follows a similar trend we observed with Deadpool & Wolverine last year, making it interesting to see if this becomes a common practice.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Junior Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)

$45 | Releases April 15

The first Junior Edition Steelbook for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 showcases the Blue Blur in action. This version includes 4K Blu-ray, standard 1080p Blu-ray, and digital copies of Sonic 3. Additionally, you will receive a collection of bonus featurettes.

Preorders for the Sonic-themed Junior Edition Steelbook are available at Walmart for $45.

Amazon had been accepting preorders for several weeks, but as of January 21, Sonic 3 is no longer listed for preorder on Amazon. That said, we don’t believe it’s sold out, as the standard 4K and DVD editions are also unavailable for purchase. We anticipate that Amazon will reopen preorders once it lists the Shadow variant of the Junior Edition Steelbook.

Amazon and Walmart both offer preorder price guarantees. You will not be charged until your order ships, and you will only pay the lowest price.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Shadow Steelbook Edition (4K Blu-ray)

The Sonic 3 Shadow Steelbook is currently exclusively available for preorder at Target, but we can expect other retailers to offer it soon. This Shadow variant matches the Sonic edition, featuring the same artwork but with red accents instead of blue.

Like the Sonic version, the Shadow edition is priced at $45 and includes 4K Blu-ray, standard 1080p Blu-ray, and digital copies of Sonic 3. You will still receive the same bonus features. The only difference between the two editions is the steelbook design.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Standard Edition (4K Blu-ray)

$36 | Launches April 15

If you have no interest in steelbook covers, the 4K version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is available for preorder at $36 atWalmart.

Preorders for the DVD are available for $26 at Walmart. Currently, it appears that Sonic 3 will not be offered as a standalone 1080p Blu-ray release. Therefore, even if you do not possess a 4K player, you may still need to purchase the 4K edition to enjoy Sonic 3 on standard Blu-ray.
