Introduction to Prime Day Blu-ray Deals

Here at The Verge, we love physical media, and we know many of you do as well. That’s why it’s our duty to share the news that many great 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray movies, TV shows, and box sets are on sale for Prime Day. Amazon is currently offering a ton of great Blu-ray deals, including a “buy two, get one free” deal, but if you’d rather shop elsewhere, other retailers have an excellent selection of deals, too.

Shopping Options Beyond Amazon

Now until tonight at 12AM ET, for example, Target is running a “buy two, get one free” promo. Barnes & Noble, meanwhile, is hosting a big sale on Criterion Collection classics through July 27th. These deals are perfect for those looking to expand their physical media collection without breaking the bank.

Important Considerations for 4K Blu-ray Purchases

One thing to note — and you may already be aware of this — is that you need a 4K Blu-ray player to play 4K Blu-rays. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X can both serve as a basic option, but we thought you’d like to know that Panasonic’s solid UB420-K 4k Blu-ray player is also down to $235.99 (normally $250) at Amazon when you clip the coupon for an additional $5.03 off.

Some Other Great Blu-ray Recommendations

Updated to reflect current pricing and availability, and a new deal for Akira, there are plenty of other great Blu-ray options to consider. Whether you’re a fan of classic films or the latest releases, there’s something for everyone in the current sales.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Prime Day is a great time to stock up on your favorite 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray movies, TV shows, and box sets. With deals available at Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, and more, you can find the perfect additions to your physical media collection. Don’t forget to consider your playback options, and happy shopping!
