Amazon has just launched a new offer on 4K UHD films; 3 for $33, featuring blockbusters like Dune, Barbie, Blade Runner 2049, Jurassic Park, and many more. That's a steal at just $11 per film, considering each would typically run you up somewhere between $20 to $40. Many titles are available in this offer, so it could be worth picking up any you're missing from your collection.
Many viewers are growing frustrated with the haphazard way streaming services add and remove content. But if you own the disc, they can't take it away from you, can they? "But who even has a Blu-ray player nowadays?" If you own a PS5 or an Xbox Series X, you do. Both these consoles feature a 4K Blu-ray drive, capable of running 4K UHD discs.
Our Top Picks: 3 for $33 - 4K UHD Films
Digital media era's honeymoon phase is waning. While it dominated the entertainment industry for the past decade, physical media is staging a comeback. With streamers downsizing, merging, or even removing content, owning your favorite movies ensures they're always within reach.
While streaming movies might seem convenient, there's a special satisfaction in physically owning the movie. Picture holding it in your hands—it's yours, completely yours, and at a discounted price, no less. And let's not forget, many of these come in stunning 4K UHD quality, surpassing anything you can stream. Plus, there are so many good films included in the offer at Amazon, that we think you might even struggle to narrow it down to just three.
Recently, rival retail chain Target responded to the reports claiming that it will stop selling physical media, revealing that it will continue to sell physical media but will limit the number of copies.
Despite the rise of streaming services and digital-only entertainment devices, physical media continues to show its importance, particularly as it gives consumers full control over the media they purchase.
In certain cases, movies and TV shows made for streaming services have been pulled completely, leaving fans with no way to view them. In another recent case, the Funimation app shut down earlier this month, and customers are expressing frustration that their digital copies of the app wouldn't transfer over to Crunchyroll despite the merger between the two anime giants.
